Alex Vitale @avitale, professor of sociology @BrooklynCollege & world renown Public Safety expert breakdown on new Office of Community Safety! #nyc #911Reform #SafetyForAll #NYCCommunitySafety #SafeCommunities

My take of Mamdani’s Office of Community Safety. ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…

Very encouraging

@t_NYC @GreenGoesLeft I don't think so. It may be on YouTube, in which case you could ask for captioning.

@avitale @GreenGoesLeft Is there a transcript or text of this please

I will be on NY1's Inside City Hall tonight at 7pm and 11pm to discuss the launch of the new Office of Community Safety.

Mass homelessness, widespread food insecurity, millions without adequate healthcare, but sure another $200 billion for a pointless and self destructive war in the Middle East. cnbc.com/2026/03/19/heg…

My latest w Dana Rachlin.

A Black man just wanted to record cops doing their job—what he got instead was a face full of punches and a stack of bogus charges. atlantablackstar.com/2025/10/16/cop…

@GreenGoesLeft @glennEmartin @NYCMayor @dana_rachlin Yes

@glennEmartin @NYCMayor @avitale @dana_rachlin @avitale was this published before today’s disclosure that it’s not a real department and has only two staffers???

The @NYCMayor’s moonshot: A Department of Community Safety amny.com/opinion/mamdan… @avitale and @dana_rachlin

@Anthony31277490 @ogafroman Yes. Haven't followed as closely as I would like though.

@ogafroman Hahaha! Blessings Bro… From N.J. @avitale have you heard of this story?

My proooofs on the internet youtube.com/watch?v=HM8Ee6…

This alarming data is true — and it doesn't stop with courts. Disabled people are overrepresented in all interactions with the criminal legal system, and at all points, the system is failing them. 🧵

NYPD Still Illegally Stopping New Yorkers 12 Years After Court Ruling, Monitor Finds thecity.nyc/2026/02/26/nyp… via @THECITYNY So what's the plan @nycmayor @citycouncil @ericdinowitznyc @NYPDChiefOfDept ? @avitale @mullincorinna @gaijingirl2004 @paulinepark @equalityalec

Save the Date. On April 7th, 3-4:30PM ET we will hold our next Policy Briefing on Gang Suppression Policing w Erica Ford, Obi Afriyie, and Babe Howell. Register: linktr.ee/SER.psjp

The impunity of policing is a feature not a bug.

Great screening last night of @Sexworkfilm w @bostonswac and The Black Response

If we are serious about reducing gun violence, we should quit using police for every problem under the sun.
