Vera has joined more than 120 organizations in calling on #NewYork State leaders to fight for communities in danger from the Trump administration’s ongoing, cruel attacks. Join us in calling for strong leadership and bold action: https://t.co/r0dHvMNQsW

[Release Aging People in Prison Campaign @RAPPcampaign]

We joined 120+ orgs in a letter calling for bold action in NY against the undemocratic Trump admin.

Albany must:
✅Protect immigrant New Yorkers
✅Defend the rights of trans people to live openly and securely
✅Secure our right to protest
And much more: https://t.co/8c2gjqBq2H

[#JustPay | The Health & Housing Consortium @hhconsortiumnyc]

Our communities are in danger from the Trump admin - yet Albany has been too quiet. We’re calling out their inaction.

Tell state lawmakers that we need strong leadership amid the barrage of attacks against trans people, immigrants, govt workers, and more. https://t.co/f5A0NuJxKl

[NYCLU (Find us on Bluesky) @NYCLU]

URGENT: Have you seen bold leadership from Albany in response to the Trump administration’s attacks on immigrants, trans people, free speech, and more?

Neither have we. Please call your representatives to inquire about #WhereIsAlbany?

In New York State, it’s illegal to threaten to report someone's immigration status as a form of coercion or extortion.

Here’s what to do if someone is threatening to share your immigration status 🧵(1/9):

🚨 CALL TO ACTION 🚨

We need YOUR voice to pass the NY4ALL Act, which would bar local law enforcement from colluding with ICE and Customer and Border Patrol ! 📞 Join the NY4All Coalition in calling the NYS Legislature to urge them to pass this crucial legislation NOW!

Is this why prosecutors want discovery rollbacks included in the budget? So they can share evidence with filmmakers and politicians before the defense gets to see it?

The Trump Administration wants to undo generations of progress in addressing racial discrimination against Black people.

No matter what, we will always fight for a version of “We the People” that includes everyone.

NEW: Since the state banned abortion, the rate of sepsis and deaths during childbirth have skyrocketed in Texas.

🗣️ Abortion is essential medical care. Banning it is killing Texans.

It's lost on no one that this decision comes as the culture of violence and dehumanization at NY state prisons is under renewed scrutiny after the brutal murder of Robert Brooks.

DOCCS is not above the law. They must rescind their decision, now.

The Department of Corrections and Community Supervision will temporarily suspend elements of New York's HALT Act in its correctional facilities amid ongoing strikes and protests staged by correction officers across the state. https://t.co/9LH141XRU8

[New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) @thenyic]

Immigrants are NYC. They are the people who rise before dawn, who pay taxes, who keep NYC alive—they deserve better than being served up for political games. ❌

This reported plan is extremely concerning.

People on parole and supervised release have the right to travel without fearing they'll be harassed, searched, and followed by parole officers. They should be welcomed back into society, not made to feel like second-class citizens.

[NYCLU (Find us on Bluesky) @NYCLU]

Sam Nordquist should still be alive today.

This horrific, heartbreaking killing comes at a time of heightened nationwide attacks against trans people led by a federal administration hellbent on erasing trans existence.

Black trans lives matter. Trans people will not be erased.

In today’s world, no one receives, provides, or helps others access health care without leaving a digital trail. New Yorkers often think this info is protected, but the scary truth is it’s not.

The New York Health Information Privacy Act will change that:

Neither Elon Musk nor hostile statehouses should know when someone in #NYS last ovulated or logged their period on an app.

That’s why Gov. Hochul must sign my bill protecting #NYers commercial health data.

Marsha P. Johnson spent her life advocating for LGBTQ people of color, LGBTQ youth experiencing homelessness, and people living with HIV + AIDS. She was a trailblazer for the trans community.

Even if you try to take the 'T' out of 'LGBT' - trans people aren't going anywhere.

Marsha P. Johnson would like a word.

The creation of a new unit within Rikers that may violate a law banning solitary confinement adds to long-standing concerns of violence + inhumane treatment at the jail.

Rikers is broken. The City should focus on complying with the timeline to close it.

2/ Clearly the Mayor needs a reminder: Crime in NYC is down, and there was never any evidence that immigrants caused a surge in crime.

Adams needs to end his shameful flirtation w/ ICE + come clean about what promises he’s been making behind closed doors.

Our full statement:

[NYCLU (Find us on Bluesky) @NYCLU]

1/ Today Mayor Adams conceded to Trump + his Border Czar, announcing he will allow ICE on Rikers Island. The Mayor has turned his back on NYers for Trump + his own self-interest.

Allowing ICE on Rikers serves no legitimate purpose+ opens the door to violating our sanctuary laws.
