Join the Women’s Rights in the Workplace Advocates as they chat with Daniel O’Donnell, the first openly gay man elected to the NY State Assembly, where he has been a progressive voice for all New Yorkers since 2002. Assemblyman O’Donnell was the prime sponsor of several trailblazing bills, most notably the Marriage Equality Act, a bill O’Donnell led to passage in the Assembly five times before it was finally signed into law in June 2011. He was also the prime sponsor of New York’s anti-bullying legislation, the Dignity for All Students Act, which requires public schools in New York to combat bias-based bullying and harassment. And he has been a consistent leader and zealous opponent of the irresponsible hydraulic fracturing industry, protecting all New Yorkers from that ecologically invasive and dangerous process.
