"The Anti-Harassment in Reporting Act. ACS investigations are extremely traumatic and abusers sometimes weaponize ACS by repeatedly making false reports of child mistreatment against their victims. Doing this is already illegal, but New York can't effectively enforce this law because reports can be filed anonymously. The Anti-Harassment in Reporting Act will combat this by switching from anonymous reporting to confidential reporting (where the state keeps a private record of who is filing the reports.)"
"Our government has spent decades selling out Brooklyn to the highest bidders. I run my campaigns with volunteers and small-dollar donations instead of corporate and real estate donors so that I'm free to speak the truth and stand up to the billionaires used to pulling the strings. We're passing life-changing legislation and providing essential direct services, but beyond that, we're building a movement that's shifting power back to the people for a more just future."
Senator Jabari Brisport represents Brooklyn's 25th Senate District, covering Clinton Hill, Navy Yard, Bedford-Stuyvesant, Ocean Hill and parts of Fort Greene, Prospect Heights, and Brownsville. He sponsored and passed the Anti-Harassment in Reporting Act to address weaponized, anonymous ACS reports by converting anonymous reporting into confidential reporting maintained by the state. He runs campaigns funded by volunteers and small-dollar donations rather than corporate or real estate donors to avoid outside influence. He champions life-changing legislation and direct services while organizing a movement to shift power to residents. State senators also vote to confirm or overturn judicial nominees, affecting civil liberties.
