Every young person deserves to feel safe expressing their identity. Throughout the month, we'll be sharing resources to help them navigate this complex system.âŹď¸ bit.ly/3S6EpJX

Don't let them say there isn't enough time, with this diverse majority of reps behind these bills, there is nothing BUT time to get this done before 6/4. Pass #ParoleJustice, no more excuses, get these common sense bills over the finish line today. T/Y to my rep @LegMJShimsky
NEW: New York State is READY for Parole Justice! A majority of state lawmakers are calling for action to pass the Elder Parole and Fair & Timely Parole bills but time is running out! The legislative session ends on June 4. Demand a vote now.

The complaint details how agents have routinely ignored the legal requirements of reasonable suspicion and probable cause, instead carrying out stops and arrests driven by racial profiling and pressure to meet aggressive federal immigration arrest quotas.

This lawsuit seeks to challenge a pattern of unlawful enforcement that has put thousands of Latino, Black, and Brown New Yorkers at risk and undermined the constitutional rights of communities across our city and state.

#JabezChakraborty needed care - care his family tried to get multiple times. Instead, he was shot by NYPD in his own home.
âThe city has failed a family that has tried to make every right move.â -attorney Shanaz Chowdhury
Great article from @Gregbsmithnyc @THECITYNY

In the weeks before their son was shot by NYPD officers, the Chakraborty family did everything they could to get him treatment. They were forsaken at every turn.

Temporary rental assistance helps families todayâ but real housing stability means sustained funding and more vouchers to protect tenants at risk.
