On June 6, representatives from the New York Liberty Act Coalition – specifically, members of Make the Road New York and the DREAM Action Coalition – spoke to a member of Sen. Felder’s staff, and with Sen. Felder himself, concerning the New York State Liberty Act. A Liberty Act Coalition member provided the following account of the conversations to NY State 17th District for Progress:
“We met with one of his [Felder’s] staff, who said that yesterday a number of people were calling the office to urge the Senator to vote for the liberty act. He mentioned that the senator currently has a summary of bill in his desk. We urged him to tell the senator of the importance of this bill, but he could not commit/confirm how the senator will vote. After the meeting, we saw the senator so we asked him if he could support the bill and he said he could not give us an answer yet. That he’ll look at it.”
