Hello Petition Supporters,

My name is Alexandra, and I’m on the Civic Engagement team at Change.org. I recently spoke with the Chief of Staff and Director of Communications for Assemblywoman Amy Paulin, who represents New York’s 88th Assembly District.

Assemblywoman Paulin’s office confirmed that she is not only supportive of the medical legalization of psilocybin — she is the prime sponsor of the legislation Bill A2142. Her office emphasized that she has been a key source of momentum behind efforts to establish a regulated medical psilocybin program in New York State. They shared that this is a top priority bill for Assemblywoman Paulin
The bill text and status are available here (recommended by her office):

In late September, she led a three-hour Assembly hearing featuring testimony from medical experts, researchers, clinicians, and patient advocates to thoroughly examine the therapeutic potential of psilocybin and the safeguards needed for a regulated framework. You can view a recording of this session here:

Her public statements on the issue have been shared on the petition page, and can also be found here alongside expert testimony:

Assemblymember Paulin’s leadership on this issue reflects a deep commitment to expanding safe, evidence-based mental health treatment options for New Yorkers.
