ITP V.020 SOCIAL JUSTICE: U.S.A. HOUSE AND SENATE DEMOCRATS INTRODUCE POLICE REFORM BILL

U.S. house and Senate Democrats have introduced a sweeping police reform bill that require body and dashboard cameras, ban chokeholds and ban no knock warrants in drug cases.




In New York, U.S.A.,  senate bill has been introduced a bill to repeal law 50-A. Law 50-A does not allow police misconduct to go public.

Also, to pass the STAT ACT. 



NEW YORK: FULLY REPEAL LAW 50 -A and PASS POLICE STAT ACT:

Thank you to all of the many organizers of tonight's rally & march for Black Lives, and the thousands of community members who came out. It was a tremendous coalition and community effort with so many people from so many places stepping up and organizing to make our collective demands for police accountability and decarceration at the local, state and national level.
A critical next step (one of many): We must call on state legislators to end police secrecy! State leaders must fully repeal 50-a, the New York State law that allows police departments to hide misconduct and discipline away from the public, and pass the Police STAT Act to increase transparency and accountability.

FROM HRC (HUMAN RIGHTS CAMPAIGN):

Pride Month recognizes the contributions of Black and Brown trans women in resisting police brutality-- the bedrock on which our movement was founded. We remember it as a breakthrough moment when we refused to accept humiliation and fear as the price of living fully, freely, and authentically. Our communities, however, are still targeted for being ourselves. The continuous failure to hold police accountable for misconduct, abuse, and violence must end now.

This week the New York legislature will reconvene to discuss passing a police accountability package. HRC needs your help in urging lawmakers to include and pass a critical piece of legislation (A654/S2253) in that package. A654/S2253 (Paulin/Hoylman) would repeal New York State’s Loitering for the Purpose of Prostitution law, also known as the #WalkingWhileTrans ban, which has resulted in widespread police profiling, unjust arrests, police harassment, and police violence—particularly in LGBTQ communities, immigrants communities, and Black and Latinx communities.

Now, more than ever, we need the New York State Legislature to repeal laws that enable profiling, police harassment, sexual violence, and other forms of police violence against Black and Brown communities, and pass measures that hold law enforcement officers accountable. Take action NOW. Email Senate and Assembly leadership and urge them to include and pass A654/S2253 in the police accountability package.

For Tony McDade, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor,
