Women senators from both parties — all 22 of them — called on Senate leadership to bring about legislation to update and strengthen the procedures available to survivors of all forms of sexual harassment and discrimination in congressional workplaces.The House of Representatives passed bipartisan legislation in February aimed at preventing sexual harassment and discrimination in congressional workplaces and helping the survivors of these acts seek justice.The full text of the Senators' letter reads:Dear Leader McConnell and Senator Schumer:We write to express our deep disappointment that the Senate has failed to enact meaningful reforms to the Congressional Accountability Act of 1995. We urge you to bring before the full Senate legislation that would update and strengthen the procedures available to survivors of sexual harassment and discrimination in congressional workplaces.Everyone deserves to work in an environment free from harassment and discrimination. In November, with your leadership, the Senate took an important first step in the effort to end harassment and discrimination in congressional workplaces with the passage of S. Res. 330, which requires anti-harassment and discrimination training for all Senators and staff at least once each Congress. While this training requirement was a significant step to address workplace harassment, there was broad, bipartisan agreement at that time that more had to be done to support survivors.Although the Congressional Accountability Act (CAA) implemented meaningful reforms when it became law in 1995, it continues to require survivors to endure an antiquated dispute resolution process, including a month-long counseling session, forced mediation and a 30-day “cooling off” period before a victim can make a decision whether to pursue justice in a courtroom or continue with administrative procedures. The time has come to rewrite the CAA to provide a more equitable process that supports survivors of harassment and discrimination.The Senate’s inaction stands in stark contrast to the bipartisan effort in the House of Representatives that led to the passage of bipartisan CAA reform legislation in February. The House bill includes a number of important provisions, such as eliminating waiting periods before a victim can take their case to court, increased transparency for awards and settlements, and a requirement that Members of the Senate and House pay for an award or settlement stemming from a case of sexual harassment or discrimination that they personally commit.When the Senate considers CAA reform legislation, we will also have the ability to address an inequity that now exists between House and Senate staff. The House of Representatives passed H. Res. 724 that provides House staff who are survivors of harassment or discrimination access to free legal representation. Senate staff who face similar harassment or discrimination must pay personally for legal representation or represent themselves through complicated legal proceedings. Therefore, the Senate must act quickly to provide Senate staff with the same resources as their House colleagues.Inaction is unacceptable when a survey shows that four out of 10 women congressional staffers believe that sexual harassment is a problem on Capitol Hill and one out of six women in the same survey responded that they have been the survivors of sexual harassment. Survivors who have bravely come forward to share their stories have brought to light just how widespread harassment and discrimination continue to be throughout Capitol Hill. No longer can we allow the perpetrators of these crimes to hide behind a 23-year-old law. It’s time to rewrite the Congressional Accountability Act and update the process through which survivors seek justice.Sincerely,—The bipartisan letter, sent to Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) and Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY), was led by U.S. Senators Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Patty Murray (D-WA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and signed by Ranking Members Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Claire McCaskill (D-MO), as well as Members of the Rules Committee Working Group Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Deb Fischer (R-NE), Catherine Cortez-Masto (D-NV).

You see a dog enter a restaurant with a vest that says "service dog."How do you, or the restaurant, know if the dog is actually a trained service dog?It's a problem that has prompted more than a dozen states to crack down on people trying to pass off their pet as a service animal."They make me angry, they really do," said Colleen Belanger.Belanger has a service dog and she is upset people are using fake service dogs.She said it is a growing concern as more and more people are taking advantage of the system.Some dog owners buy service costumes online so they can take their untrained dogs into places they don't belong.Belanger said it's not right because her dog Madison is much more than a pet."This is a medical device to me. It's the same as having a wheelchair, cane or oxygen," Belanger said.For Madison to become a service dog, she had to be put through rigorous training and documentation.Belanger said having Madison with her is a matter of life or death.Belanger has asthma and a severe allergy, which is something Madison has been taught to detect and prevent.Michigan State University Professor David Favre said phony service dogs could be dangerous."The non-service dog animals are not really trained. They are no level near the amount of training real service dogs are. So you will have problems of noise and barking and possible biting. You just never know what these untrained dogs will do," Favre said.Favre said Michigan recently passed a law that made fake service animals illegal."It's a misdemeanor, a low level crime. Possibly 90 days in jail and a fine," Favre said.As for Belanger, she said fake service animals could potentially ruin the good reputations of so many life saving animals. She hopes striker laws are put in place."Those of us who are disabled, we need this. So we can go out and enjoy life just like other people do," Belanger said.While Michigan passed a law making it illegal to lie about a service animal, Favre said there is no state or federal law requiring a person to prove to a business their service animal is legitimate. 2082

WNBA star Maya Moore announced Wednesday that she had married the love of her life — a man that, in part, through her advocacy, had been freed from prison after his wrongful conviction was overturned earlier this year.During an appearance on Good Morning America Wednesday, the Minnesota Lynx small forward announced she had married Jonathan Irons earlier this year."We wanted to announce today that we are super excited to continue the work that we are doing together, but doing it as a married couple," Moore said. "We got married a couple months ago and we're excited to just continue this new chapter of life together."Irons was arrested in 1998 and charged with the burglary and shooting of a suburban St. Louis home. Irons, who was 16 at the time of the shooting, was convicted by an all-white jury and sentenced to 50 years in prison.According to SB Nation, the prosecution's case hinged on the testimony of the homeowner, Stanley Stotler. Stotler identified Irons as the man who had broken into his home, but Irons denied he was at the scene at the time. Police also alleged that Irons committed to the crime, which Irons denies.Moore first met Irons in 2007 through a prison ministry program when she was 18 years old. At the time, she was beginning her basketball career at UConn, where she would go on to win back-to-back NCAA titles.Moore and Irons developed a friendship and stayed in touch throughout the years. On GMA Wednesday, Irons said that as their relationship evolved, they began to develop romantic feelings for each other."I wanted to marry her but at the same time protect her because being in a relationship with a man in prison, it's extremely difficult and painful," Irons told GMA. "And I didn't want her to feel trapped and I wanted her to feel open and have the ability any time if this is too much for you, go and find somebody. Live your life. Because this is hard."In 2019, Moore stunned the WNBA when she announced that she would be taking a break from basketball to focus on activism within the criminal justice system. She also chose to sit out the 2020 WNBA season.During her hiatus, Moore took an active role in seeking justice for Irons. Moore and Irons' legal team argued that a key fingerprint report that would have ruled Irons out as a suspect in the 1998 shooting had not been submitted as evidence or turned over to the defense.A Missouri judge overturned Irons' conviction in March. On July 2, the judge vacated the conviction, officially clearing Irons' name.Irons said he proposed to Moore the day he was released from prison."When I got out we were in the hotel room we had some friends in the room, it was winding down and we were extremely tired, but we were still gassed up on excitement," Irons said. "It was just me and her in the room and I got down on my knees and I looked up at her and she kind of knew what was going on and I said, 'will you marry me,' she said, 'yes.'"Good Morning America reports that the couple's marriage took place a few months ago in front of socially-distanced family and friends."Over the last 13 years we have just developed a friendship and just entered into this huge battle to get him home and just over time it was pretty clear what the Lord was doing in our hearts and now we're sitting here today, starting a whole new chapter together," Moore said. 3349
