Join community leaders of color for a virtual press conference ahead of the legislative hearing on COVID-19’s impact on communities of color. We and our partners will present new data showing the racially disparate harm that COVID-19 is inflicting on New Yorkers of Color in state prisons. We'll demand the legislature reconvene to pass emergency legislation to prevent further, racially disparate harm, and continue our calls for Governor Cuomo to grant mass clemencies to incarcerated New Yorkers, especially older people and those who are medically vulnerable.

Speakers include:

• formerly incarcerated people

• family members of people in prison

• public health experts

• representatives from community-based organizations

Join us to demand the legislature reconvene session to pass emergency legislation to prevent more harm on communities of color impacted by both prisons and COVID-19 and continue our calls for #ClemencyNow.
