🚨 JULY 15 IS OUR CHANCE TO END DEADLY HORSE CARRIAGES IN NYC. WE NEED YOU AT CITY HALL. 🚨

This is the hearing we’ve been fighting for.

On Wednesday, July 15, the NYC Council Health Committee will hold a City Hall public hearing on Romanch’s Law (Intro 943), formerly named Ryder’s Law but renamed in honor of the teenager who was tragically killed June 18th by a runaway carriage.

Romanch’s Law will permanently END NYC’s horse carriages and offer carriage horses the retirement they deserve in loving sanctuary homes where they can finally run free on grass.

📍 City Hall – Lower Manhattan

⏰ Arrive by 8:30 AM (Broadway security entrance)

📣 9:00 AM Rally

🏛️ 10:00 AM Public Hearing & Public Testimony

🔗 Sign up to testify at the link in our bio or:

 council.nyc.gov/testify

Select the “Committee on Health” hearing on July 15 at 10:00 AM. You can testify in person, by Zoom, or in writing, but IN PERSON is most effective. 

Last month, 16-year-old carriage horse Deniz collapsed and died while pulling tourists.

One week later, 18-year-old Romanch Mahajan was killed in the eighth violent horse carriage incident in the past year. No amount of new regulations or “reforms “can prevent the next horse from spooking and killing someone. It must be ended.

At the July 15 hearing, Romanch’s devastated family will be joined by equine experts, national animal welfare organizations, local advocates, concerned New Yorkers, and horse sanctuaries.

But we can’t do it alone. We need you there! 

Bring water and snacks. Plan to remain inside City Hall once you enter.

📞 Speaker Julie Menin’s and Chair Lynn Schulman’s contact information and testimony tips are in the pinned comment below.

For Romanch. For Deniz. For Lady. For Ryder. For every horse.

🐴 78% of polled New Yorkers support ending horse carriages.

And when tourists see it up close, they feel it too.

💔The fear. The exhaustion. Horses forced into traffic, collapsing or dying on pavement, used until they’re broken and discarded.

Horses deserve better.

This is not a “NYC experience.” It’s cruelty.

Don’t be part of the trap.

🔗➡️ Go to the link in our bio and tell the NYC Council to reintroduce and pass Ryder’s Law this year so these horses can finally live free. #RydersLaw @nyccouncil
