Police Accountability


The End QI campaign champions S. 182 (Jackson) / A. 710 (Hunter), which would end the use of the judicial doctrine of “qualified immunity,” which operates as a near total legal shield from civil liability for public officials–most notably police and corrections officers. End QI aims to hold public officials accountable and preventing systemic violence that disproportionately affects Black, Brown, low-income, and other marginalized New Yorkers. 


“Disband the SRG” is an initiative aimed to disband Strategic Response Groups (or “SRG”), which are protest-suppression police units that were established in the wake of the Ferguson uprisings. The coalition aims to accomplish this by divesting its funding from the NYPD’s to community programs and care.


The How Many Stops Act aims at bringing critical and urgent transparency to the NYPD’s daily activities in New York City communities by requiring a comprehensive accounting of all NYPD stops and consent searches. The data collected through these two bills will complete the picture of what policing really looks like in our City, and create pathways by which the NYPD can be held accountable for their actions.
