Local legislators sent a letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul on Monday asking her to support and sign a bill that would create a task force on missing women and girls who are Black, Indigenous, people of color (BIPOC).
…
“We pass multiple task force bills every year,” said Assemblywoman Sarah Clark. “This one is very much focused on BIPOC women and girls who go missing across the state and creating a task force that would really look at the way we use our alert system and various other methods to help find these missing women and girls, because it’s not working particularly for our Black and Brown girls who go missing.”
