Elected Officials, Families of New Yorkers Killed by Police, and Community Groups Rally To Demand Mayor Adams Sign NYPD Transparency Legislation Into Law
Today, nearly one month since the City Council passed the How Many Stops Act (HMSA) with a veto-proof majority vote, families of New Yorkers killed by the NYPD, community groups, advocates, and bill lead sponsors Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, Councilmember Alexa Aviles along with Councilmember Chi Ossé rallied together to demand Mayor Adams sign HMSA into law. HMSA is common sense good government legislation that will bring critical transparency to the NYPD’s most common police actions in our communities. It is also endorsed by both the Black Latino Asian Caucus and the Progressive Caucus, 100+ organizations across the city, and 28 family members of New Yorkers killed by the NYPD.
