To the New York State Senate:

We write as survivors of sexual assault and their loved ones urging you to publicly commit to moving swiftly to remove Governor Cuomo from office.

We stand with the women who came forward and shared their experiences at great risk to their own safety and well being. It is clear that Governor Cuomo is unfit to represent New York state. He should resign, but if he refuses, you must act immediately to remove him from office.

The investigative report by Attorney General James' office proves what we already knew — Andrew Cuomo harassed employees and his behavior violated state and federal law. We implore Democrats who called for this investigation to take the results seriously. Anything less is unacceptable and a flagrant disregard for past, present and future employees and residents of New York State.

Attorney General James’ investigation was based on widespread and credible evidence that Cuomo harassed his former and current employees. We commend AG James for her professionalism and objective work in pursuance of this report.

We urge you to side with survivors and women, and demand that Governor Cuomo resign or be removed from office.

Sincerely,

Sexual assault survivors, domestic violence survivors, and their loved ones
