UTB stands with NYU Law SBA President Ryna Workman. As an org that examines power structures, we recognize that the doxxing, harassment, and public censure of Ryna Workman is part of a larger project of maintaining hegemony in the legal profession and silencing dissent.

Following up from yesterday, here is our full statement, done in conjunction with @_NJIBA_, about the changes to Question 26. The Appellate Division can't stop here and must remove Q26 in its entirety. https://t.co/OE0OEefpYu

Today we're releasing our Profile of the Profession report, which examines the demographics of the legal profession here in New York.

Today @NPR covered the discriminatory effects of the Character and Fitness inquiry. You'll hear UTB co-lead organizers @Asabi93 and @aljkbrooks and @_NJIBA_ founder @DieterTejada1. The profession must become more equitable and less classist and racist. https://t.co/DKteDisfKl

C&F must be abolished to stop the Ted Cruzes of the world from pulling the levers of oppression to keep liberatory minded people out of the legal space. It must be abolished to ensure true freedom of speech, which includes the right to loudly criticize the powerful.

📢Today, the NYS Courts announced the removal of some of the illegal portions of the Character & Fitness. This is the result of years of advocacy from directly-impacted people and allies. We have a long way to go to eliminate the discriminatory impacts of Q26 and the whole C&F.

People are suffering & dying in solitary confinement in jails, prisons & immigrant detention centers in California. The mental and physical health effects are often irreversible. @GavinNewsom you can change this torture, and change your legacy.

[Al Brooks @aljkbrooks]

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. #AB2632
