Representative Barbara Jordan said, "What the people want is very simple - they want an America as good as its promise." This is a national moment for change, and New York is going to lead the way.
New York, we're about doing. We're about action. We're about results. We have a moment where change is possible, and New York is going to seize that moment. Together, we not only flattened but bent the curve of the COVID pandemic, and we will likewise come together for much needed justice reform.
NY will lead the way, and we will pass the “Say Their Name” Reform Agenda:
-
Make police disciplinary records transparent. Ban 50-A.
-
Ban chokeholds.
-
Prohibit false race-based 911 reports and make them a crime.
-
The Attorney General must act as an independent prosecutor in police murders.
We do not have tolerance in New York for delayed justice. It’s time for equal education. It’s time for an anti-poverty agenda. It’s time for a national affordable housing plan.
We can focus the outrage and demand change.
Ever Upward,
Team Cuomo
