Taking the Fight Full Time
In 2018, seven former legislative staffers who had experienced sexual harassment, abuse, and retaliation joined together after watching as surface-level and even dangerous policies were rushed through in the name of #MeToo, policies that wouldn't actually protect workers.
We knew public servants, and all workers deserved better. So we got to work.
Justice doesn't wait. Neither do we.
Harassment-Free New York fights for a world where workers — especially public servants — have real protection against harassment and discrimination, clear paths to justice, and meaningful accountability for perpetrators.
We're not just survivors. We're unintended policy experts, advocates, and change-makers who've already passed 8 landmark laws protecting New York workers. Now, as a professional nonprofit, we're expanding our fight for workplace dignity and justice.
