Pursuing Justice
Our so-called justice system is anything but. We work to reimagine community safety, hold police accountable, ensure a fair day in court, and protect jailed New Yorkers. We’re also fighting systemic inequities in order to protect New Yorkers’ health, economic security, and well-being.
By the Numbers
$29M
New Yorkers spend $29 million per day on the NYPD, the largest police department in the country, instead of on services that prevent crime.
1M
The NYPD stopped more than one million drivers and passengers in 2022. Ninety-percent of those searched and arrested in NYPD vehicle stops were Black or Latinx.
$12.6B
More than two million New Yorkers have a criminal record, costing them $12.6 billion in reduced earnings every year. We must reduce barriers to reintegrating into communities.
30%
Nearly a third of New York students attend school near a major roadway, forcing them to inhale dangerous toxins every day. Eighty-percent of these students are children of color.
