Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
On October 15, 2019 in a united front, Long Island’s vanguards in the fight against domestic violence—advocates, law enforcement and survivors—stood with U.S. Senator Charles Schumer to demand immediate federal action in the Senate to reauthorize the Violence Against Women Act, and they cited local reasons why there is simply no time to waste. Schumer revealed how millions of dollars in fed funds belonging to Long Island and needed locally to battle domestic violence and save lives are locked in limbo until the Senate moves. Schumer detailed the amount of money on the line, and unveiled local arrest numbers across the Island that prove the clear need for these funds in the fight against the all-too-common threat of domestic abuse. He explained how these funds assist law enforcement, youth, schools, victims and more as he makes the case and joined with locals to apply maximum pressure.
