While New York has led the way on reforming our drug laws and bail and discovery reform, there continues to be an epidemic of violence against prisoners in New York. The death rate in New York's prisons is now higher than at the peak of the pandemic. The brutal murder of Robert Brooks caught on video in December has shocked our often cautious government into action, giving us a rare and urgent opportunity to build a safer, more humane prison system.

This is our moment.

We are building a coalition that will serve as a catalyst for a movement grounded in dignity, safety, and accountability — where every person in prison, whether living or working there, is treated with respect and humanity. Real transformation takes all of us.

Whether you're an individual who believes in justice or an organization ready to stand for systemic change, you can make an impact. Together, we can move beyond reaction — and toward a future where prisons are no longer places of violence, but spaces of accountability, safety, and human dignity.

Join us. Be part of the change. Sign up today to receive important updates as we launch this campaign.
