This week marks Freedom Agenda's 4-year anniversary as a member-led project organizing people and communities directly impacted by incarceration. Here's to building power and putting in the work to #decarcerate, #divest & #redistribute, protect our people inside, and #CLOSERIKERS

The bond these family members share is one that they never would have wished for, but they are using it this morning to demand change on their sons’ and brothers’ behalf #CloseRikers

[Council Member Sandy Nurse @CMSandyNurse]

Ahead of today’s Criminal Justice hearing, I stood with families from @FreedomAgendaNY as they rallied together in support of Intros 423 & 412.

These bills would provide loved ones with the respect they deserve by ensuring that they are notified when serious incidents occur.

[The Fortune Society @thefortunesoc]

Today we joined @FreedomAgendaNY and the @TPRCNY at a press conference to call for the passage of important legislation to increase transparency around Rikers' worst failures. Thank you to @SandyforCouncil and @MercedesNarciss for your work on this issue!

“NYC is v. happy to highlight our rights every June to attract tourists and capitalize on our liberation struggles, but then denies us our humanity upon arrest” -Mik Kinkead #intro625 #NYC #citycouncil

“100% of my #TGNCNBI clients at Rikers that have not been placed in gender aligned housing report facing physical violence, sexual violence or both… #intro625 needs to pass” - Natalie Fiorenzo with the TGNCNBI City TaskForce #gendersafetynow

[Freedom Agenda @FreedomAgendaNY]

Today seems like a good day for a reminder that more than 80% of people at Rikers are *pretrial.* If the presumption of innocence truly existed for everyone, Rikers would be empty.

Did you know that 75% of incarcerated transgender people surveyed report experiencing sexual violence by NY corrections officers?* Unacceptable.
