Justin Brannan Helps Girl Scouts Get Connected to the Press
Girl Scouts today are more outspoken than they were years ago!
The Gotham Gazzette featured a story about Councilman Justin Brannan helping Girl Scouts. Some members of Troop 2653 met with Brannan to discuss how some NYC schools weren’t complying with the law in providing girls with pads or tampons.
Brannan helped connect the Girl Scouts with journalists.
Brannan said, “When New York City passed the historic law to ensure all public school students had access to free tampons and pads two years ago, we celebrated. But what’s the point of fighting to pass laws if they ultimately aren’t being implemented or enforced?” said Brannan, a first-term Democrat who represents souther Brooklyn’s 43rd Council District, in an emailed statement. “I applaud the Girl Scouts for doing this important investigative work which will force the DOE to finally comply with the law. We adults can all learn a lesson from their example.”
Applause for Brannan for taking the time to speak to these young women.
