Hochul approves inclusive ballot bill, trans equity fund
“Our goal in advocating for this fund has always been to foster new and emerging trans leaders, and this fund will do just that,” said Elisa Crespo, who is the executive director of the New Pride Agenda — one of the leading groups fighting for the bill. “More importantly, for the first time in history, trans New Yorkers will be recognized in the state budget and that deserves to be celebrated. We thank Governor Hochul for signing this bill into law.”
