Subject: May 6 socially distant action in Yonkers for #HALTsolitary
Date: April 29, 2020 at 12:14:58 PM EDT
We are holding a series of socially-distant in-person actions, car actions, and virtual rally on May 6 at 10 am across the state to demand passage of the #HALTsolitary Confinement Act. One of the actions will be outside of Senate Majority Leader Stewart-Cousins’ Yonkers office (28 Wells Avenue, Building #3). I am wondering if you can help lead / be part of the Yonkers action and help recruit others to be part of it?
Please see the
flyer (pdf) and
flyer (jpg), and please register for the in-person action and/or the virtual rally here:
People are suffering and dying in solitary confinement, which is exacerbated by and exacerbating the spread of COVID-19 in prisons and jails. The legislature continues to have the votes to pass HALT and must reconvene remotely immediately and pass HALT now! (along with Elder Parole, Fair and Timely Parole, and other urgent priorities). On May 6, we currently have actions for HALT planned in Albany, Binghamton, the Bronx, Buffalo, Long Island, Rochester, and Yonkers, and will connect virtually with all the actions and other people across the state. We are looking for people who can be physically present in one of the locations, either outside in a socially distant way or in a car, as well as those who can join remotely.
