What: Erase the Database Rally
When: Tuesday, July 27 at 11am
Where: 80 Maiden Lane, New York, NY 10038 (Outside the Inspector General's Office)
Train/Bus: 2/3/4/5/A/C/J/Z to Fulton St,
Background:
Please join family members, advocates and legal experts as we rally outside the Office of the NYPD Inspector General's Office to reignite our demand for thorough investigation of the NYPD's gang policing tactics, including its use of its gang database. Over four years ago, dozens of organizations demanded a probe of NYPD gang policing and the IG's Office so far not produced.
Other investigations in Chicago and California have revealed false entries and abuse by police. Black and brown communities in New York City must have accountability into how the police are racially targeting and surveilling entire neighborhoods based on who they know, where they live and even what colors they wear.
Audit the police department and #EraseTheDatabaseNYC
