Join family members of people who have died in New York State Prisons, formerly incarcerated community leaders, and members of the RAPP Campaign, #HALTSolitary Campaign, Jim Owles Liberal Democratic Club, Coalition for Women Prisoners, and the Parole Preparation Project to demand an end to racist violence behind bars.
Community leaders and advocates will gather for a virtual press conference to call on the legislature to address systemic racism and violence across New York’s criminal legal system, including in state prisons and local jails, by passing the HALT Solitary Confinement Act, Elder Parole, and Fair and Timely Parole, as well as legislation to help end police brutality on the streets.
