“LAW ENFORCEMENT IS NOT PUBLIC SAFETY” - Jules H

#Right2RemainSilent has passed the Senate Children & Families Committee!!

Next stop: Senate Codes Committee. Thank you to NYS Senator Jabari Brisport for moving the bill through committee and to Senator @JamaalTBailey for being our steadfast champion in the New York State Senate.

ON THIS DAY 61 yrs ago the US Supreme Court decided in favor of Gideon, guaranteeing that people charged with a crime have a lawyer.

This year in #NYS , we need to pass #Right2RemainSilent so that all young people actually speak to a lawyer whenever they are questioned by police.

TOMORROW we will support ing our community members testifying at the City Council's public safety committee executive budget hearing.

Join us now at City Hall for our weekly in-person press briefing. twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

The Gathering, along with allies, vehemently denounce the Gov's five-point plan to militarize NYC’s subways and improperly target vulnerable populations. We urge Governor Kathy Hochul reconsider this approach and embrace community-driven solutions that prioritize safety for all.

Today we remember Breonna Taylor. Though Louisville banned no-knock warrants, the fight isn't over. The Gathering for Justice is committed to holding police accountable & dismantling systemic racism.

New York City was given a nearly 8 year window to close Rikers, a facility rife with human rights abuses.

Kicking the can down the road is not an option. Lives are at risk as long as Rikers remains open. The city must comply with the mandated deadline.

Rather than #FireJonathanRivera for killing #AllanFeliz , NYPD has been delaying and obstructing discipline for years and is considering taking the case from NYC CCRB. Today we’re at City Hall, on what would’ve been Allan's 36th bday, demanding Justice!

Yesterday, on what would have been his 97th birthday, a vibrant celebration of life was held at the iconic Riverside Church in New York City to honor the legendary singer, actor, civil rights activist, and our founder, the late great Harry Belafonte.

It's been over 4 years since Lt. Jonathan Rivera shot and killed #AllanFeliz & nine months since NYC CCRB substantiated fireable charges against him. The NYPD still has NOT served the charges. Unacceptable! Come out on 3/2 to demand Mayor Eric Adams Edward A. Caban #FireJonathanRivera .
