@CaltransHQ the situation on southbound IH15 is frightening! We’ve been sitting in this for 3.5 hrs w no end in sight. No access to food, water, gas, cars breaking down, no warnings to avoid. Who’s in charge here? This is insane!
Today, I asked the Court to vacate 857 open bench warrants related to prostitution and loitering for the purposes of prostitution – charges my Office no longer prosecutes. https://t.co/uBI6MudNnz (1/4)
I was devastated when the #WalkingWhileTrans ban repeal failed in 2019. 2 years later NY passed a stronger law that seals priors. I’m a puddle of tears and couldn’t be prouder of @TS_Candii @BianeyDlaO & the Black & brown trans & GNC folx that led this fight. THIS IS YOUR VICTORY
#BREAKING: The NYS Senate and Assembly just passed legislation to repeal New York's discriminatory, racist, sexist, and transphobic #WalkingWhileTran statute. @NYGovCuomo must sign this bill at once! Cc: @eipnyc
For over four decades PL 240.37 has allowed police in New York State to profile, harass and arrest Black and brown transgender women only for existing
Today we thank @bradhoylman & @AmyPaulin for ending this discriminatory practice, & our community for fighting w us!
Today is a historic day! By repealing the #WalkingWhileTrans Ban, our trans sisters will be able to walk freely all across New York State without the fear of being Stopped & Frisked based on their gender identity!
This is a big step towards justice, & the fight for liberation
Statement from #LeighLatimer, Supervising Attorney of @eipnyc at Legal Aid:
"The NYPD must take a critical look at how its practice of policing sex work has led to corruption and sexual misconduct within its Vice squads."

Repealing the loitering for prostitution law IS a women's issue, a race issue, and a police violence issue. @NYSenateDems@RachelMayNY@AnnaMKaplan pass S2253/A654 now! https://t.co/dB4xIlRJra
