It’s official: the NYPD’s “gang database” is built on bias, not safety. The Inspector General’s new report proves it.

Rally with us Oct 23, 5PM @ One Police Plaza to demand City Council pass #Intro798. #EraseTheDatabase @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @psjpbc.bsky.social @indivisible.org

Micaela Martinez has been a critical voice in pushing this work forward, naming what our communities have lived, and insisting it be documented.

Protest is power. Your rights at demonstrations aren’t optional — they’re protected, and the NYPD’s response is now governed by new rules under the settlement. Here’s what that means for you on the ground. Learn more: protesttestimonyproject.org.

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

9 years. 7 Commissioners. 2 Mayors. Still no justice.
Officer Wayne Isaacs shot and killed unarmed father Delrawn Small.

Now NYPD lawyers are trying to dismiss the case—days before his disciplinary trial.

Regardless of incremental reforms, true public safety can’t be built on discriminatory databases that trample on the rights and dignity of New Yorkers.

The NYPD’s gang database doesn’t protect us—it profiles us. Even after “reforms,” 98% of people listed are Black or Latino. Real safety means investment, not surveillance. Pass Intro 798 #EraseTheDatabase #Intro798 @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @stopspyingny.bsky.social
