Additionally, the participating organizations and his office's staff will distribute important information about the variety of services and resources available to them to help address issues they may be facing, whether they concern women's reproductive and health rights to the criminal justice system, among many others.

Furthermore, with this Day of Action Senator Rivera will reaffirm his support towards all those organizations that provide vital services to his constituents and face an uncertain future due to the potential actions by the incoming administration and the Republican-led Congress. Senator Rivera will be taking this opportunity to reassure his community that both as an elected official and as an American he is committed to protecting and defending the rights and dignity of his fellow Bronxites and Americans against any attempt by the federal government to infringe upon them.
