@DanielsLaw_NY led more 100 NYers to Albany today! S/O Our Legislative Champs & the organizers from #Rochester who led the statewide group! @iknowstanley of @VOCALNewYork @ShayfromROC of @NYCLU + so many others 📣 NYers in crisis deserve compassionate care! #DanielsLawSavesLives

AM Jessica González-Rojas @votejgr says it best “We are closer than ever to bring some semblance of dignity to those behind bars.” That’s why we need to pass the #NoSlaveryinNY Act and move NY #13thForward!

@NYCProgressives #DisbandSRG 📣

🚨NEW: Progressive Caucus Condemns Strategic Response Group’s Aggression Against Jordan Neely Mourners, Press; Reiterates Calls to Disband SRG “With a budget of $90M and little oversight, the SRG has become one of the most dangerous and unaccountable arms of the NYPD.”

The NYC Council has the power to expand funding for mental health services. The NYC Council has the power to provide oversight and curb the NYPD’s overtime pay. The NYC Council has the power to disband the NYPD’s anti-Constitutional SRG Unit. We just need the political will.

Over 100 law professors hailing from ALL NYS law schools just sent a letter to leaders condemning the Governor's misguided bail proposal and urging @CarlHeastie and @AndreaSCousins to remain steadfast in their opposition & #ProtectBailReform. More: legalaidnyc.org/wp-content/upl…

Let's be very clear: There is no gag order preventing the NYPD from showing up to their own oversight hearing. The NYPD are evading accountability. Meanwhile, New Yorkers are still waiting for the SRG to answer for their conduct. nydailynews.com/news/politics/…

If you’re wondering why @GovKathyHochul would publicly veto a bill as popular & important as the Grieving Families Act, the answer is protecting insurance company profits. Seems like a great moment for the Dem supermajority to overturn her veto (& then pass NYHA.)

Good Morning to everyone except the Republican Governor of New York.

Asylum seekers in New York are protesting their eviction from a Manhattan hotel, part of a decision by city officials to move them to a remote camp in Brooklyn. Democracy Now!'s @m_ines_taracena & @LopezSonyi spoke with people about their concerns. democracynow.org/2023/1/31/nyc_…

Where’s all the bail reform outrage for 5 officers charged with murder out on bail??

Tips to keep yourself safe during protest, from Senior Organizer @isabelle_leyva: Stay in touch w/ someone who isn't present + has your full name and date of birth. Check in regularly w/ them, and if that person doesn’t hear from you they can follow up. gothamist.com/news/what-you-…

At Grand Central Terminal for the 5PM “day of rage & remembrance” action to demand the closure of Rikers. NYPD began closing off entrances to the main concourse before protesters gathered. Then, this announcement was displayed on the concourse.

@POTUS asking folks in painful cycles of trauma & violence to be peaceful is counterproductive.We need to anchor non-violence + community care w/convictions for every officer that hasn’t been charged in police murders nationwide. #TyreNichols #keenananderson #sandrabland

Today, eyes watered as Evelyn Graham-Nyaasi of @ccitnyc described an encounter with law enforcement that could have ended her life. If we pass #DanielsLaw NYers will be met with compassion & care in moments of crisis & need. #DanielsLawSavesLives

Today marks one year since Rochester Police officers restrained #DanielPrude, which later led to his death. Here's a look back at his daughter Tashyra Prude's emotional response to the incident.

.@GOPLeader doesn't have the votes! We're in a good mood.
