By a vote of 7-2, Rochester City Council has voted to adopt the strongest version of Good Cause eviction protections, the largest city in New York to opt into the law. Councilmembers Michael Patterson and LaShay Harris voted no.

"We want to see a fair map that respects the voting rights and electoral power of Nassau's communities of color and does not favor any political party," said NYCLU's Perry Grossman.

We'll be in court tomorrow to fight against voter disenfranchisement:

Trump has been clear about wanting to go after Title IX when he's back in office.

But it's important for parents + students to know that we have strong state protections in place, from the NY Human Rights Law to the recently passed Equal Rights Amendment:

One of the City Council’s progressive champions, @ShahanaFromBK, is being challenged for reelection by an opponent who is already collecting maxed-out checks from MAGA megadonors. I encourage you to support Shahana’s campaign here:

United States Capitol banned transgender women from using the women’s bathroom! My trans friends & I went to the Capitol & had a MEETING IN THE LADIES ROOM! 🏳️‍⚧️

Good. Police officers are not above the law – today’s decision from the DA makes that clear.

We need more of that police accountability.

No one is above the law - that includes elected officials.

The Rochester City Council is right to call for an independent investigation. The commission the Governor has referred DA Dooley to isn't even operational.

This is a job for the @NewYorkStateAG.

📣 Say it with us: Mental health crises require mental health expertise.

New York must fundamentally transform the role of policing in our state – and we must start by ending our over-reliance on police as first responders in every crisis. The time for #DanielsLaw is now.

Tonight at a protest in support of Palestine, the NYPD and its notoriously violent SRG turned up in droves, escalating a nonviolent march, throwing people to the ground and making several arrests.

The NYPD must not violently stifle the speech of concerned New Yorkers.

So proud of you, Shahana; and your consistent and impactful leadership ✨

With a new term comes new responsibilities in the Council. While I am sad to no longer lead our City’s Immigration Committee, I am proud of all the incredible work we did to uplift our immigrant communities and fight for our newest neighbors. A 🧵

So much respect for all the work that has happened within Tiffany’s team. It is inspiring to many of us up in Rochester to see all that has flourished under her leadership in NYC; and we know she’s going to continue to get the work done.

My statement on having been stripped of my committee chair, threaded below for accessibility.

[NYCLU (Find us on Bluesky) @NYCLU]

When our friends or neighbors are experiencing a mental health crisis, they should be treated with compassion and understanding – not cops and the threat of jail.

We must end our over-reliance on the police as first responders in every crisis. We must pass Daniel's Law.
