Join us at @brooklynlaw tomorrow for this conversation with @profhuq, organized by BLS students from @BLPECollective! @lpe_nyc
Today’s social movements are meeting the existential crises of our time with vision, scale, and infrastructure. They reflect a growing sense that neoliberal law and politics have failed the majority. Join us for a discussion tomorrow. Time: 5pm-6:30PM ALL ARE WELCOME.

New #WeDeserveToBeSafe report shows that NYers in heavily policed neighborhoods want and need a different approach to community safety that invests in community resources—not more policing & criminalization—and holds NYPD accountable for abuse. https://t.co/VUxdqLEa6M

I'm learning so much from this @LPEblog @MovementLawLab symposium. Like when I got to this moment in today's post: "what better way to subjugate people to a specific political and economic order than to dismantle networks of solidarity between individuals and communities?"

Very misleading, by Mayor Adams. The cop AND 3 civilians shot & injured *by NYPD*. 1 bystander reportedly shot in the head. Injuries are from cops shooting recklessly on crowded subway, in pursuit of someone they say didn't pay $2.90 fare. These NYPD actions make us less safe.
Earlier today, one of our officers was shot while protecting our subway system. I am relieved to report he is in good condition now, and we have arrested the suspect who put so many lives in danger. I cannot thank these officers enough for their bravery.

https://t.co/ilAs4uDCbb I have some thoughts on the conspiracy trials of #YoungThug and the #StopCopCity protestors….

Conspiracy represents the immense sweep and racialized harms of the American criminal system in particularly stark form. Yet it remains widely used by prosecutors...

Thank you @dnbrgr for this beautiful review of my & @orisanmi's books! "Yesterday’s tactics are unlikely to secure tomorrow’s victories. The past offers an orientation, not an instruction manual, and successful struggle often requires an improvisational response to the moment."
In reviews, @dnbrgr reviews @orisanmi’s Tip of the Spear and @j_simonson’s Radical Acts of Justice, bringing together an account of prison revolts and their aftermaths and the recent wave of anticarceral organizing. An extremely useful, clarifying piece.

Free & open to the public with RSVP! for a preview of the book, check out this excerpt in @_inquest_ :

Participatory defense gives families and communities an opportunity to protect their own in courtroom spaces that have long robbed them of power.
