Hi everyone!
Thank you all for joining in on the push to repeal 50-a, and supporting the Safer New York Act.
Tirelessly, hundreds of thousands have been calling on the NYS legislature to pass the entire Safer NY Act, including a full repeal of 50-a with no attempts at modification. This bill went to legislation today and we should have an answer by the end of the week. I have a meeting on Thursday for a detailed update on this so I'll keep you posted!
The public's response and mobilization on this has never before been seen by our legislatures, and I cannot thank you enough for raising your voice.
Raising awareness around our laws is paramount to change. There are 22 other states with laws (loopholes) similar to 50-a and I encourage you to also take a look at your state, and join the fight there too.
I believe strongly in the power of people to create change, and again, I thank you for your support!
Lastly, read Communities United for Police Reform’s Press Release on the Intro of NY Legislation to End Police Secrecy and the Safer NY Act proposals here.
Stay safe, & much love.
Best,
Steph
