Election Day is here. New York City polls are open until 9pm. Find your polling place here and don’t forget to flip your ballot over to vote YES on Prop 1 and NO on Props 2-6!
(Proposal 1 would enshrine reproductive and LGBTQ rights in the New York state constitution. Proposals 2-6 are a dangerous power grab by Eric Adams to weaken checks and balances in NYC’s charter.)

No matter the results of the national election, we know there is so much work to do in the fight for racial justice in New York City. Work like this:
After five years of delays, a discipline trial has finally been scheduled for Lt. Jonathan Rivera, who beat, tasered, shot and killed Allan Feliz after illegally detaining him in a traffic stop. Rivera has a long history of misconduct and abuse and this trial will help determine if he is fired.
November 12th, 13th and 15th, we have the opportunity to show up for the family of Allan Feliz and demand accountability for his murder.
We need volunteers to help take notes during the trial, provide lunch for the Feliz family and their supporters, and pack the courtroom and press conferences to show the mayor and the NYPD that New York City is watching. Sign-up here for in person and remote opportunities to support.
Not able to volunteer? Consider making a donation to the campaign.
This is just one of many ways to continue to take action for racial justice and to build the world we want. The conditions may change, but the fight continues.
Onward,
SURJ NYC
