Autonomous Brown Berets Of NYC

The Brown Berets were a group of Chicano/a activists who formed in the 1960s, standing for the liberation and the rights of Chicanos everywhere!

Today, we confronted @NYCMayor about the crisis at Rikers--21 people have died in NYC jails since he took office. NYers demand action! Reduce the jail population, shut down Rikers & invest in real safety: housing, health care, education, jobs. #CloseRikers #CutShutInvestNY

[Melanie @MelaDominguez_]

Our communities are under attack! @GovKathyHochul’s proposal to Gut Bail Reform is a blatant attack on Black & Brown NYers. In our rally today, you heard from our members & community groups, who are infuriated by her actions. This proposal will wreck efforts to shut down Rikers!

Thank you to The People’s Church & the @FEWCoalition for making today possible.

We helped nearly 20 families & individuals apply for the #ExcludedWorkersFund within 3hrs!

Shoutout to @katalcenter for flyering & discussing the #CloseRikers campaign to the East Harlem Community!

This is what hope looks like. This is what solidarity looks like. This is what courage looks like.

This group just arrived in St.Pul, after a prayerful 256-mile march from the Line 3 pipeline route.

They’re here at the Capitol to defend treaties. And they’re staying. #stopline3

The #LessIsMoreNY Bill has passed by both the NYS Assembly & Senate. It’s now up to @KathyHochul to #SignTheBill.

@NYSenBenjamin please help us get the rest of the way there! NYS has the opportunity to pass life changing legislation. Let’s get it done! https://t.co/LuHumWyTgP

@NYPDnews / @MTA ; ¡La pobreza no es un crimen!

Las multas y arrestos por no pagar $2.75 no mantiene a las personas “seguras”. Los trenes y autobuses deben ser GRATUITOS y estar controlados por la Ciudad, no por una entidad privada protegida por los policías… 1/3

@NYPDnews / @MTA; Poverty Is Not A Crime!

Ticketing & Arresting New Yorkers for not paying $2.75 does not keep people “safe”.

Subways & Buses should be FREE and controlled by the City not a private entity protected by City funded KKKops… 1/3

…Video 1: Arrest inside the 45th St (BK) subway station involving kids. Cops from the @NYPDnews 34th Transit District & the 72nd Precinct assaulted minors…. 2/3

Gov. Cuomo resigned today, and rightfully so. We stand with the brave women who, in the face of great personal risk, came forward to share their stories. It is through these stories that a historic change has come to New York.

Jeff Bezos could’ve given every one of the million Amazon warehouse employees $100K today & he would still be among the 10 wealthiest people in the world. $100K is >3x their average yearly salary. Instead he gave $100M each to ppl who are already rich as a PR stunt.

BREAKING: Activists have reclaimed a vacant commercial space in Brooklyn, NY with the intent of creating a community space “under collective control” and to “serve the community here forward.”

THE @NYPDnews & MTA MUST STOP CRIMINALIZING POVERTY!

The MTA received $4B in Fed Aid with the possibility of receiving another $10B+ in Fed Aid & Millions in State & City funding. Congestion Pricing is also expected to hand the MTA an additional $15B. #FreeFares #BoycottTheMTA

Our member Avion is quoted in the article saying, “This changes everything... We need due process. We need that safety net of due process. This bill is going to help people.”
