Accountability is not negotiable. Every person harmed by state violence deserves their day in court. Thank you @wright4harlem @SenatorMyrie

.@SenatorMyrie has never shied away from the fights that matter most to New Yorkers.

We're grateful he stood with us yesterday to call for an end to qualified immunity because true public safety requires true accountability.

Thank you, Senator Myrie.

Brooklyn showing up for accountability.

🙏🏾 Thank you to @stefanizinerman for lending her voice and her platform to the fight to end qualified immunity in New York State.

We are grateful for legislators who understand that police accountability is community safety.

Grateful for @SenatorRJackson showing up and standing firm for New Yorkers who have been failed by a system that shields officials from accountability.

When legislators lead with courage, change becomes possible.

Thank you, Senator. ✊🏾

Cuomo and Melissa DeRosa walked free from the nursing home deaths lawsuit. Not because they were innocent. Because of qualified immunity.

The Supreme Court just refused to take the case.

We're in Albany today to make sure it never closes again.

A new report from @nysfocus details how New York State Police are collaborating with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under the banner of “public safety,” raising urgent questions about transparency and accountability.

Hochul’s current language would provide a legal shield for federal agents that undermines accountability and betrays the intent of expanding civil rights protections in New York.

Kathy Hochul’s proposed budget would create a new state pathway to sue federal officials while simultaneously codifying qualified immunity into New York law for the first time.

#AlexReinart Professor of Litigation & Advocacy at @CardozoLaw made clear that the Governor’s proposed budget language creates the appearance of accountability while preserving the very legal shield that has denied families justice for decades.

[End Qualified Immunity in NY @endqiny]

NYS @SenatorRJackson urging @GovKathyHochul and state legislators to reject any immigration framework that writes qualified immunity into New York law or weakens the New York for All Act.

Thank you @nycpa 🙏🏾

[Office of the Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams @nycpa]

We agree with the Governor that New Yorkers should be able to sue ICE for their abuse of power.

Yet her proposal to enable this has a fatal flaw that sets New Yorkers up to lose.

New Yorkers deserve a law that actually lets people sue when they are harmed, not one that protects officials from consequences. If Albany is serious about justice, the bill must open the courthouse doors, not quietly close them.

@SenMarkey @AyannaPressley @RepDanGoldman @RepSwalwell  Take action NOW: Send a letter to Albany demanding they fix the bill and eliminate qualified immunity.

It takes 30 seconds. Make your voice heard.

🚨 Governor Hochul and Senator Myrie want to let New Yorkers sue ICE.

We share their goal of holding ICE accountable. But their bill has a fatal flaw: it guarantees ICE will win.

Here's why. 🧵 (1/8)

[End Qualified Immunity in NY @endqiny]

@SenMarkey @AyannaPressley @RepDanGoldman @RepSwalwell If you can sue but you can't win, that's not accountability.

That's theater.

70+ civil rights organizations are calling on Governor Hochul and Senator Myrie to fix the bill. Eliminate qualified immunity.
