Council Member @Vanessalgibson is fighting against #EconomicRacism, for #RealReentry, and to eliminate Body Shops in the Bronx and citywide.
Thank you Council Woman for joining the fight to #EndBodyShopsNow. Let's pass Intro 2318!

“This is going to be a critical step to make sure that the women and men on our construction sites are going to be able to meaningfully reenter the workforce.”
S2803/A5707 has passed the NYS Legislature. Huge thank you to @jamaaltbailey for your advocacy in the @NYSenate!
Bronx Brigade retweeted
#NYSenate Bill S2801A, sponsored by Senator @jamaaltbailey, passed (48-15, unofficial). Relates to work related labor protests not being considered a parole violation:

With the passage of A5705A this evening, we are closer to #RealReentry in New York State. These bills will put people to work, reduce recidivism, & change lives.
Thank you to @JoinJoyner, @CarlHeastie & the @NYSA_Majority for bringing these bills over the finish line tonight 🌟
Bronx Brigade retweeted
New York State has two days left to pass the bills, protect the right to protest, and increase work opportunities for formerly incarcerated workers.
Members of @local79nyc are standing together to #FightBack against exploitation, and they have a message for the @NYSenate and @NYSA_Majority!
It's time for #RealReentry. Albany, pass @JoinJoyner A5705A & @jamaaltbailey S2801A and S2803 before time runs out! #PassTheBills 💪

Albany: Help New York's reentry workers by increasing work opportunities.
These bills from Senator @jamaaltbailey and @JoinJoyner would put people to work, and protect their rights on the job. We're standing with them and @LaborersFight for #RealReentryNow.
For reentry workers trying to get back on their feet, being able to work overtime and night shifts is essential. These workers need Albany to give them access to quality employment, not uphold barriers.
Reentry workers need access to quality employment.
A5705A/S2801A and S2803 put people to work in quality jobs, and protect their rights on the job. That's #RealReentry. We need Albany to act now.

Salute to the @BXBrigade for the hard work they do trying to keep workers protected in the BX. #1u
We are proud to stand with @local79nyc, Elevator Constructors, @NICE4Workers, & community allies to honor the memories of fallen construction workers. Ni uno más.
We joined @local79nyc, @NICE4Workers, and @Fernandez4NY in the Bronx today to hold a vigil for an immigrant worker killed on his jobsite last week.

“Employers consider court-involvement – in this case parole – to indicate a worker deserves less at work, and in which the criminal legal system views underemployment and unemployment as justification for reincarceration.” -@NelpNews #EndBodyShopsNow👇👇

June 10th is approaching as fast as a speeding driver--we need Albany to act now and pass photo enforcement of New York's active roadway work zones!

Let’s put reentry New Yorkers to work while reducing recidivism. Albany is running out of time to pass these bills.
New York needs reentry, not resentencing. The #RealReentry bill package increases workers access to quality construction jobs.
These bills put people to work. These bills help stop cycles of recidivism & exploitation. We need Albany to act now & pass A5705/S2801 & A5707/S2803!

HAPPENING NOW: Laborers are gathering in NYC to demand that the @NYCCouncil #EndBodyShopsNow and stand in support of #RealReentry Construction Careers!

.@local79nyc & @LIUNA have been going hard for #OurBronx. They’ve been supporting our rent clinic & talking to voters in the streets & at home about our campaign to protect & uplift workers & tenants. Their dedication is real. So is our fight for a better Bronx #FromTheGroundUp. – at Bronx, NY

Thank you @JoinJoyner for empowering New York’s reentry construction workers through opportunities to succeed in quality careers.
With your advocacy we can pass this #RealReentry package, reduce recidivism, fight mass incarceration, & uplift the lives of thousands of workers.
Bronx Brigade retweeted
#FactCheck: Workers on parole in New York State can be sent back to prison for failing to maintain employment—even if the reason for not maintaining that employment is because they’re on strike, or protesting dangerous working conditions.
That's resentencing, not real reentry.
