Thank you @bof for highlighting our open letter to @GovKathyHochul urging her to sign the #FashionWorkersAct ahead of the 12/24 deadline. “Candidly, many of us have risked our livelihoods to campaign for this bill, and we simply cannot wait any longer.” businessoffashion.com/news/sustainab…

Today, our worker council member Shereen Wu published an op-ed @fastcompany explaining why @GovKathyHochul must sign the #FashionWorkersAct to give models first-ever protections against the misuse of artificial intelligence.

We’re proud to stand with @CTurlington, @AngelAlessandra, @ambervalletta and 200 other models urging @GovKathyHochul to sign the #FashionWorkersAct into law immediately. modelalliance.org/openletter

.@GovKathyHochul it's time to pass the #FashionWorkersAct as championed through the legislature by @bradhoylman & @KarinesReyes87

Today, I joined hundreds of models to urge @GovKathyHochul to sign the #FashionWorkersAct, legislation that would provide essential labor protections for models. Join us @ModelAllianceNY by amplifying this letter and tagging @GovKathyHochul.

✊ I have fought w/ @ModelAllianceNY to pass the #FashionWorkerAct so models have basic rights and protections as workers, including protections against the misuse of #AI. We need @GovKathyHochul to stand with workers who make #NewYork the center of the American #fashion industry

Like all workers in New York, fashion models deserve labor rights. @GovKathyHochul has an opportunity to sign the #FashionWorkerAct and protect the faces of the multi-trillion dollar fashion industry. Join our call to action @ModelAllianceNY by sharing & tagging @GovKathyHochul.

@GovKathyHochul sign the fashion worker act! @ModelAllianceNY

.@GovKathyHochul has called up the #FashionWorkersAct, which will protect models – mostly young, immigrant women – from a notoriously predatory industry. It's time to meaningfully regulate model management companies and give models labor rights. @bradhoylman @karinesreyes87

While Trump promises to elevate alleged sexual predators to cabinet positions and throw away basically all national labor standards and enforcement, @GovKathyHochul must sign the #FashionWorkersAct into law ASAP. My op-ed in today’s @NYDailyNews: nydailynews.com/2024/11/25/hoc…

In honor of #FilipinoAmericanHistoryMonth, Assemblymember @ragaforqueens, who co-sponsored the #FashionWorkersAct, presented MA board member @AmbraBattilana with a New York State Assembly Citation for her courageous advocacy work. Kudos, Ambra!

@votejgr Thank you, @votejgr. We appreciate your support!

Human trafficking is a heinous crime that we must do more to curb. That's why the Fashion Workers Act must be signed into law. The bill would establish overdue labor protections for models to create an environment of accountability in NY's fashion industry. The time is now.

@GovKathyHochul, you MUST sign the #FashionWorkersAct, ASAP.

We commend all the brave men who have come forward about their experiences of sex trafficking under the guise of modeling opportunities for #Abercrombie. @GovKathyHochul, you can prevent this abuse by signing the #FashionWorkersAct into law in NY.

We need the #FashionWorkersAct to protect young people who remain vulnerable to sex trafficking under the guise of modeling work. @GovKathyHochul it’s time to sign the bill!

It’s time for @GovKathyHochul to sign the #FashionWorkersAct into law. Young people who aspire to work in New York’s modeling industry should not be so vulnerable to sex trafficking.

We stand in solidarity with all of the survivors and hope this development brings a sense of healing and justice. If you or anyone you know is in need of support, please contact our free and discreet support line: modelalliance.org/support

The highly aspirational nature of modeling, coupled with the industry’s lack of regulation, creates a breeding ground for abuse. We urge @govkathyhochul to sign the #FashionWorkersAct into law as soon as possible so that we can prevent such abuse from happening in the future.

Former Abercrombie CEO Mike Jeffries and his two associates were arrested today in connection with a federal sex-trafficking and interstate prostitution case. nytimes.com/2024/10/22/bus…
