Students across the country this week are getting a good lesson in law vs. policy. What makes something good law does not necessarily make it good policy. For example, universities are within their legal rights, under the First Amendment, to set rules on when and where students…
Incredible. To be clear, Rice - who was largely deferential to the NYPD throughout her term - is now fired for accurately stating that the NYPD withheld evidence in the Kawaski Trawick case, a simple statement of fact. There will be NO criticism of NYPD in Adams' administration.
This is a jaw dropping story. NYC’s attorneys, obligated to report settlements and judgments against the NYPD, failed to report $1.2 billion in payouts over a 10 year period. Approximately half of the total payouts during that period. cityandstateny.com/policy/2024/04…
Universities have a long tradition of student advocacy and engagement, where viewpoints are tested and difficult debate is encouraged. But Columbia and NYU sending the police after their own students and faculty members only serves to chill expression + intimidate people.
Prisons and jails are the most-sued parties under the Adult Survivors Act. Now, we're working with a coalition seeking to permanently allow people to file lawsuits after they are free from the custody of people who abused them. Read more about this crisis: gothamist.com/news/late-nigh…

This week, advocates from across New York State came together in Albany for a historic End Qualified Immunity Advocacy Day! #EndQualifiedImmunityNY
"Immigrants who exercise their first amendment rights are routinely subject to retaliation, including detention if they were not already in custody, deportation, solitary confinement, inability to access what they have right to, use of force, etc." @anngarcia___ of @NIPNLG
The Legal Aid Society Prisoners' Rights Project (NYC) is hiring a supervising attorney. Come be my supervisor! recruiting.adp.com/srccar/public/…
It’s time to #EndQualifiedImmunity in New York State! I am proud to co-sponsor A710 which ends the defense of qualified immunity for public officials when they violate an individuals constitutional rights. This is about holding people accountable.
I joined families & advocates from @endqiny urging colleagues to support S182, providing NYers transparency, accountability & justice. Qualified immunity obstructs justice & erodes trust, shielding wrongdoing. Let's create a world of equal justice for all. #EndQualifiedImmunity
New York: Join us along with @endqiny in urging your lawmakers to pass S182/A710 to #EndQualifiedImmunity. Call your legislator now 518-818-6910 and tell them it's time to safeguard our civil rights and hold law enforcement accountable for misconduct. bit.ly/4aCHllX
"Law enforcement officers are not above the law when they violate the trust and rights of the public they are put in place to serve. They should be held accountable, not shielded when they commit misconduct." We're rallying to #EndQualifiedImmunity: naacpldf.org/press-release/…
The NYPD must release the names of all the officers involved in the killing of Win Rozario.
The NYPD must release the names of all the officers involved in the killing of Win Rozario.
“Win Rozario’s mother Eva Costa was hugging him after he was tased — not trying to remove the device — she and her surviving son said. … ‘My son had a little mental problem, but the police weren’t listening to us,’ said Win’s father Francis Rozario.” nydailynews.com/2024/03/27/nyp…
Wow. @nysfocus predicted that Adams would contract with this company -- which overpromises and whose tech has, historically, been a mess -- two years ago. Experts foresee false alerts, commuting delays, more contact with police. nysfocus.com/2022/05/10/evo…

Another New Yorker in mental distress seeking help has been killed by the NYPD. Our full statement here: changethenypd.org/releases/commu… The NYPD must be removed from mental health response & the killers of #WinzinzentRozaro & too many others in mental distress must be fired.
Winzinzent Rozaro was 19 years old. He reportedly called 911 for help. Instead, police officers - who were not mental health professionals - killed him while he was in a mental health crisis. Reaching out for support should not have fatal consequences. nydailynews.com/2024/03/27/nyp…
“We want justice. My son was innocent. My son had a little mental problem, but the police weren’t listening to us,” said Win’s father. Details from the teen’s family thanks to @NYDailyNews and Kerry Burke: nydailynews.com/2024/03/27/nyp…
BREAKING: Police shot and killed 19-year-old Winzinzent Rozaro this afternoon in Queens. He called 911 himself while in a "mental crisis." He was standing in the kitchen with his mother.

Jury duty is pivotal to democracy, but outdated laws exclude many New Yorkers. The Jury of Our Peers Act is more than legislation; it's a step towards restoring faith in our legal system and ensuring every voice is heard. I support this piece of legislation.
The world is watching Columbia University and the administration’s shameful decision to call the NYPD on its own student body. Suppressing free speech and student protest will not address antisemitism or make us safer.
Prisons and jails are the most-sued parties under the Adult Survivors Act. Now, we're working with a coalition seeking to permanently allow people to file lawsuits after they are free from the custody of people who abused them. Read more about this crisis: gothamist.com/news/late-nigh…
