We stood with Win Rozario’s family last week to demand a shred of accountability—instead of the “human error” enabling Alongi to retire before his trial.

The mayor’s office has now offered some changes. It’s the culture that needs changing, to prevent another family grieving.

Yesterday, we showed up at Councilmember Feliz’s Bronx office with one ask: hold a hearing on the CURB Act.

Instead, we were met with police barricades, a shut-down block, and counterprotesters who put hands on people in our group while NYPD officers watched.

This is how the SRG handles peaceful protest. It’s time for accountability.

27 Council Members already back Int. 796. Councilmember Feliz, schedule the hearing.

Disband the SRG. Pass the CURB Act. ✊

We showed up at Councilmember Feliz’s office in the Bronx this morning with one ask: hold a hearing on the CURB Act.

What we got was police barricades, a fully shut-down block, and counterprotesters who put hands on people in our group while NYPD officers watched.

That’s the SRG model in action: treat protest as a threat, protect the people who escalate, and call it public safety.

26 Council Members already back Int. 796, so we’re only a few votes away. Councilmember Feliz, schedule the hearing.

Disband the SRG. Pass the CURB Act. ✊

We gathered outside Councilmember Oswald Feliz’s office in the Bronx this morning to urge him to hold a hearing for @chiosse’s CURB Act (Int. 796) to disband the NYPD’s Strategic Response Group.

With 26 Council Members in support, the CURB Act needs just a few more votes to pass in the City Council.

Instead of being met with an open space to peacefully assemble, we were met with police barricades, an entire block shut down, and aggressive counterprotesters who assaulted members of our peaceful gathering while the NYPD stood by.

This is exactly why the SRG and the NYPD’s handling of peaceful protests must be fundamentally reformed. We won’t be intimidated. Disband the SRG. Pass the CURB Act.

Join Break the Chain for our first mass meeting on October 17!

We’re organizing to end the ongoing genocide on Palestine by building toward a people’s arms embargo in New York City. Our pressure target is JFK airport, through which hazardous cargo is shipped to Israel to commit genocide and endless wars of aggression. By facilitating arm shipments to Israel, JFK is enabling genocide and compromising the safety of both workers and the traveling public.

Our mass meeting is open to all – neighbors, workers, and community members. We will be introducing Break the Chain, discussing the introduction of our state legislation in the fall, and giving everyone an opportunity to share your vision, get plugged into the campaign, start an organizing committee, and endorse our legislation.

📅 October 17
⏰ 2-4:30PM
📍 15 Rutherford Pl, NYC

RSVP at link in bio!

Thursday afternoon, an ICE agent shot Oscar Belgal in the neck in front of his 5-year-old son in Marble Hill.

Mayor Mamdani has called for abolishing IFE, and we agree, but that fight happens at the federal level. Here’s what we can do right now at City Hall ➡️

→ Stop NYPD from clearing the way for ICE
→ Close the HSI loophole and pull NYPD off HSI task forces
→ End qualified immunity for every officer in NYC
→ Fund legal defense for every New Yorker facing deportation

Swipe for the full list and the bills to pass, including the NYC Trust Act (Int. 209), Int. 1077 and Int. 1078.

Comment MELT ICE to take action now.

The audacity of @NYPDPC Tisch blaming “human error” after *SHE* approved killer cop Alongi’s retirement while awaiting trial for killing #WinRozario 😡

The family of #WinRozario revealed yesterday that NYPD allowed Salvatore Alongi to retire with an increased pension and skip out on his disciple trial for killing the teen – but instead of acknowledging her own role in the corruption (Tisch is the CHAIR of the pension board) or giving real information about the circumstances of Alongi’s retirement, Commissioner Tisch deflected and blamed a single civilian employee for failing to notify CCRB.

Disgusting.

In response, Win’s family and Justice Committee are demanding:
🔎A full, independent investigation into Alongi’s retirement
📢For the CCRB to schedule the discipline trial for Officer Matthew Cianfrocco, the second officer charged with Win’s death
❌For @NYPDPC & @NYCMayor to FIRE Cianfrocco

NYC’s richest second-home owners are furious 😤

The city just started taxing luxury second homes worth $5M+, and it could bring in $500M a year.

Now they’re suing, calling the tax unconstitutional. A separate lawsuit over the rollout forced the city to redo it (the city is appealing).

This isn’t just about NYC, this is about the rich protecting the rich from even the smallest amount of taxation!

🚨BREAKING: NYPD outrageously let killer cop Salvatore Alongi retire and avoid being tried for killing #WinRozario 😡

Today, the family of Win Rozario exposed that the NYPD let former NYPD Officer Salvatore Alongi, one of the two officers who killed their son, retire in May with his pension, while keeping them and the CCRB in the dark.

19-year-old #WinRozario was gunned down by NYPD Officers Salvatore Alongi & Matthew Cianfrocco in front of his mom and younger brother nearly 3 years ago. In Sept 2025, the CCRB substantiated multiple fireable charges against both cops, clearing the way for a disciplinary trial. Now, Alongi has escaped discipline consequences through his retirement, while Cianfrocco remains on the force and his discipline trial has yet to be scheduled.

In the words of Win’s family: ““All three of us have spoken about how outrageous it is that the NYPD let Alongi retire and avoid being fired for murdering Win. We want to make clear that we believe this is part of a major cover-up and corruption involving the top leaders of the NYPD, including Jessica Tisch, who should be fired. We feel betrayed by the mayor, who came to our home and talked with us when he was campaigning, after Win was murdered. He said he would be a different kind of mayor but it doesn’t seem like it when it comes to the NYPD.”

📢 AMPLIFY THE FAMILY’S DEMANDS:
1️⃣ Schedule the trial for Officer Cianfrocco and fire him, NOW!
2️⃣ Make sure Alongi is officially put on the state decertification list so he can’t work as an officer ever again.
3️⃣ Make all info about Alongi’s retirement public, thru a DOI investigation or another independent process.
4️⃣ Make sure NYPD higher ups face serious consequences for this – including firing Commissioner Jessica Tisch.
5️⃣ Remove police from all mental health response.
