I was proud to vote for the How Many Stops Act & #HALTSolitary -- and I’m proud to have voted to override the Mayor’s vetoes today.

These are critical criminal justice reform bills that will make our City more equitable and just.

Today is a historic day for New York City.

We're at New York City Council in support of the #FairChanceforHousing Act, #HALTSolitary , and the #HowManyStopsAct , which are huge steps for justice and equity in NYC.

Thanks to Errol Louis (@errol.louis on Threads) for having me on Inside City Hall yesterday to talk everything from #HALTsolitary to #HowManyStops to Mayor Eric Adams’s terrible approach to the budget.

Take a look, y’all:

Today I am proud to stand with my colleagues and friends to once again call to ⁦ #HALTsolitary , decarcerate, and close Rikers.

But I’m also sick and tired of having to fight and fight and keep fighting just to make sure our city does not maintain a torture site in my district.

'This is the Abu Ghraib of New York City.' - Jerome Wright, Co-Director of the #HALTsolitary Campaign, in response to Friday night's news dump 10/

GETTING STARTED: Survivors of solitary confinement, family members of people in solitary, and other advocates are rallying outside the office of Governor Kathy Hochul demanding she fully implement the #HALTsolitary Law.

🚨🚨🚨
William Johnstone, died on #rikers .
He's the sixth person to die in DOC custody this year.

More will die unless every elected official steps up and holds NYC DOC accountable in real time!

📢SAVE THE DATE📢

Closing Rikers by August 31, 2027 is the law. Mayor Adams must follow it. Listen to Victor Pate with #HALTsolitary tell how he'll feel when #Rikers closes, then join us to kick off the official countdown! bit.ly/rikerscountdown

#CloseRikers #GetRikersClosed

The #HALTSolitary Confinement Act, which I have worked on for over 10 years, must be implemented in complete accordance with the law, which is based on humane, equitable and sound public health and public safety principles. Anything less is unacceptable!

Jerome Wright served 30 years. Now he lives in Buffalo, co-leads the #HALTsolitary Campaign and runs a mentoring & reentry program in the community & local jail. He also develops pro-social anti-violence programs behind bars.

Excluded.

ICYMI: Mayor Eric Adams is pressuring New York City Council to flip on 2 bills he's vetoed: #HowManyStopsAct , requiring NYPD to report on L1 stops, & #HALTsolitary , ending solitary in NYC jails. Pack City Hall TODAY (btwn 10AM-2 PM) so New York City Council feels the pressure/support to override vetoes!

Fantastic news! Solitary confinement, which is disparately used against Black and brown people, is internationally recognized as a form of torture. #HALTsolitary
