Exclamation  Petition to NY lawmakers: Stop use of public $$ to send students to JRC

There are 2 bills pending in the New York state legislature which, if passed, would ban the state from using public funds for any school or program using aversives.  

A large percentage (60%) of JRC's students come from New York. Most of them are only able to stay in JRC because NY state public funds are paying for it.

If NY no longer allows public funds to be spent on abusive programs, most of JRC's NY students will be gone.  This would not only be great for those students, but could potentially deliver a fatal financial blow to JRC itself.

Petition asking NY lawmakers to pass these bills is below.  Anyone can sign, though NY residents are especially encouraged to:
