A mental health crisis can't be a death sentence.

Today we stood with Win Rozario's family to demand accountability for the NYPD's unnecessary escalation of deadly force. No other family should see their loved one killed before their eyes by police.

And we all saw it on video.

Mayor Eric Adams Edward A. Caban NY AG James Shahana Hanif 🦾: Win’s murder is another example of why the police shouldn’t be the default responder when there’s need for mental health-centered intervention.

When will killer cops be held accountable?

“NYPD murdered #WinRozario like they murdered #KawaskiTrawick and so many others who needed care but instead were shown utter cruelty!” says DRUM’s Racial Justice organizer Simran

#WinRozario ’s father says he doesn’t need Mayor Eric Adams’s condolences—his family demands ACTION. Suspend and fire Alongi and Cianfrocco as soon as possible!

“I’m worried about if we can get justice because it feels like the system is rigged against us.”

“No mother should have to go through the pain I am living through”

#WinRozario ’s mother grieves the murder of her son who #NYPD murdered within minutes of entering their home. #FireAlongiAndCianfracco

“This is the Mayor Eric Adams’s NYPD… We know that Win’s murder is just another example of why the police shouldn’t be the default responders.”

Had a fantastic time at the Prospect Park Legislative Breakfast yesterday, catching up with colleagues and discussing the importance of investing in green spaces across District 40 and New York City as a whole. 🌳

📢There’s a deep mismatch between what we call “affordable housing” and what many New Yorkers can actually afford.

Our new report shows where different kinds of New Yorkers fall on the scale of “Area Median Income,” the main way American housing programs are targeted.
