For the next few weeks, in the lead up to the No Condoms as Evidence Coalition lobby day in Albany on April 23rd, we’ll be emailing you on Mondays with updates about the campaign. First, some info about lobby day itself. We will be running two buses to Albany on April 23rd, one leaving from Manhattan and the other from Brooklyn/Queens. The bus leaves early in the morning and gets back late - so plan for a full day. Transportation is free, and we’ll feed you all day, too. We will match you with a team to do your legislative visits, and you’ll meet with 2 to 4 legislators to ask them to support the no condoms as evidence bill. To confirm your participation or get more info, just respond to this email. We are also available to give you support around how to do all this and have upcoming trainings to help you learn and practice these skills - email for details!
Last week at the LGBT Mayoral Forum at the Center in NYC, all of the mayoral candidates said that they support our bill! So that’s a good thing. Now we just have to get state reps to pass it into law.
Communities United for Police Reform has been doing some great organizing around the NYPD’s stop and frisk practices, and this past week the NYPD went on trial. Learn more about the trial and actions taking place in NYC here.
Never been to Albany to talk to your elected representatives? Learn more about how it works in our above video about the 2012 lobby day.
