Interfaith Impact, a coalition of Protestant, Reform Jewish and Unitarian Universalists from across the state are lobbying in support of all ten points of Gov. Andrew Cuomo's Women's Equality Agenda announced in the State of the State Address in January.

Lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) New Yorkers across the state say they are victimized for who they are. Because they are attracted to the same sex, both sexes, or their gender identity does not match the body they were born in, LGBT people face rejection from employers, peers and family members; eviction from their homes; harassment at school and even loss of a job.

New York State Supreme Court Justice Sheila Abdus-Salaam of the Appellate Division, First Department, is poised to become the first African American woman to serve on the state's highest court, following her nomination by Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this month.

Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced last week that state officials have completed the purchase of 9,300 acres of former Finch Pruyn property in the Adirondack Park. This is the second phase of the 69,000 acres of land purchased from the paper company by The Nature Conservancy in August 2012, with the agreement that the state would purchase the land over five years. The Nature Conservancy will provide $500,000 to the state for Adirondack communities to promote economic development and tourism.

The American Camp Association has announced a new "Heal the Children Program" that will provide scholarships to children affected by Hurricane Sandy so they can attend day and sleep-away camps this summer.

Governor Andrew M. Cuomo, Senate Majority Coalition Co-Leaders Dean Skelos and Jeff Klein, and Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver today outlined the agreement on the 2013-14 Budget.
