. @cmlauriecumbo are you willing to publicly state your commitment to vote NO on the NYC budget if it doesn’t cut at least $1 Billion from the NYPD agency budget and if the budget doesn’t redirect $2 Billion into communities? #DefundTheNYPD
.@NYCMayor @NYCSpeakerCoJo @NYCCouncil: I support #NYCBudgetJustice. Will you commit to #DefundNYPD by at least $1B in FY21, not over the next few years, & redirect monies to non-police programs & services for Black, Latinx & other communities hit hardest by COVID-19?
THREAD: Today, I voted aye to #Repeal50A for all of the families who have lost their loved ones to police brutality, for the thousands of NYers who have taken to the streets and have said enough is enough and because it is the right thing to do. (1/9)

*Activists and Legislators:* Here’s a thread of MEANINGFUL legislation that has been proposed and, in some cases, passed in cities and states to address police violence. Consider passing legislation like this in your community, too. (1/x)
If you or someone you know are arrested in BROOKLYN as part of this uprising, call (240) 531-1971 to speak to an attorney.
Anywhere in NYC can call Good Call to be connected with an attorney at (833) 346-6322.
Write the # on your arm. Don’t talk to cops. Know your rights:
In this thread, I want to focus on policing in New York and what we can do legislatively. Passing laws are only part of the solution, but it is part I was elected to do and will give everything I have to see it through. Below are some bills and context (4/15)
SAR scholar, Omar Mohammed, on the importance of asking questions, and why he started @MosulEye to preserve and protect the history and population of Mosul, despite the risks.
Lots of folks have gone through @KamalaHarris’s record to challenge whether she’s a “progressive prosecutor.” I argue that the problem was becoming a prosecutor in the first place.
A bill becomes a law! With the stroke of @NYGovCuomo's pen, the Reproductive Health Act is the law of the land, protecting a woman's right to make crucial decisions about her own body.
Cried happy tears when the #RHA passed! It's about time New York passed progressive reproductive health legislation and protected a woman's right to choose.
