Another out of control @NYCMayor official claiming to be a press secretary for the Adams administration assaults a highly respected community leader Dr. Mariam Singh at Gracie Mansion today, snatches & tosses away her phone when she tries to record the harassing encounter.

Thank you to Council Members who fought & will fight for investments in the health & safety or our communities, and opposed Eric Adams' reckless cuts, criminalization & cruelty. It's clear that if @NYCCouncil was taking a vote confidence in Eric Adams, it would be resounding no.

STATEMENT from the Campaign to #CloseRikers on the FY2024 budget. We need long overdue investments in supportive housing, treatment & more to reduce incarceration, and #GetRikersClosed - but the Mayor wants to fund DOC's bloated workforce. #CareNotCriminalization

"#Rikers is not serving our city, and it’s certainly not serving people with mental health conditions. But we know what would, and when we have the means to provide it, doing anything else is both foolish and immoral." Marcos Barrio & JJ Parish @MHPUJC citylimits.org/2023/06/29/opi…

We're in Albany today w/advocates from across the state to say NO to @GovKathyHochul's plan to subject more ppl to pre-trial incarceration. NYers know better - churning people thru deadly jails bc they can't pay for their freedom isn't safety, and it isn't justice. #CloseRikers
#HALTsolitary — Go to bit.ly/EndSolitaryNY@NYCAIC

Getting Started: The budget is late because the Governor wants to send more Black and brown people to deadly jails. Community members and the Black, Puerto Rican, Hispanic & Asian Legislative Conference are rallying to protect communities and protect the bail and discovery laws.

NYPD cops shoot, critically injure man having 'medical episode' in Bronx gothamist.com/news/nypd-cops… via @gothamist: #NYPD shoots another NYer in psychiatric crisis. Must stop sending cops to deal with such emergencies. Send mental health professionals instead. SAVE LIVES, NOT TAKE THEM.

The Lawyer is in: NYCDS Attorney Casey Dalporto is taking questions about bail. Gov. Hochul's proposal will only lead to more pretrial incarceration, leading to more death on Rikers. True public safety = investment in communities.

This is a photo of Raul and Santo de la Cruz. Yesterday, Santo dialed 311 to summon help for his son Raul, a man experiencing both homelessness and a mental health crisis. The city dispatched police, who, after a 28-second interaction, shot Raul. He is now in critical care.🧵

Housing discrimination is not part of a person’s sentence. If you believe everyone should be able to access housing after they’ve served their time, tell your Council Member now: fairchancehousing.org/take-action #FairChanceForHousing

A conviction history should NOT be a life sentence. Every New Yorker deserves a home, regardless of their past. It’s time for NYC to pass #FairChanceForHousing
