We are looking for a dedicated mentor to support our South Bronx Community Connections youth as they navigate punishing systems and the challenges of life. We’re excited to bring on someone who can specifically connect with the boys in our program and strong facilitation skills.

It’s been 5 yrs since the NYPD murdered #AllanFeliz. His family has fought tirelessly to get @NYCMayor & @NYPDPC to #FireJonathanRivera for killing him, but with Adams' corruption, they fear justice won’t be served. Come to Gracie Mansion on 10/17 to stand with the Feliz family!

This is it. We only have TWO DAYS to stop Missouri from executing #MarcellusWilliams, an innocent man.
Though @GovParsonMO's office is closed today, we can’t let a single moment go by where we’re not urging him to take action. Email, tweet, and contact his office now: bit.ly/3MT0OVh

#AllanFeliz's family should be celebrating his 36th bday on 3/2, but NYPD killed Allan in 2019. @CCRB_NYC substantiated fireable charges over 10 months ago, but NYPD is obstructing. Come out to City Hall to demand @NYCMayor & @NYPDPC #FireJonathanRivera for killing Allan Feliz.

The mayor has long touted his commitment to police transparency and accountability. Vetoing this legislation shows he doesn’t care about the safety of Black, Latino/e/x and other New Yorkers and is not a mayor his constituents can count on!
