Justice doesn’t end at the march. It continues with how protest is policed, documented, and remembered.
Today we launched a new platform where New Yorkers can get education on protest rights and more. Explore the platform: www.protesttestimonyproject.org

While this settlement applies to the NYPD, we are also interested in documenting experiences that involved coordination or overlap with other agencies, including ICE and the National Guard. Community testimony fuels accountability and protection.

Testimony is a form of power. By documenting what we witness, we turn those stories into accountability. #ProtestTestimonyProject

Knowledge is community power.
Our workshops break down the NYPD protest-policing settlement into real, usable tools for educators, advocates, and New Yorkers.

“There’s a difference between people masking to protect against disease, more safely exercise their First Amendment rights, or follow religious practices, and agents masking to terrorize immigrant communities in secret on behalf of the government," said NYCLU Senior Policy Counsel Allie Bohm.

From Canal Street to Sunset Park, the message is the same: #HandsOffNYC.

New Yorkers will always step up when ICE tries to kidnap and abuse the rights of our neighbors.
