UPDATE #3: 1. We have surpassed 12,000 signatures! Please continue to share the petition with others so we can achieve 15,000 signatures. We read every single comment and are using your feedback to help us draft our initial bill. 2. Maddie’s aunt, Rita, has created a Facebook group called “Maddie’s Move.” Please join the group to keep up-to-date with our mission to change the DMV license renewal policy in New York State: https://m.facebook.com/groups/928074770707323. There has been more local (and even international!) media coverage regarding our call for change: From NY1: http://ny1.com/nyc/queens/news/2018/07/07/queens-residents-create-petition-seeking-stricter-requirements-for-some-elderly-drivers From Times Ledger:https://www.timesledger.com/stories/2018/28/dmvpetition_2018_07_13_q.html From QNS: https://qns.com/story/2018/07/02/deadly-traffic-incident-whitestone-queens-residents-petition-regularly-retest-senior-drivers/ International News from Taiwan’s 3rd most read newspaper: https://udn.com/news/story/6813/3231609 4. Please continue to call Governor Cuomo’s office at 518-474-8390. This is an election year for him and we need to continue putting pressure on Cuomo to hold DMV accountable for keeping unsafe drivers off the road. 5. We are looking for passionate individuals to join this cause. Please contact Rita Barravecchio (Maddie’s aunt) at ritabarravecchio@hotmail.com if you would like to volunteer your time, share your skills (drafting bills, social media, research, community organizing), or help connect us to state representatives.
