Rikers Island jail complex must be shut down. The conditions at Rikers are horrific—for the people jailed there and for the staff. Most people at Rikers are Black, brown, and/or low-income, and have not been convicted of a crime. They're in jail because they can't afford bail, while those with money buy their freedom. 

In 2019, the City Council voted to close Rikers, but now Mayor Adams is trying to keep it open! Adams must cut the city's jail population, shut down Rikers, and invest in real public safety: housing, health care, education, and jobs.
