Proposition 1, the Equal Rights Amendment, was passed with 57% support, ensuring abortion rights and explicit protections against discrimination based on various identities in New York.
Sasha Ahuja, campaign director of New Yorkers for Equal Rights, highlighted the significance of Prop 1, stating it fortifies New York's protections amid national attacks on reproductive and LGBTQ+ rights.
The passage of Prop 1 amidst a multimillion-dollar campaign against it reflects New Yorkers' resilience and commitment to safeguarding rights for present and future generations.
