NYAPRS Note: We are still fighting for the passage of Daniel’s Law to establish non-police crisis response teams so that no one else has the same experience as Daniel’s Prude, who was killed by police after experiencing a behavioral health crisis three years ago today. Daniel’s Law advocates continue our week of action with vigils across the state tonight from 6:00pm – 8:00pm and a day of community outreach and phone banking tomorrow. Please see below for locations of vigils and how to get involved.
Yesterday we held a successful rally & legislative advocacy day in Albany calling for funding and full implementation of Daniel’s Law.
Today marks the 3 year anniversary of Daniel Prude’s killing by the Rochester police Department while he was experiencing a mental health crisis. In his memory we’ll be holding vigils across the state from 6-8pm. Here are the locations:
Rochester:6:00pm – 8:00pm – Jefferson & McCree
Albany:6:00pm -8:00pm – Governor’s Mansion – 138 Eagle St.
NYC:6:00pm – 8:00pm – Crown Heights, Utica & Montgomery
