Learn about the Charge or Release Bill * Share Your Story * Know Your Rights
Listen to political leaders, advocates and activists discuss the Charge or Release Bill, a City Council bill that would ensure that anyone arrested in New York City is brought before a judge within 24 hours. Hear testimonials from people who have been arrested and detained longer than 24 hours before seeing a judge. Then, ask our panel of lawyers and activists your questions about your rights if you're stopped by the police, if you're arrested, etc.
Panelists Include:
City Council Member Bill Perkins; Charles Billups, Grand Council of Guardians; Traci Douglas, Neighborhood Defender Service of Harlem; King Downing, ACLU’s Campaign Against Racial Profiling; And more…
