The #HowManyStopsAct, which goes into effect this week, was won as a result of years of organizing by affected communities (including families who have lost loved ones to NYPD violence) and advocates.

Last week, participants in Queens Defenders' Emerging Leaders Program joined activists across the State in calling on lawmakers to pass the #TreatmentNotJails Act.

We join justice orgs across NY to call on legislators to pass #CommunitiesNotCages, which will:
❌ ELIMINATE MANDATORY MINIMUMS
❌ END EXTREME SENTENCING
✅ SUPPORT TRANSFORMATION
❤️ And bring our moms & kids home!

Let lawmakers know you support CNC at http://bit.ly/CNCNY

This #MothersDay join Mothers across New York in advocating for young New Yorkers to have the same rights as every American -- the right to an attorney when being questioned by the police.
