Letter to Progressive Caucus on the POST Act
CAIR-NY recently called on progressive City Council Members to support the POST Act, a vital bill that would protect New Yorkers’ civil rights. The POST ACT would require the NYPD to disclose the expanding array of surveillance tools it’s using to spy on our city.
For years, the NYPD has circumvented City Council oversight by using federal funds and grants to purchase new and highly-invasive technologies. Our elected officials, who are entrusted with overseeing the NYPD, must have the chance to ask how and why these funds are being used.
