A fair economy is key to justice for all. Fair Deal NY is fighting for the right to live our lives without fear of exploitation. We are a coalition of labor, legal services, nonprofit organizations, consumer advocates, small business groups,and community-based organizations working together to end abusive and unfair business practices in New York by updating New York’s consumer protection law to protect New Yorkers. We fully support Attorney General James’ FAIR Act, sponsored by Senator Comrie and Assemblymember Lasher.
Contact your state elected officials and ask them to support the FAIR Act if you believe:
• that New York should ensure that its consumer protection law protects the most vulnerable and that bad actors harming New Yorkers should follow the prevailing legal standard required in almost all other jurisdictions;
• that New York regulators should have the same resources as those in other states to be able to conduct investigations into bad actors and effect industry reform;
• that a meaningful remedy is also the most effective deterrent to unlawful conduct;
• that access to justice is critical for returning money siphoned from New Yorkers’ pockets by entities that take advantage of them; and
• that abuse has no business in New York.
If your organization is interested in joining our campaign to fight to end abusive and unfair business practices in New York, please contact Carolyn Coffey at ccoffey@mfjegal.org.
