RIGHT NOW: We're outside the Brooklyn Supreme Court demanding that @GovKathyHocul replace one of New York's worst judges & end the practice of rubber-stamping judges to new terms.

Justice Del Giudice has one of the worst records on excessive sentencing of all active judges.

THREAD: Did you know that 87% of those paying for prison communication are WOMEN, and disproportionately Black and brown women?

Governor Kathy Hochul, we know gender equity is important to you, can the women of New York depend on you to make prison communication free in this budget?

PSA: There’s a tuition-free Bard MicroCollege inside the Brooklyn Public Library at Grand Army Plaza & ADMISSIONS ARE NOW OPEN!

Thanks you Hannah Kliger & CBS New York for covering this amazing story. cbsloc.al/43HjK0G

🚨 Urgent Call to #CloseRikers ! 🚨

As part of NYC Jails Action Coalition (JAC), we've witnessed the injustices at Rikers Island. NYC operates the most over-staffed and over-funded jail system in the country. Yet, conditions remain dire—lack of basic necessities, excessive force, and lives lost. 🧵

Over half the population in NYC Dept of Correction has a mental health concern.

NYC spends over $1500 per day to incarcerate one person.

How much is health insurance?
How much is therapy?
How much is vocational training?
How much is housing?

NYers need Treatment NOT Jail.

People released from incarceration are a staggering 42X more likely to die from overdose in the 2 weeks following their release when compared to the general population. Visit treatmentnotjail.com/take-action to urge our legislators to PASS TreatmentNotJailNY to do something about this & SAVE LIVES.

Board of Correction meeting from 2/13 is rescheduled for 2/28 at 9:30am.

Join us at 8:45 am

We will rally prior to the hearing for diversion in the courts, daily human rights, and the accountability for providing minimum standards at all times.

New York City rejects such harmful practices.

'We’re horrified by the vigilante assault of a Bronx resident live on Fox News.'
