Assemblyman Alec Brook-Krasny (R,C-Coney Island, Bay Ridge) stood alongside his colleagues in Albany toda to help raise awareness and expand New York State’s Donate Life Registry to increase organ donation numbers across the state. According to Donate Life New York, New York ranked 50th out of 52 states and territories in total organ donor enrollment in 2023. Nearly 8,000 New Yorkers are on the waiting list for a transplant, and over 1,000 of those people have been waiting for more than five years. Brook-Krasny is encouraging residents of the 46th Assembly District to consider registering to be organ donors to reverse this trend and save lives.

“I was proud to be able to stand alongside my colleagues on both sides of the aisle today to promote the importance of organ donation,” said Brook-Krasny. “At a time when donor levels are at an all-time low, enrolling is now more important than ever. With the help of online resources, registering is now easier and more accessible than ever. I encourage everyone to take the time today to enroll as an organ donor and help save lives.”
