To state it simply: The Mayor’s veto is a choice to perpetuate cruelty. It dismisses the anguished cries from the families of Layleen Polanco, Brandon Rodriguez, Elijah Muhammad, Erick Tavira, and others who unjustly lost their lives in solitary confinement on Rikers Island. 🧵/1

Rikers is a humanitarian disaster, and solitary confinement has no place in a system where we urgently need reform. Mayor Adams is misguided in his veto of legislation passed banning this practice, and we must override his decision. My statement:

The How Many Stops Act - which overwhelmingly passed the New York City Council - will improve the lives of all New Yorkers by advancing NYPD transparency, helping to expose abusive and discriminatory conduct, and moving us closer to accountable policing.

Council Members joined community organizations and advocates this week to rally against the Administration’s 60-day shelter-stay rule, which would evict people seeking asylum, including families with children, from the city’s shelter system.

Eight months pregnant, asked for an extension on her shelter stay. Leaving the Row now for Roosevelt to reapply for emergency housing.

The Mayor must swiftly implement the CityFHEPS reforms passed with a veto proof majority in the Council. It will expand access to the City’s housing voucher program and reduce stress on the shelter system. It’s absolutely a concrete step in a long journey to address a a crisis.

Families will start being evicted from shelters tomorrow. Children will be uprooted from schools, asylum seekers will be left out in the cold. We rallied with a large coalition of advocates, attorneys, electeds and families to tell the Mayor we need more humane solutions now.

Racial disparities in maternal health outcomes remain glaring, underscoring the importance of urgent actions from all levels of government.
I’m encouraged by Governor Kathy Hochul’s focus on investing in solutions to ensure pregnant people, mothers, and infants are safe & supported.

Here's a copy of that cease and desist order issued today by NYSDOH to Mount Sinai Beth Israel.

The hospital could be subject to civil penalties of $2,000 per day if it continues to close beds or services without state approval, the department warns.

Solitary confinement is not correction.

Solitary is designated by the UN as torture, cruel and unusual punishment that harms communities.

In spite of rampant misinformation, today we use one loud, unified voice to say solitary has no place in our city.
