We cannot, under any circumstances let random white people think they can play judge,jury, and executioners for any Black person they deem unworthy of life. #JordanNeely

[Jews for Racial & Economic Justice Action @JFREJNYC]

We're downtown, at Bwy-Lafayette to mourn the violent death of #JordanNeely. He was strangled — the city's & mayor's failure to provide real, essential care to NYers are also responsible for killing him.

Jordan should be alive right now, with food to eat & a safe place to sleep.

This week, the NYPD touted its increased presence on subways, days after it announced that all subway cars would be fitted with surveillance cameras by 2025. 

Here’s what CPR spokesperson @DarianX__, lead campaign organizer with @BKMovement has to say about that… 🧵

[The Nexus of Privacy @NexusOfPrivacy]

The NYC subway surveillance camera story got a lot of attention, and it's interesting to see whose views get quoted. For example, Black Star News quotes @DarianX__ of @changethenypd and @BKMovement

"That theory came into being about 40 years ago. It’s been studied extensively across the country, and it’s time and time again been proven not to be effective," - @MollyGriffard.

The #MRTA will expunge certain convictions for cannabis-related offenses, potentially clearing the criminal records of tens of thousands of New Yorkers, including 19 individuals currently serving state prison terms. Their release must be prioritized.

NYPD’s Strategic Response Group “is a symbol of the hyper-aggressive, militarized, unaccountable police violence in New York City, but that’s not exclusive to the SRG” @JooHyun_Kang @changethenypd https://t.co/ttDbZdSWpK

Young people demand #PoliceFreeSchools! Students want to go to school to learn, not to be treated like suspects.

Community Organizer for Health & Safety Darian X stood with youth activists as they rallied for funding for guidance counselors and support in the wake of a pandemic.

[Communities United for Police Reform @changethenypd]

Our youth calls on @NYCMayor & @NYCCouncil to:
- Cancel the 475 new hires
- Center the leadership & needs of youth
- Create a plan to remove policing & security measures
out of schools.

What can sitting elected officials do to push for meaningful police reform? NYC Public Advocate @JumaaneWilliams joins #TheBriefing today to discuss.

[Darian @DarianX__]

But thanks.. I’m sorry this is very weird and public. But thank you. For teaching me music can save my life. I don’t know if you knew what that meant to me then. I don’t think I did at 9 either tbh lol. But you are appreciated and valued. Your labor meant something, still does.

[Darian @DarianX__]

@flagrentjd_e This is so amazing, I’ve searched all over NYC to find you again Mr.Duncan. It must be eons an million students ago for you. But learning violin (& cello) from you at PS315 changed my life.

[Darian @DarianX__]

I’ve literally spent a good portion of my life trying to find you to say thanks. My plan was to come to your school and say it in person but alas the world we are in doesn’t provide that luxury any more.
