Programs for people incarcerated at Rikers Island help reduce violence and recidivism, pave the way for brighter futures post-incarceration and foster safer communities. These essential programs face elimination in NINE DAYS.
@NYCMayor - restore Rikers Island programs now!
Isaiah Wong’s new head coach is Rick Carlisle, Pacers. I recruited and coached Rick 39 years ago at UVa. 😃👍
Jordan Miller is now with the LA Clippers and my son Jay, is his new assistant coach.
All in the family.
😃😃😃
Jordan Miller
Pick 4️⃣8️⃣ to the @LAClippers
Isaiah Wong
Pick 5️⃣5️⃣ to the @Pacers
It's the fourth time ever that 2️⃣ Canes have been selected in the NBA Draft.
Tell @NYCMayor & @NYCCouncil we need them to take steps NOW to deliver on the legal & moral obligation to #CloseRikers by funding supportive housing & alternatives to incarceration to scale, and by investing in community well-being in this year's budget: https://t.co/CMfT9X5WyL
CLEAN SLATE: We'll be live tweeting today as #CleanSlateNY comes to the floor for a vote in the Assembly and the Senate. THIS. IS. IT.
Follow here for updates.
Richard's experience of being taken by Oswego police and funneled to ICE is one of many reasons we must pass #NY4All. Collusion between police and ICE is a violation of human rights, and legislators must take action now to support immigrant New Yorkers.

Black & Latine families are least likely to know their rights when CPS knocks on their door. To be true leaders for racial justice, @AndreaSCousins & @CarlHeastie must ensure that all families are treated equally under the law. Tell them that we need #FamilyMirandaNOW
With increased access to counsel, privileged families are likely to already know their legal rights.
It is Black, Latine, & low-income families who will continue to be deprived of this information if NY doesn't pass the Family Miranda Rights Act (A1980/S901).
We're fighting to demand lawmakers pass #CleanSlateNY and stand with millions of NYers haunted by their old conviction records. Use this tool to contact your representatives over and over again to tell them NOW is the time to end perpetual punishment: https://t.co/6TdtUp6nnY
“When in life do you want Americans not to know their rights? The only time you need them not to know their rights is when their rights are about to be violated.” - @AM_AndrewHevesi
New York MUST pass the Family Miranda Rights Act (A.1980/S.901)

The only reason Miranda for Families is a debate is because it will PROTECT the vulnerable population of people who are taken advantage of daily by not knowing their rights.
Former foster youth protesting. They’re RAGING about the mistreatment of foster children. They’ve been raped, molested, physically & emotionally abused & ignored. They’re homeless and tired of the lies. CPS doesn’t PROTECT ANYONE but themselves. https://t.co/eae51Z51Yh
