Dear friend,
September 20th is Daniel Prude’s birthday. He
was a father, brother, uncle, son and deeply loved by his family. Three
years ago, on March 23rd, 2020, Daniel Prude was killed by RPD while
experiencing a mental health crisis.
In his memory, communities across NY State
will gather to honor those killed by police and advocate for the passage
of Daniel’s law, a bill that would remove police as the default
response to mental health crises and allow Peers/Mental health workers
and EMT's to be first responders.
At the event, you'll have the chance to hear
from State and municipal legislators fighting to transform how we
respond to mental health crises in NY, alongside families of those
directly impacted. You'll also have the chance to learn about mental
health and wellness resources available in your community and how you
can get involved in the fight ! for Daniel's Law.
Please RSVP below to let us know you'll be joining us at one of the three events. We look forward to connecting with you :
Rochester : 9.23 | 4-7pm| Jefferson & McCree
Brooklyn : 9.23| 3-7pm | Utica & Montgomery
Albany : 9.23 | 12-3 pm | West Capitol Park
In Solidarity,
Stanley, Imani, Kim & the WNY Team |
