I saw many post about this #blackouttuesday is drowning out useful info about #blacklivesmatter and it’s counterproductive. People are encouraged to post useful infos instead. If you live in #washingtondc and haven’t requested your #absenteeballot, please go out and #vote today. Also, Governor Cuomo said he would sign a bill to #Repeal50A and end police secrecy. Use this online tool to contact your state legislators and demand they send a bill to his desk immediately. https://www.brooklynnaacp.org/repeal50a https://www.instagram.com/p/CA8BRT8hs-1/?igshid=1lcff11xz3f0z

New York City: Rise Up with the Families

Tuesday, June 9 - 5:00 p.m.

City Hall, Manhattan (Meet at Chambers and Park Row)

Hosted by Justice Committee (JC)

We stand in solidarity with the families of #GeorgeFloyd, #BreonnaTaylor, #TonyMcdade, and all those murdered by police. We are demanding: 1. The NYC Council: #DefundNYPD by at least $1billion this year, so many can go where our communities need. #NYCBudgetJustice. 2. The NYS Legislators: #repeal50a and pass the Bailey/Perry special prosecutor bill and the #PoliceStatAct immediately. 3. Mayor de Blasio and Commissioner Shea: #FireWayneIsaacs for killing Delrawn Small, ALL the officers who killed our loved ones, and those who have abused protesters and community members during social distancing enforcement. Rise up! March with us! We are the families of: #DelrawnSmall, #ShantelDavis, #SeanBell, #AnthonyBaez, #RamarleyGraham, #KimaniGray, #NoelPolanco, #AnthonyRosario, #HiltonVega, #JaysonTirado, #AntonioWilliams, #EricGarner, #MohamedBah, #KennyLazo, #SaheedVassell, #CarlosLopezJr., #AkaiGurley, #AmadouDiallo, #KawaskiTrawick, #KadeemTorres, & #CliffordGlover.

Police actions against peaceful protesters during this time have been horrific. People have been tear gassed, shot with rubber bullets, shoved to the ground, thrown, beaten with batons, driven into with SUVs, pepper sprayed, and more.

We should not live in a police state. The military should not be called in to further terrorize the people of this country. Curfews should not be used as a way to silence protest and encourage harassment, fines, and arrests.

The police need to be held accountable for their actions in the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, and many others. The continued use of unnecessary and often lethal violence, in addition to the targeting of black people by police around the country, must be stopped. There need to be strong legal ramifications put in place to prevent these actions from continuing to go on unpunished.

ACLU Southern California sent letters County and City of LA requesting that the Curfew Order be rescinded or substantially restricted as it is “neither authorized by state statutory law nor consistent with the United States Constitution, including the Constitution’s prohibition on restrictions of speech and assembly, its protection for freedom of movement, and its most basic notice requirements.”  It looks like their actions succeeded and Los Angeles County no longer has a curfew. Now hopefully other cities will follow their lead.

If you are a New Yorker- support the Safer NY Act and #repeal50A- both of which would increase accountability for officers who engage in misconduct in the NYPD.  Check out Change The NYPD for more info.

Also make sure to check out and support the actions of the NAACP, Black Lives Matter, and Equal Justice Initiative’s work for criminal justice reform.

Please help #Repeal50A, a New York law that shields police wrongdoing by hiding records of misconduct, complaints, and abuse. Help end the violence by taking action now: https://t.co/d9r0X4HMyO @NYGovCuomo @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie pic.twitter.com/xVP33NMHLU

Tonight, THOUSANDS of North Brooklyn residents gathered in McCarren Park to say #BlackLivesMatter, #DefundTheNYPD, & #Repeal50A. Our city needs to invest in services that build up our communities NOT ones that oppress us. pic.twitter.com/N2Dxzunrtr
