Election Day is TOMORROW! Remember to vote NO on Props 2-6 to defend local #NYC democracy & checks-&-balances. @NYCMayor is counting on us not knowing these proposals are misleading & confusing – don't be fooled by his deceptive ballot descriptions. #Nix2Through6 @NoPowerGrabNYC

Props 2-6 are a dangerous move by Mayor Adams to give himself more unchecked power, weaken checks-&-balances & make it harder for the city to deliver for New Yorkers. Made your plans to vote yet? Find your #ElectionDay poll site here: findmypollsite.vote.nyc #NIX2through6

Researchers are delving deeper into the effects of ShotSpotter on policing practices. While the technology has led to increased evidence collection, studies show it hasn't translated into higher rates of solved shootings or reduced gun violence. undark.org/2024/08/07/second…

A reminder that floodwaters can carry a lot of pollutants, such as sewage from overflowing sewerage or septic systems, and industrial wastes and chemicals. So, please don't. 😬

#MikeBrown was killed 10 years ago today. And the police immediately disparaged his name. You probably remember seeing "the convenience store video" but you didn't see *all* of the footage. It's time to reopen the case. reopenthecase.com

Finally!
BREAKING: A court ruled that prominent civil rights activist DeRay McKesson is not legally responsible for injuries inflicted by someone else at a protest he had organized. This is a major win for our right to protest.

Last week we filed an amicus brief in the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania explaining that #ShotSpotter alerts alone are not reasonable suspicion to even briefly detain someone. aclu.org/cases/commonwealth-… The ACLU continues to challenge tech that over-polices.
