HAPPENING NOW: #Juneteenth action led by Black clergy to honor the life of George Floyd.
We demand @NYCSpeakerCoJo & @NYCMayor listen to New Yorkers and #DefundtheNYPD by 1 billion dollars *at least.*
No games. No shuffling $$. Cut the NYPD budget. Fund our communities.

The LGBT movement was founded by trans women of color. It’s #PrideMonth. We should be celebrating freedom for our trans siblings, not walking away from it. We must Repeal #WalkingWhileTrans ban now. Vote on, pass and sign it into law! @NYGovCuomo @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins
TY @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins for leadership & passing a historic package of police reform bills including the bill to #repeal50a, the #PoliceSTATAct & the #SpecialProsecutor bill.
@NYGovCuomo we are counting on you to sign these bills into law. #SaferNYAct
Yesterday @NYSenate & @NYSA_Majority passed the #PoliceSTATAct - a first step towards more police transparency.
Today they will be voting on #repeal50a & tomorrow the bill to codify/strengthen the #SpecialProsecutor. NYers are counting on them to pass both. #SaferNYAct

We must fight for the living. We cannot wait for the system to fix itself.

To all those contacting us about bailing out protesters in NY: here's how to do it.
In NYC: The bail fund to support those arrested in demonstrations is being held by our comrades at @FreeThemAll2020 - Venmo is bailoutnycmay
Please note: there are other bail funds in NYC that do regular bailouts but @FreeThemAll2020 is fund for demo support rn. 3/

We lost a member of the @BronxFreedom team today. Clinton was a centerpiece of our BFF community, a passionate advocate and an inspiration to so many. Support his beautiful family here: gofundme.com/f/vegj6v-washin…

Leaders must do everything possible to prevent incarcerated people and those who work in prisons from becoming ill and spreading #COVID19. @NYGovCuomo, it’s time for action.
Call your legislator! Tweet at your legislator!!! #NoRollbacks
🚨Bail rollbacks made it in the budget. These changes will result in more people being subjected to dangerous jail conditions (with or w/out a pandemic). IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO CALL YOUR SENATOR & ASSEMBLYMEMBER to demand they #voteno on bail reform changes openstates.org/find_your_leg…

Clarise McCants, @ColorOfChange Campaign Director: "I'm a mother & someone who's been impacted by incarceration. @NYGovCuomo can't go on TV and act like a hero by day and then go and lock up more Black and Brown people by night...Stop playing political chess with people's lives."
.@AkeemBrowderNYC on this travesty of a proposal: "this would have still condemned my brother Kalief to his experience. This would be a smack in Kalief and my mother's face."
This fight is NOT over. #NoRollbacks
🚨HAPPENING NOW: Emergency digital press conference to oppose @NYGovCuomo's proposal to rollback #NYBailReform through the state budget. #NoRollbacks

.@MARVINMAYFIELD7 we need this budget to focus on supporting our communities with public health, not locking people up!
.@ColorOfChange "Mass incarceration has ALWAYS been a public health crisis, and especially now during a pandemic. Now is the time to treat it, not exacerbate it. We need our electeds to do right by ALL New Yorkers." #NoRollbacks, not now, not ever.
.@MomsRising "NY jails were already steeped in a health crisis. Right now we must put the health and safety of NY's communities & families first. We must decarcerate and invest in families.
To @NYGovCuomo -- what will be your legacy? Will you allow people to die unnecessarily?"
"We need you, @NYGovCuomo, to take your promise seriously to stand with ALL New Yorkers. Remember the black and brown New Yorkers who are awaiting trial, awaiting clemency in our jails and prisons."
.@JustAskDonna @NYCLU "We must say #NoRollbacks to @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie & @NYGovCuomo. We must stop filling our jails with Black and Latino New Yorkers who are INNOCENT. We cannot go back to the way things were: the way things were was racist, unjust, & unfair." #StandUp
