The State Senate must fight for #TheCourtNYDeserves and reject Judge Laura Ward's nomination. Judge Ward's 27-year judicial record shows she is wrong for New Yorkers. @bradhoylman and @AndreaSCousins, we call on you to lead the Senate in opposing this harmful nomination.
In celebration of #NationalPublicDefenseDay and #WomensHistoryMonth, we sat down for a special Q&A with the two-person strong team heading up LAS’s Women’s Pretrial Release Initiative, a unit within our Decarceration Project.

“We know for a fact that pretrial incarceration, by destabilizing people and families, does not make us safer.” - @TheRealLatriceW
Thank you for speaking on the success of bail reform as it continues to advance community safety, limit recidivism, and reunite NY families.
BREAKING: The New York State legislature released a budget bill that includes changes to weaken bail reform laws.
Our statement: "We call on all lawmakers of conscience to vote no on any budget bill that weakens the civil rights protections in our state’s bail law.”
We were proud to rally and march for workers who have been excluded from labor protections and opportunity today. We need workers’ rights for ALL!

New #OpEd from @twylajcarter, @SenatorMyrie and @HarveyforNY: End New York's prison slavery system
"It is time for New York to turn the page and fulfill the promise of abolition. We must amend our constitution to outlaw slavery — including forced labor."
