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.
