We're NYC library workers against police presence in libraries. Have you experienced policing in libraries in NYC? Let us know! [email protected]
On April 6, tell the NYC City Council that cops should NOT be involved in mental health checks. on.nyc.gov/3u6844V
With @MADatCU, we have launched a survey for all NYC college students and faculty to share their thoughts on campus police, the NYPD and resources on their campus. Link to form here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…
we're doing this cool project working with teens to create memes about privacy and surveillance. we can offer volunteer service hours or small gift card stipends as a ~thank you~. if you're an interested teen, come to our next info session!
Thanks @TeenVogue for this and for the shoutout. Under-resourced communities are policed disproportionately in libraries. Libraries are some of the last public spaces for folks to go, and we are constantly telling certain people they don’t belong. That’s fucking bullshit.
In cities like Los Angeles, activists are working to end contracts between local police forces and public libraries. tnvge.co/biyOdcQ
