The #GrantsPass case should serve as an important reminder to our New York leaders Mayor Eric Adams Eric Adams & Governor Kathy Hochul that real change comes from compassionate policy, not political scapegoating. #HomelessnessIsSolveable

We’re here today at Supreme Court. Nice-sized crowd. #GrantsPass National Homelessness Law Center

As the Supreme Court considers Johnson v. #GrantsPass today, remember how recently DC bulldozed a homeless encampment while a human being screamed for help inside it.  

We’ll be with Poor People's Campaign on the steps this morning.

STATEMENT on Governor Kathy Hochul's failed housing deal:

'If lawmakers, tenants, and people experiencing homelessness from upstate & downstate think this housing deal is bad, it doesn’t make it a good compromise — it makes it bad policy.'

Daily News ed board re Eric Adams/NYPD decision to not fire cops who killed #KawaskiTrawick : NYPD 'seems allergic to anything resembling accountability...w/commissioners refusing to impose even slap-on-the-wrist punishments for documented violations' nydailynews.com/2024/04/16/abo…

UPDATE: At least 3.4 million renters would be excluded from Governor Kathy Hochul's #GoodCause , based on new data from JustFix and City Limits

Governor Kathy Hochul believes that 3.4 million NY tenants don’t deserve basic protections. housingjusticeforall.org/new-at-least-3…

Suspending & arresting Columbia University/Barnard College student activists & disbanding student orgs — including Jewish students & orgs — doesn’t combat antisemitism or increase safety.

All it does is punish and intimidate those who believe in human rights for Palestinians. Shameful.

Thank you.

What's frustrating is that we said this would happen and we're assured it would not.

“I am Tiffany Caban, City Council Member of D22, but more importantly I am a Queer Brown person with a mental health diagnosis” - Tiffany Cabán. #KawaskiTrawick was a 33-year-old Black Queer New Yorker who was killed by NYPD officers while in a mental health crisis.

I’m honored to serve with Alexa Avilés & Mercedes Narcisse who had the vision to hold today’s important and unprecedented hearing on the specific & unique experiences of Black Migrants. Over 1,000 people showed up at City Hall, and what a beautiful sight it is to see!!

The #Right2RemainSilent Act would help prevent NY youth from making false confessions by providing a lawyer before an interrogation.

🚨Edward A. Caban’s decision to shield the officers who murdered Kawaski Trawick from any consequences whatsoever is shameful, and releasing that decision at 5PM last Friday is a mark of absolute cowardice.

My statement along with my LGBTQIA+ caucus co-Chair Erik Bottcher:

For far too long the call for housing, work, health & support services for Black migrants have gone unheard.

Today, 1000+ Black immigrants and advocacy orgs like ACT showed up at NY City Hall to amplify their voices and make their concerns heard!

We’re in the middle of a housing crisis across New York.

Evictions were up 200% in 2023.

New Yorkers need a housing deal that keeps them in their homes—they need Good Cause, not new loopholes for landlords to raise the rent.

Our Organizing Dir Jawanza James Williams | He, Him| 🌹 spoke with Spectrum News NY1 following NYPD Commissioner Caban’s calculated late evening announcement refusing to #FireThompsonAndDavis for the 2019 killing of #KawaskiTrawick .

Were it not for leadership of orgs like Justice Committee NYPD corruption goes unchecked.

Today marks 5 years since NYPD killed #KawaskiTrawick , a Black gay man who came to NYC to dance.

Late Friday, news broke that the cops who killed him wouldn't be fired, not even a slap on the wrist. Join us in rage. #Shame on Mayor Eric Adams & NYPD.

Tmrw will mark 5 years since Kawaski Trawick was gunned down in his home by NYPD, killed in 112 seconds.

Late Fri, news broke that the cops won't be fired - not even a slap on the wrist. 1 was allowed to RETIRE.

Mad? Join 1 of the actions
