The Empire State Pride Agenda announced this week that they will be suspending operations in 2016 after 25 years in operation. The group’s Board of Directors unanimously voted on the move; however, the group’s political action committee will stay functional. The group said via press release:
The Boards’ decision comes on the heels of securing the Pride Agenda’s top remaining policy priority – protecting transgender New Yorkers from discrimination in housing, employment, credit, education and public accommodations – in the form of new regulations announced in partnership with Governor Andrew M. Cuomo at the organization’s Fall Dinner on October 22, 2015.
Later in the release, the group said that it would be passing on pieces of its policy agenda to other unnamed groups in the state.
