Shout out to @jabaribrisport for introducing #right2remainsilent at a recent Youth Forum on Policing in Brownsville. We're slowly getting the word out for youth to be read up on their rights and also empowered to have a voice in shaping legislation!
Let's go!!! #right2remainsilent passed the Senate & Assembly Children and Families Committee! Big shoutout to Jabari Brisport , Senator Jamaal T. Bailey & Andrew Hevesi for their support!
Since passing Raise the Age, 90% of Westchester youth charged with felonies had their cases moved to Family Court or were given probation. It encourages us that one day #right2remainsilent will be passed so that 100% of all youth have their Miranda rights protected.

Let's work to get a full 100% of all young people to invoke their right to counsel. With passing #right2remainsilent , this can be a reality!
The campaign to #closerikers continues. We have the opportunity to better fund alternatives to incarceration, job readiness support, education and youth services by reinvesting the dollars we use on Rikers.
