Madeline Singas would be a disaster
Stop Cuomo from appointing a vicious, "tough on crime" prosecutor to New York's highest court. Singas would undo years of criminal justice reform and reverse victories for tenants and workers.
What are legal advocates and ORGANIZERS saying?
Public interest lawyers, public defenders, and advocates fighting for working-class New Yorkers know that Madeline Singas's appointment to the Court of Appeals would be a disaster and are demanding that the New York State Senate stop Singas from taking the bench.
Help us block Cuomo's worst judicial appointee yet. Save New York from this out-of-touch, regressive prosecutor by convincing the State Senate to prevent Singas from becoming a judge on our state's highest court.
