New York City: City Council Must Vote NO on New Jails

Thursday, October 17 - 10 a.m. to 12 noon

City Hall, Manhattan

Hosted by No New Jails NYC and DRUM - Desis Rising Up & Moving

In three days, City Council will vote on the Mayor's catastrophic plan to spend over $10 billion on 8-12 new jails. We'll be at City Hall all day, starting at 10am, this Thursday October 17. Join us! 10 AM: We will gather on the steps of city hall to ground ourselves in powerful abolitionist, transformative, community. We need you there. If you're able to join us, take off work, do phone zaps offline, please do! 10:40 AM: We will march! 11 AM Onwards: We will hold community care space in City Hall Park. Join us in Abolition Square: https://forms.gle/SwCpxaaPdfcaQMjo6 The consequences of Thursday's vote will resonate for generations. Just last week, de Blasio boasted that these jails would incarcerate our community members for a century to come.The Mayor has marshaled the usual forces against us in recent weeks: big foundations, complicit media outlets, and fellow jailer and City Council Speaker Corey Johnson. Meanwhile, grassroots organizations, movement elders, and other campaigns for liberation have shown up in droves to endorse and support No New Jails. The city and the Non-Profit Industrial Complex are desperately scrambling to secure their votes, and we are gaining ground every day. We need your support right now. Whether you've been out with us before, or haven't been able to come through yet, now is the time. A win on Thursday will be a historic step forward for New York City, and for everyone fighting for liberation and a future without cages.

This is a perfect example of how the media has sooooo much power through their power to IGNORE US!!! I’ve been watching @fox5ny all morning. Our rally to #closerikersnow with over 100 New Yorkers on the City Hall steps because 19 PEOPLE DIED WHILE AWAITING TRIAL gets 30 seconds and the @nypd @nypdpc blowing up evidence on a boat gets over 3 minutes? Should we put things (evidence) at a higher value than human beings’ lives and families? I guess so if you look 👀 a certain way (BLACK) #blacklivesmatter #revolutionary #revolutionwillnotbetelevised #spiritualawakening #newmusic #mediamogul #sciencefacts #blackhistory365 #blackhistorymonth #blackhistory #endmassincarceration #endgunviolence #endhomelessness #endwickedness #ny #nyc #newyork #newyorkcity #bronx #thebronx #brooklyn #harlem #manhattan #statenisland #longisland (at Brooklyn, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmJbaPHuzjR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Wearing camouflage because I'm really at war with my body, When I elevated my mind then the Spirit could wash me.

The worst part is that between the time I took this picture until I just posted this, another soul was lost at Rikers Island. Does anyone CARE??????? #closerikers #closerikersisland #closerikersnow #newyork #newyorkcity (at Madison Square Garden) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFvNCtOLJ8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Innocent until found dead in a Rikers Island cell floor. We can not live with the reality that my brothers and sisters are sentenced to a life of poverty, social neglect, poor schools and work opportunities and then sentenced to death on Rikers when we act out on our trauma. I'm standing up; will you?#blacklivesmatter #blackmindsmatter #closerikers #closerikersnow #closerikersisland #defundthepolice #politicalmemes #communityactivist #newyorkcity #endmassincarceration #endpolicebrutality #criminaljusticereform #standupforyourrights #standupforwhatsright #standupfightback (at New York, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmFuCNEuQeL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I am asking sincerely that you care about what happens to flesh-and-blood human beings like myself every day on Rikers Island. 34 Souls left their bodies over the past two years at the Island and it feels like nobody cares.
