On Friday, Jan. 14th, join CPR member VOCAL-NY as they continue the campaign to shine a light on the violence and abuse that is happening on our streets and in our states' jails and prisons and call on lawmakers to end qualified immunity, the near-total legal shield from civil liability (aka lawsuits) for government officials, especially the police, prosecutors, and corrections officers. It leaves victims and their families without justice. Let's end it!

Virtual: #NoNewNYPDGuns Social Media Storm
November 16, 2021, 12:00pm-2:00pm - CPR Member Event
Families of NYers killed by the NYPD are outraged by the NYPD’s plan to equip its officers with guns that have sensitive triggers that are easier to fire. This will not increase safety for New Yorkers or help the NYPD uphold the law. All it will do is make it easier for officers to play the role of judge, jury and executioner. This decision was also made without input from families of NYers killed by the NYPD, other police reform advocates, or the NYC public. In the interest of public safety, the families are calling on Mayor de Blasio and NYPD Commissioner Shea to immediately halt the use of these new firearms, which the NYPD has decided to first put in the hands of its newest recruits.
Join the Families on Tuesday, November 16 to demand Mayor de Blasio put a stop to the NYPD's plan to use the new easier-to-shoot guns.
