A Message from Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - Chairman on Leave

NY Take Action: They are coming for your kids. Whose side is your Assemblymember on?

The bill to require all students in New York to get the Covid injections, Assemblymember Jeffrey Dinowitz’s (D-Riverdale, Bronx) Assembly Bill A8378, has picked up two co-sponsors including, unfortunately, Richard Gottfried (D-West Midtown) the Chair of the Assembly Health Committee.  On a positive note, four Assemblymembers who voted for the repeal of the religious exemption in 2019 are publicly opposed to A8378.

All the “mandates” in New York so far are based on executive actions by President Biden, Governor Hochul and Mayor de Blasio. Many of these mandates will not survive in the courts, or could be lifted by their successors. In the long run, the only way to have a sustained vaccine mandate is for the legislature and Governor to pass a law. Forcing school children to get the shot is probably the single most harmful mandate our rulers could do, but Governor Hochul has already said this is one of her top priorities.

The way we are going to defeat A8378 is to put so much pressure on the members of the Assembly (and eventually the Senate) that they will not want to be seen by the public voting “yes” on this this bill.

We can expect the introduction of an identical bill in the Senate shortly, most likely from Senator Brad Hoylman (D-Westside of Manhattan) who partnered with Dinowitz on the repeal of the religious exemption for students in 2019, a mandatory flu shots for students bill, and other medical fascism measures
