As announced on Mon., Dec. 19th, Reverend Al Sharpton, President of National Action Network, and one of the country's foremost leaders for civil rights, along with the National Action Network's Board of Directors, is appealing to Gov. Andrew Cuomo to sign the historic five-borough taxi legislation, saying it is about fairness and justice: fairness for all of the neighborhoods that the yellow taxi industry has refused to serve for decades, and justice for 40,000 livery drivers who would finally be able to earn a living without hiding in the shadows.
According to Rev. Sharpton, "By signing this bill, the Governor will stand on the side of fairness and justice and would help deliver an early Christmas for so many underserved and struggling New Yorkers across our city."
