🎉🐴 IT’S OFFICIAL: ROMANCH’S LAW HAS PASSED! 🐴🎉
Today, the NYC Council voted to END horse-drawn carriages in New York City. 🗳️✅
After DECADES of fighting, failed bills, and too many lives lost, New York has finally said: no more. 💪
Here’s what Romanch’s Law does:
🚫 No new carriage licenses, starting now
🐎 Carriages off NYC streets by June 1, 2028
🤝 A transition plan for carriage workers
THANK YOU to Speaker Julie Menin, Council Member Chris Marte, Council Member Harvey Epstein, Health Chair Lynn Schulman, Majority Leader Shaun Abreau, Council Member Shahana Hanif, the Animal Welfare Caucus, every co-sponsor and Council Member who voted YES, and Mayor Mamdani for committing to sign Intro 943 into law. 🙌
And thank YOU. Every email, every call, every rally. You made this happen. 📣
This is what political power for animals looks like. 🔥
Next stop: Mayor Mamdani’s signature. ✍️
