Councilwoman Taiba Sultana has earned strong media recognition for championing justice and community protections in Easton. She sponsored the Resolution to Protect Women’s Rights, sponsored Easton's animal-welfare reforms banning cat declawing and pet-store sales, and introduced the resolutions declaring June as Pride Month and gun violence a public health crisis. Her voting record reflects her commitment to equity: she cast the decisive vote to decriminalize small amounts of marijuana, voted to pass Easton’s Affordable Housing ordinance, and introduced a bill to expand parental leave to 6 weeks and provide 5 days of bereavement leave for all city employees, union and non-union. These actions have solidified her reputation as one of Easton’s most community-driven and justice-focused leaders.
