We're calling DA Alvin Bragg today to demand he drop charges against Tracy McCarter. He repeated his support for #FreeTracy as a candidate...up until the moment he was elected. Call him today & tell him to live up to his word.

Statistics show criminalization disproportionately affects Black women, femmes and girls, women and girls of color, native, trans + GNC individuals, as well as immigrants. During Black History Month the only answer is abolition. #StandWithTracy#SurvivedAndPunished
It’s Black History Month and criminalized survivor Tracy McCarter is still fighting for freedom from a fundamentally anti-Black ‘justice’ system punishing her for survival. We call on @ManhattanDA@AlvinBraggNYC to #StandWithTracy and #DropHerCharges
While campaigning, @AlvinBraggNYC said he was against prosecuting survivors of domestic violence & that he stood with Tracy. Stay true to your word @ManhattanDA & use your discretion to #DropHerCharges & #StandWithTracy!
@ManhattanDA Alvin Bragg announced his commitment to reducing his office’s prosecution rate. We implore him to also stand by his support for criminalized survivor Tracy McCarter by dropping her charges! #DropHerCharges#StandWithTracy

The @projectnia resource this is based on, Attica Prison Uprising 101, "underscores that the struggles of those who lived & died at the hands of the state at Attica 50 years ago are not unlike those experienced in US prisons today:" https://t.co/WwVC38n6B6 https://t.co/a1xtyBt5Cu

BREAKING: @GovKathyHochul has signed the Less is More Act.
Statement from @ttgyal444: Hochul’s actions will go a long way towards addressing our state’s technical parole violation problem. However, more must be done before we declare victory on parole reform. #ParoleJusticeNY
This week, some of the people granted clemency in Cuomo's last days in office are coming home.
We welcome them home & urge @GovKathyHochul to grant more clemencies, reunite families, support parole justice, and use her power to end mass incarceration.
NEW: Gov. Kathy Hochul inherits a prison agency with a legacy of brutality & racism. 50 years after Attica, she can start by firing abusive officers, closing prisons where officers have killed people & passing the Elder Parole + Fair & Timely Parole bills. https://t.co/pJEI6cFVcn
and facing the same racism, brutality, slave labor conditions, and solitary confinement that people at Attica protested in 1971.
Join us and partners this Saturday, 1–4 pm in Foley Square as we remember Attica and continue the fight for liberation today. https://t.co/FrbOB0ua0v
