Senator Bill Perkins Marches In The 14th Annual Gladys Ricart—Victims Of Domestic Violence Memorial Walk | Brides’ March

On Friday, September 26^th, Senator Perkins joined hundreds of advocates, activists, and individuals—from the Washington Heights community and beyond—in the 14^th Annual Brides’ Walk to raise awareness concerning the scourge of domestic violence.  The Senator was proud to offer remarks in the loving memory of Gladys Ricart—a young lady who was murdered by a former abusive boyfriend in an atrocious act of domestic violence—on the day she was to be wed.  Senator Perkins also looks forward to returning to Albany to advocate for and support comprehensive legislative measures that fully support and empower victims and deter this type of reprehensible conduct from ever happening in the first place.
