As the NYS Legislature reconvenes, we are calling on Albany lawmakers to enact #Right2RemainSilent legislation to protect all young New Yorkers' Miranda Rights by providing an attorney before police interrogation. Cc: @NYGovCuomo

[ScAAN @ScientistAction]

New York law fails to protect children who can’t afford a lawyer during police interrogations, with over 90% waiving their right to remain silent. Albany must protect these children's right by passing #Right2RemainSilent legislation. Cc: @CarlHeastie
