Black lives matter, and that includes Black LGBTQ lives at the intersection of multiple marginalized identities. As we witness the disturbing acts of subjugation, abuse and murder that George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, Tony McDade, Monika Diamond and so many other Black people continue to experience at the hands of law enforcement, we are committed to the ongoing effort of ending police brutality and the history of systemic racism that supports it. Join us as we take action to build a better future by ensuring that our community is protected and police are held accountable.

Take action now by joining our community partners:

Repeal the “Walking While Trans” Ban (S2253/A654)

For four decades, law enforcement has used this statute to target, harass, coerce into sexual acts and arrest cisgender and transgender women of color and gender-expansive people for how they dress, or for merely existing in public spaces.

Take Action

Divest from the NYPD and reinvest in our communities

For decades our cities, state and country have invested in and expanded the scope of policing, and neglected the institutions needed to help our communities become whole. Demand divestment from law enforcement and stronger investment in our communities: housing, care, social services and public education.

Take Action

Repeal 50-a and end police secrecy (Passed and signed into law)

50-a is a NY State statute that carves out unnecessary and harmful secrecy for police, fire and corrections. It is routinely used to shield police misconduct and failed police disciplinary processes from public view. A repeal of 50-a would provide much needed transparency on police misconduct and discipline in New York, and help address the systemic lack of accountability for officers who engage in misconduct.
