Join Jews for Racial and Economic Justice and our allies in Communities United for Police Reform at City Hall to build power and momentum towards the passage of the Right to Know Act–a pivotal legislative package that aims to protect the civil and human rights of New Yorkers while promoting communication, transparency and accountability in everyday interactions between the NYPD and the public. Maintaining a highly visible & organized presence at City Hall before every City Council Stated meeting is an important way to build momentum to pass these critical police reforms. Join JFREJ for a great opportunity to champion our message and make our growing movement felt — and one of the few moments to engage a majority of the Council at one time.

Location:

New York City Hall
