New York, NY - Today, the families of Antonio Williams and Allan Feliz (New Yorkers killed by NYPD in 2019), Communities United for Police Reform member and partners, Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, City Councilmembers Alexa Avilés and Crystal Hudson, NYC Comptroller Brad Lander, other elected officials and New Yorkers from across the city rallied at City Hall Park to demand passage of the How Many Stops Act. 

CPR spokesperson Sala Cyril (she/her) responds to Mayor Eric Adams' annual State of the City address:

“Mayor Adams’ State of the City once again demonstrates that he cares more about touting policies that neglect to meaningfully address issues of safety and sustainable recovery for New Yorkers than he does about actually centering the expressed needs of our communities. Since the start of his administration, Black, Latinx, and other communities of color have demanded an end to discriminatory policing and accountability for NYPD abuses that include a reduction in the scope and budget of the NYPD.
