Vera House Co-Executive Directors Randi Bregman and Angela Douglas and Vera House Board of Directors Issue Statement
Aug 18, 2022 -SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Today, Co-Executive Directors Randi Bregman and Angela Douglas and Vera House Board of Directors issued the following statement:
Aug 9, 2022 -Removing the “right to choose” regarding personal circumstances, directly affects the trajectory of individuals’ lives and limits their freedom.
May 25, 2022 -As we honor the life and death of George Floyd on this day, we are no more encouraged, hopeful, or expectant of the change that our country might see. George Floyd needlessly had his life taken just two years ago by the senseless act of murder. A public murder by those set in place to protect and serve him. The hurt and sting are no less two years later.
Apr 5, 2022 -Andrew Cuomo spent over $300,000 on ads that paint him as the victim. That is NOT the message we want the survivors of his sexual harassment or anyone that has experienced abuse to hear. Tell survivors #IBelieveYou by sharing this message instead.

2020 Annual Report Highlights: Committed to Anti-Racism and Anti-Oppression
Aug 17, 2021 -Vera House came to recognize the deep connections between domestic and sexual violence and other forms of oppression, particularly racism.
“The Friends of Andrew Cuomo” spent over $300,000 to launch an ad campaign designed to paint former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as a victim of political attacks because of the sexual harassment claims against him. We cannot allow this gaslighting to continue while the ad revictimizes victims of not only Cuomo’s sexual harassment but ANYONE who has ever experienced abuse. The tactics used by Cuomo and his supporters further represent the barriers that survivors face every day that prevent them from coming forward and getting support.
We at Vera House have asked Andrew Cuomo to take accountability for the harm he has caused on multiple occasions. Instead of admitting to his wrongdoings, he continues to use power and control to suppress and invalidate the truths of the survivors. Today we released a video, produced by Solon Quinn Studios and supported by Survivors’ Network, that sends a powerful message to survivors, "I believe you."
We are asking you to help us amplify the video so that survivors throughout New York and the rest of the world know that we believe and stand with them.
