I am excited to announce that we will celebrating Eric's birthday with an evening of cocktails and jazz on Thursday, December 3rd at B.B. King Blues Club and Bar.
Please join us for what will be a celebratory evening in support of Eric's campaign committee, Schneiderman 2018!
Since being elected as Attorney General of New York State in 2010, Eric has taken on tough fights to protect everyday New Yorkers, recovering more money and generating more innovative national models for fighting crime and corruption than any New York Attorney General in history.
Most recently, Eric has partnered with Facebook to use its analytic methods and face recognition software to fight human trafficking. He is leading the charge on climate change, creating a coalition of 25 states, cities, and counties to defend the Environmental Protection Agency's Clean Power Plan against legal challenges. Just this past month, Eric successfully stood up for workers rights and protections, as J-Crew joined five other major retailers in announcing it would end on-call scheduling, a direct result to Eric's inquiry into the practice at over a dozen companies.
We hope you can join us on December 3rd to celebrate Eric's birthday and support his great accomplishments as New York State's Attorney General on behalf of all New Yorkers.
More details on the event can be found here, and I've included a copy of the event invitation and a brief biography below. For information on joining the Host Committee Reception, please contact us at 917-463-3990 or email events@schneiderman.org.
Sincerely,
Eric T. Schneiderman was elected the 65th Attorney General of New York State on November 2, 2010. As the highest ranking law enforcement officer for the State, Eric has taken on the tough fights to protect New Yorkers—because he believes there must be one set of rules for everyone.
Eric has won national recognition for his fight against crime and corruption on behalf of everyday New Yorkers who work hard and play by the rules. He has locked up corrupt politicians who ripped off taxpayers, prosecuted companies that gouged victims of Superstorm Sandy, and led the national effort to take on some of the largest banks in the world for their reckless misconduct.
Eric has worked to provide relief for families hit hard by the housing crisis. He created the Homeowner Protection Program to help New Yorkers at risk of foreclosure stay in their homes, a program that has already served over 43,000 New York families. He led the national effort that secured a $13 billion settlement with JP Morgan Chase and a $16 billion dollar settlement with Bank of America for their role in the collapse of the housing market—the two largest settlements of their kind in US history.
Eric has fought for justice for all workers, defending their right to a fair and decent wage for a full day’s work. Since 2011, he has returned more than $20 million in restitution to more than 17,000 workers who were cheated out of pay by employers.
While taking down major drug trafficking rings across New York State, Eric also created the Community Overdose Prevention (COP) Program—a $5 million commitment to equip law enforcement agencies with naloxone, a life-saving antidote that can immediately stop a heroin overdose.
Before becoming Attorney General, Eric was praised as a leading reformer in the State Senate by numerous editorial pages and good government organizations. Among his many legislative accomplishments, Eric led the effort to reform the broken and outdated Rockefeller drug laws, and he cracked down on health insurance companies trying to deny coverage to vulnerable New Yorkers.
