This week marks Freedom Agenda's 4-year anniversary as a member-led project organizing people and communities directly impacted by incarceration. Here's to building power and putting in the work to #decarcerate, #divest & #redistribute, protect our people inside, and #CLOSERIKERS

The bond these family members share is one that they never would have wished for, but they are using it this morning to demand change on their sons’ and brothers’ behalf #CloseRikers

Ahead of today’s Criminal Justice hearing, I stood with families from @FreedomAgendaNY as they rallied together in support of Intros 423 & 412.
These bills would provide loved ones with the respect they deserve by ensuring that they are notified when serious incidents occur.

Today we joined @FreedomAgendaNY and the @TPRCNY at a press conference to call for the passage of important legislation to increase transparency around Rikers' worst failures. Thank you to @SandyforCouncil and @MercedesNarciss for your work on this issue!

Today seems like a good day for a reminder that more than 80% of people at Rikers are *pretrial.* If the presumption of innocence truly existed for everyone, Rikers would be empty.
