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/...

This Wednesday at 4:30pm we’re at Red Hook Library (Van Brunt) breaking down the realities of “gangs” policing + how it impacts our communities. Led by Youth Represent’s Youth Committee. Tap in. #erasethedatabase

Jarrett Payne’s courage and clarity have shaped this work from day one. His voice reminds us why documenting what happens at protests isn’t optional, it’s essential. www.protesttestimonyproject.org @nyclu.org @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org

Check out the PTP project to learn more about your protest policing rights!

Micaela Martinez has been a critical voice in pushing this work forward, naming what our communities have lived, and insisting it be documented. @nyclu.org @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @psc-cuny.org protesttestimonyproject.org #protesttestimonyproject

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

The NYPD’s gang database doesn’t protect us—it profiles us. Even after “reforms,” 98% of people listed are Black or Latino. Real safety means investment, not surveillance. Pass Intro 798 #EraseTheDatabase #Intro798 @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @stopspyingny.bsky.social www.naacpldf.org/press-releas...

The City Council must act—abolish the database and pass Intro 798.

98% of those listed are Black or Latino. No parents were notified when minors were added. Officers still access sealed records.

The NYPD Inspector General’s new report confirms what communities have said for years: the NYPD’s “gang database” is beyond repair. #erasethedatabase

NYPD impunity is killing New Yorkers. At least 9 people have died in NYPD custody this year after being denied care. #NYPDAccountability

Excited to be part of this podcast project from the Thurgood Marshall Institute in support of the @gangscoalition.bsky.social. tminstituteldf.org/gang-policin...

Gang databases target thousands of young Black and Brown people with no due process. In Gang Policing: The Truth Revealed, LDF’s Thurgood Marshall Institute exposes the truth. tminstituteldf.org/gang-policin... #erasethedatabase

"NYPD headcount is not a panacea. More money or more officers does not automatically make New Yorkers safer – the truth is much more challenging and less politically convenient." Responding to report that crime rates do not correlate to NYPD headcount:

Shoutout to our coalitions leaders for their work and advocacy advancing this narrative! #erasethedatabase

This week’s main story is about gang databases, how they’re made, how they’re being used, and why we all love to take a little peek at someone else’s screen. Phone on the subway, laptop in a coffee shop, computer in a cop car, you name it – if we can see it, we’re peekin’.
