I applaud the Speaker for establishing this working group. Young women, as well as all survivors, deserve to feel and be safe. We should amend our laws to give them greater protection and see what changes can be made to our justice system to ensure survivors are heard and treated with respect.

Nearly every community in the 82nd has a shoreline & homes nearby that are at risk in future storms. Addressing our climate risk from rising tides to more intense flash flooding is a non negotiable for our area. Some push a false choice between affordability & addressing this reality.
