🚚 Beep beep! We sent our truck around Albany to remind lawmakers that the New York for All Act is the best bill on the table to enact real, long lasting protections for immigrant New Yorkers. It’s time to pass this bill.

You can’t claim racial equity while backing tools that overpolice Black & Brown youth. The Gang Database doesn’t make us safer — it drives harm. We need investment, not surveillance. #Abolishthedatabase

Gang coalition workshop season in full effect! #abolishthedatabase

We’re hosting a virtual briefing on the harms of gang suppression policing—systems that continue to expand with little accountability while harming Black & Brown communities. Featuring Babe Howell, Victor Dempsey, Erica Ford Moderated by @alexvitale.bsky.social April 7, RSVP: linktr.ee/SER.psjp

Time and again the NYPD has shown that it cannot police itself. Opportunities for people to offer firsthand testimony of their protest experience are vital in tracking whether police are adhering to a 2023 protest settlement. That's where @ptpproject.bsky.social comes in 👇

This Sunday 3/1 at noon at Bailey's — a PTP Round Table. Free and open to the public. We're breaking down the NYPD protest settlement and hearing YOUR on-the-ground experiences with protest policing. Light refreshments provided. Come learn, come share. Sunday | 12PM | Bailey's

Legal Aid attorney Rigodis Appling, explains why the Protest Testimony Project matters — and how community voices turn lived experience into real impact. Follow @ptpproject.bsky.social for updates and join us at an upcoming roundtable workshop. Your testimony matters.

So much love to our coalition members who are leading this work at the state level as part of the Youth Justice Network.

Extra proud of these youth committee members who are not only showing up — but also leading our gangs advocacy with courage and vision. This is what youth-led justice looks like. 🖤🔥 #YJO #YouthAdvocacy

Tuesday, hundreds of young people from across the state and advocates showed up in Albany for Youth Justice Advocacy Day — meeting with lawmakers, sharing their stories, and pushing for real change. Advocating for YJO the Right to Remain silent bill, and the creation of a Youth Justice Fund.

Join us Sunday, January 25th at 6pm for our IG LIVE discussion on the Youth Justice & Opportunity Act.

Documentation drives change. Evidence creates accountability‼️ www.protesttestimonyproject.org

🚨 STATEMENT: NYIC Applauds Hochul’s Commitment to End State Collusion With ICE "We thank Gov. Hochul for committing to not using state resources for federal immigration enforcement, and New York For All is the comprehensive bill that will end collusion with ICE." @heyitsmurad.bsky.social

New Yorkers from across the state are joining today’s action for #NY4All. We’re here to demand that our leaders pass the New York for All Act to ensure our state resources are never used to disappear our neighbors.  See how else this bill can defend immigrant communities. ⬇️

🚨 BREAKING: 9 NY Congress members urge Albany to enact NY4All & Access to Representation Act @repyvetteclarke.bsky.social @repespaillat.bsky.social @repdangoldman.bsky.social @meeks.house.gov @meng.house.gov @nadler.house.gov @ocasio-cortez.house.gov @reppaultonko.bsky.social @velazquez.house.gov

We’re in Albany today fighting for every family that now has an empty space at the dinner table. For every NYer ripped from their family. For every family afraid that a traffic stop could lead to permanent separation from their loved ones. Enough is enough. Lawmakers must pass #NY4All now.

Proud to support @thenyic.bsky.social @immdef.bsky.social @maketheroadny.bsky.social in calling for the passage of NY4All! #ICEOUTNYC #abolishthedatabase

Nearly a decade ago, officer Wayne Isaacs gunned down unarmed #DelrawnSmall in front of his baby. Yet Isaacs is still employed by NYPD - he hasn't even faced a discipline trial - and Small’s family said their loss has been pushed to the margin. Read more @chriscarrega.bsky.social buff.ly/HEpQJzS

Surveillance is being weaponized against queer communities—from social media monitoring to bathroom stings to facial recognition. And it’s happening in NYC right now. Our latest blog breaks it all down + what we must demand from lawmakers. 🔗Read here: www.stopspying.org/latest-news/...

Reminder! Today at 12pm we will be having a public phonebanking session for Intro 798. Join us and help us abolish this database! naacpldf-org.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Protest is power. Your rights at demonstrations aren’t optional — they’re protected, and the NYPD’s response is now governed by new rules under the settlement. Here’s what that means for you on the ground. Learn more: protesttestimonyproject.org. @nyclu.org @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org

Justice doesn’t end at the march. It continues with how protest is policed, documented, and remembered. Today we launched a new platform where New Yorkers can get education on protest rights and more. Explore the platform: www.protesttestimonyproject.org @nyclu.org @legalaidnyc.bsky.social

9 years. 7 Commissioners. 2 Mayors. Still no justice. Officer Wayne Isaacs shot and killed unarmed father Delrawn Small. Now NYPD lawyers are trying to dismiss the case—days before his disciplinary trial. #JusticeForDelrawn #FireWayneIsaacs

The City Council must act. Call your Council Member and urge them to co-sponsor Intro 798 — the bill to abolish the Database and stop any replacement from being created. bit.ly/48MXUha #EraseTheDatabase #Intro798

Gang policing, we don’t need them, what we want is total freedom! NY1: Protesters call on city to abolish 'gang database' after new report ny1.com/nyc/all-boro... #erasethedatabase

Out w @gangscoalition.bsky.social calling for abolishing the NYPD Gang Database.

This evening, the @gangscoalition.bsky.social coalition rallies outside 1 Police Plaza to abolish the Gang Database

The data doesn’t lie. The NYPD’s “gang database” is 99% Black and Latino. We’re rallying Thursday, Oct. 23, 5PM @ One Police Plaza to call on City Council to pass #Intro798. Join us. #EraseTheDatabase

It’s official: the NYPD’s “gang database” is built on bias, not safety. The Inspector General’s new report proves it. Rally with us Oct 23, 5PM @ One Police Plaza to demand City Council pass #Intro798. #EraseTheDatabase @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @psjpbc.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Youth Justice Network out strong advocating for the passage of the Youth Justice and Opportunities Act and #righttoremainsilent Act outside of the Horizon detention facility in the Bronx! #erasethedatabase @indivisible.org @psjpbc.bsky.social

🚨EMERGENCY RALLY🚨 Come out and support our partners at @gangscoalition.bsky.social

"We are not the problem — we are under attack by systems that fail us, ignore us, or profit off our pain." The march will begin at 2:00 PM in front of Horizon Juvenile Center, moving to St. Mary’s Park for a youth-led speakout, resource fair, giveaways, and community activities.

Our Youth Committee will be leading a rally and march against the war on youth, demanding justice, resources, and real support instead of criminalization, neglect, and harm.

This is what democracy looks like!! @nyclu.org #nokings

Regardless of incremental reforms, true public safety can’t be built on discriminatory databases that trample on the rights and dignity of New Yorkers. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/nyregion/nypd-gang-database.html
