PROTECT BAIL AND DISCOVERY REFORM. Stop Governor Hochul from sending more Black, brown and low-income New Yorkers to jail without a trial. Contact your legislators now: https://t.co/IQRB1T913l

Jail populations are ballooning. Jail deaths have skyrocketed. Democratic supermajorities' response? Send MORE people to jail without a trial & for LONGER?

@SenatorBrisport will you reject any budget that weakens bail & discovery laws to send more people to deadly jails?

Saheed’s neighbor and family member says Saheed had mental health needs. He committed no crime. These cops didn’t even ask a question -- they just shot him. The Vassell family, we are all so upset. Lee Zeldin needs to take that add down.

[Scott Paltrowitz @ScottPaltrowitz]

Getting started: The family of Saheed Vassell is holding a press conference to demand Lee Zeldin take down his racist, dishonest ad. The NYPD killed Saheed in 2018. Zeldin’s ad uses Saheed’s final moments to falsely perpetuate racist fearmongering. His family wants it taken down.

[Scott Paltrowitz @ScottPaltrowitz]

Council Member Restler says this ad js race-bating, this is racist. I am profoundly upset by the harm caused to Saheed’s family. Lee Zeldin is using his senseless murder by the NYPD for racist fearmongering.

In solidarity with Californians in solitary confinement who went on hunger strike a decade ago and people still in solitary now, I am fasting for 24 hours to urge @GavinNewsom to uphold basic human rights by signing the Mandela Act and finally ending prolonged solitary.

11 people have DIED in NYC jails in the last 9 months. People are being locked in solitary confinement in showers. People are being denied food and medical care. Today we joined @JailsAction outside @NYCMayor's house to say ENOUGH. #DecarcerateNow #FreeThemAll #EndSolitaryNow

[#HALTsolitary — Go to bit.ly/EndSolitaryNY @NYCAIC]

Mayor de Blasio’s fake "ban" on solitary confinement leaves people locked alone in cells 23 hrs/day. This is still solitary! NYC Council must end it. Hundreds of civil rights and racial justice groups are urging the Council to act now. https://t.co/w6D2t20EwP

NOW: 1,000 New Yorkers have shut down the street in support of the Elder Parole and Fair & Timely Parole bills. Albany lawmakers have one more week to pass them before the end of their legislative session. We need #ParoleJusticeNY & we need it now, @CarlHeastie & @AndreaSCousins!

[Scott Paltrowitz @ScottPaltrowitz]

.@WalterTMosley we're holding a virtual advocacy day to #HALTsolitary & #FreeOurElders. Since we can't meet in Albany, we're reaching out here. T U for ur support. What are you doing to ensure HALT & Elder Parole are passed before session ends to save lives & slow COVID's spread?

No family, no human contact. No Netflix. Just four walls & a slot in the door for meager, inedible food. For years & decades. Solitary is exponentially worse than staying home, writes Jerome Wright. The legislature must reconvene remotely & pass HALT. https://t.co/lVXdZY1xvR

Please ⁦@NYGovCuomo⁩ & ⁦⁦@GavinNewsom⁩ show some compassion, do the right thing, and do what health experts are demanding: #LetThemGo #ClemencyCoast2Coast

Thinking about the deep physical + emotional deprivation that’s a part of this crisis. Miss hugging people? Going places? Sex? It may feel like so long since those last interactions..

Can you imagine that feeling in a cage? Many have before #COVID19. Now can we #HALTSolitary?
