Some causes that are dear to my heart.
Animal rights and protection
NYC needs to shut down the inhumane and unsafe carriage trade. It is one of the largest in the world, with 68 horses out at any given time. It is an anachronism and does not belong in one of the most congest cities in the world
But the NYC Council and Mayor continue to turn their back on the beleaguered carriage horse. They are all afraid to rock the boat - to go against the unions and the media. They are hoping we will go away.
