"Though politicians capitalize on public fear to convince us that extra policing and surveillance are what make us safer, we know that isn’t true," writes Sadia Saba of @Common_Justice. bit.ly/40eVYbh

Two-thirds of New Yorkers don’t even know that Mayor Adams is trying to change the city charter to grab more power. Today we’re out across the city to make sure New Yorkers know and urge them to vote NO on props 2-6. #Nix2through6 #NoPowerGrabNYC

TAKE ACTION: The 2024 legislative session is almost over. Go to bit.ly/CNCNY & tell your lawmakers we need #CommunitiesNotCages to:
❌ ELIMINATE MANDATORY MINIMUMS
❌ END EXTREME SENTENCING
✅ SUPPORT TRANSFORMATION
❤️ And bring our loved ones home!

Just days after the 4 year anniversary of Daniel Prude's killing, NYPD took another life while responding to a call for help. A mental health crisis should not be a death sentence. We must develop a non-police emergency response system like @DanielsLaw_NY nydailynews.com/2024/03/27/n…

In the New York Times, former NY Parole Commissioner Barbara Treen writes that lawmakers should pass Elder Parole and Fair & Timely Parole to address the crisis of aging & death in prison and bring home mentors & leaders in the fight against gun violence, overdose, and more.

Mayor Adams’s budget is a recipe for keeping Rikers open, cutting funding for alternatives to incarceration, housing, healthcare, education, employment, and youth services. JOIN US at 9am on March 8th at City Hall to Rally for a Close Rikers Budget. bit.ly/close-rikers-budget

For decades, New York's racist and unjust sentencing laws have stolen loved ones from our communities and homes.
This Valentine's Day, we share stories from powerful couples that remind us that love and safety are nurtured by #CommunitiesNotCages.

"Fair Access to Victim Compensation in New York"
- @freedomrideblog speaks with Kira Shepherd and Tanvier Peart of @common_justice, on this week's edition of Black Agenda Radio: blackagendareport.com/fair-a…
Common Justice retweeted
We join with @Common_Justice @NYAGV1 and the entire coalition calling on @GovKathyHochul to sign the Fair Access to Victim Compensation bill into law and remove barriers to healing resources.

Safe Horizon’s @PolenbergM at today’s press conference hosted by @Common_Justice to call for FAVC to be signed now!
Common Justice retweeted
@GovKathyHochul, it's time New York listens to survivors. Sign the FAVC Act NOW to remove unnecessary barriers to victims' resources that block many Black and Brown New Yorkers from the funds they need to re-build their lives in the aftermath of violence. #FairAccess
Common Justice retweeted
Over 50% of violent crimes go unreported each year. Police reporting requirements for victim compensation prevents countless survivors from accessing funds. @govkathyhochul could change that by passing the FAVC Act – ask her to sign it TODAY bit.ly/favcpetition #FairAccess
Common Justice retweeted
We’re outside @GovKathyHochul’s NYC office with @Common_Justice demanding that she sign the Fair Access to Victim Compensation Act NOW! We can’t wait any longer to fight for survivors and disrupt cycles of violence.

Since @NYCMayor took office 22 people have died in city jails. Until Rikers is closed, the federal courts must appoint a receiver to address the longstanding issues plaguing city jails. #CloseRikers
Take action here by contacting your City Councilmember: katal.info/receiver
