Dear Community,
On Saturday, I was incredibly proud to host a rally in the Garment District to advocate for the passage of my bill with Assemblymember Anna Kelles, the Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act (S7428/A8352). This bill would require fashion retailers and manufacturers that conduct business in New York to map their supply chains, disclose environmental and social impacts, and set targets in accordance with Science Based Targets— regulating the fashion industry in a way that’s never been done before in the US. Ultimately, this bill will allow us to build a sustainable, thriving fashion industry that prioritizes people and the planet over profits.
I’d especially like to thank Assemblymember Anna Kelles, Assemblymember Jessica Gonzalez-Rojas, State Senator Brad Hoylman, the New Standard Fashion Institute, members of our Fashion Act coalition, and advocates for joining us for this incredible rally. If we are to truly transform the fashion industry and hold it accountable for its impact on people and the planet, then we must work together to pass this crucial legislation.

With Gratitude,
State Senator Alessandra Biaggi
