The City also UNANIMOUSLY voted in support of creating a civilian Deputy Chief of Staff for Public Safety. This position will aid the Mayor's office in discharging their oversight, budgetary, and disciplinary authorities and responsibilities.

Only took 4 hours, but we listened to 11 public commenters, made Ithaca an abortion sanctuary, accepted the RPS report and committed to a head of public safety, supported Starbucks union workers, moved forward on transportation alternative and farmers market grants, and lots more

Civilian oversight of police is not a radical proposal. NYC, Boston, & Nassau County are all examples of jurisdictions that have civilian commissioners. LA has a board of commissioners. I have been - and continue to be - unequivocally supportive of Ithaca embracing this model.

Two years ago today, George Floyd was murdered by Minneapolis police officers. President Biden is expected to sign an order later today that will “bolster police accountability,” but is limited in what it may achieve. From @washingtonpost ⬇️ washingtonpost.com/politics/…

ON THIS DAY: In 2020, George Floyd was killed. Floyd’s death, captured on video by a bystander, would lead to worldwide protests, and a reexamination of racism and policing in the U.S. abcn.ws/3Nz5nlT

Syracuse has the highest child poverty rate in the nation. This little boys trauma, the expense of three officers time, the anger and mistrust this creates. Unacceptable. There's a better way. Civilian Oversight, more unarmed responders for, and invest in young people.
3 armed Syracuse cops arrest a 10-year-old Black child for allegedly stealing a $1 bag of chips. Why does Ethan Couch go free after violently killing 4 people but a Black child gets arrested over a bag of chips? Reckless & disgusting white supremacy. xitter.cf/HunndoHefner/status/15…

Harvard Law School announced its new shield today, one that replaced the shield that honored the slave owners whose exploitation and violence started the law school. Contrary to the announcement, a working group did not replace the shield. Student activists did.

Emmett Till would have turned 80 today. His life was cut short by white supremacists when he was just 14 years old. Today violence against Black lives remains a national emergency that we must confront by changing our laws—including passing our Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act.
