“Liberty in Motion: Our Watershed Moment” Planting the Seeds for Real Police Reform & Accountability

Date: May 01st

New York must fundamentally transform the role of policing in our state. It is up to us all to envision and advocate for community safety that starts with reducing reliance on police in mental health crisis response, increasing transparency as a means for accountability, and reducing unnecessary police encounters. Join us for the third installation of four in our annual town hall series, “Liberty in Motion: Our Watershed Moment” to learn about the policies that will ensure all New Yorkers are treated equitably and to learn what you can do to help stop abusive policing. Topics will include mental health crisis response, digital privacy, pretextual stops, protest, and local police reform.

“Liberty in Motion: Our Watershed Moment” is a four-part Town Hall Series centering conversation on the action we can take to protect and promote equity in our own communities faced with unprecedented threats. Throughout the series, Arlo Fleischer, Organizer of the Nassau County New York Civil Liberties Union will facilitate local and statewide advocacy and policy panelists many of whom have lived experience and are experts in their field. The series is co-hosted by the Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock.
