Queens Defenders is proud to be part of the Alliance to Protect Kalief’s Law. This past Monday we joined advocates across the state to call on Albany to protect discovery reform, because New York's discovery laws work!

NEW YORK'S DISCOVERY LAWS WORK!

Repealing NY discovery laws will not “reduce delays,” “streamline case processing” or “close loopholes,” as the Governor claims. Instead, it will gut #KaliefsLaw, leading to more wrongful convictions, coerced plea deals, and clogged courts.

We're in Albany calling on Governor Hochul to abandon the principles of #KaliefsLaw and roll back the landmark discovery reform done in 2019. The Governor claims that sharing evidence with New Yorkers undermines public safety, but that is dangerously wrong.

JOIN US: Thurs. @ 11am, we're rallying in NYC + Albany to demand an end to prison abuse. Guards have brutalized, sexually assaulted & killed Black and brown people in New York's prisons for decades. We demand basic rights for incarcerated people, real pathways to release & more.
