  • OAG Hearing on Interactions Between NYPD and the General Public Submitted Written Testimony
    OAG Hearing on Interactions Between NYPD and the General Public Submitted Written Testimony Tahanie Aboushi | New York, New York I am counsel for Dounya Zayer, the protestor who was violently shoved by officer D’Andraia and observed by Commander Edelman. I would like to appear with Dounya to testify at this hearing and I will submit written testimony at a later time but well before the June 15th deadline. Thank you. Marissa Abrahams | South Beach Psychiatric Center | Brooklyn, New York As a nurse, it has been disturbing to see first-hand how few NYPD officers (present en masse at ALL peaceful protests) are wearing the face masks that we know are preventing the spread of COVID-19. Demonstrators are taking this extremely seriously and I saw NYPD literally laugh in the face of a protester who asked why they do not. It is negligent and a blatant provocation -especially in the context of the over-policing of Black and Latinx communities for social distancing violations. The complete disregard of the NYPD for the safety of the people they purportedly protect and serve, the active attacks with tear gas and pepper spray in the midst of a respiratory pandemic, is appalling and unacceptable. Aaron Abrams | Brooklyn, New York I will try to keep these testimonies as precise as possible since I know your office likely has hundreds, if not thousands to go through. Three separate occasions highlighted below: First Incident - May 30th - Brooklyn - peaceful protestors were walking from Prospect Park through the streets early in the day. At one point, police stopped to block the street and asked that we back up.

  • Annual Report
    2017 ANNUAL REPORT Building Relationships, Inspiring Success. “Ramapo for Children is built around a set of beliefs, an educational philosophy, and an approach to creating community. In 2017, we brought that approach to more educators and children than ever before.” 2 RAMAPO 2017 At Ramapo, we have spent nearly a century supporting young people who wrestle with challenges such as disability, learning difference, poverty, or trauma. Our approach, on display throughout this annual report, helps create environments that foster a sense of belonging and connectedness, and promotes individual learning and personal growth for young people and adults. Our mission is rooted in building healthy relationships and strong communities. Ramapo has evolved over the years and our commitment to continuous improvement has been unwavering. Ongoing self-reflection and learning are integral to our organizational culture. We believe that our mission bestows on us a responsibility to address any issues that can give rise to alienation and exclusion. In that spirit, in 2017, we began tackling the issues of racism and inequity, and exploring how they manifest in our work, among our partners, and even within our own organization. Throughout its history, Ramapo has been a living laboratory for identifying and articulating practices that help support success for all. We hope that others discover, as we have, that difficult conversations about race and equity, undertaken in an environment marked by honesty and trust can strengthen bonds and deepen connections. We plan to share what we’ve learned, so that other organizations will have the confidence and skill to confront a challenge that keeps so many young people, families, and organizations from truly fulfilling their potential.

    2015 ANNUAL REPORT BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS, INSPIRING SUCCESS. Strategies that Support Success Grounded in the conviction that all young people genuinely want to do well, the Ramapo Approach is a set of strategies and tools designed to help young people overcome challenges and experience success. Whether on our Rhinebeck Campus or through our work in schools and youth service agencies, our staff members help create supportive environments and make sure no one gets left behind. 2 RAMAPO 2015 Supporting Success from Early Childhood to Independence For many of our partners, families and alumni, the connection to Ramapo is emotional and deeply personal. Perhaps it’s simply because we work on behalf of children who are society’s most vulnerable. Perhaps there is something more. When our children are born, we have lofty aspirations regarding parenting and how we want to be seen in our children’s eyes. When a college or graduate student comes to work at Camp ,RESPONDING, ,REFLECTING, Ramapo, they are armed with great optimism about the impact REPAIRING they will have on the children who will be entrusted in their care. When an emerging professional makes the choice to be a teacher in an urban school, they enter the classroom with an ADAPTING FOR ambitious vision for the role they hope to play in their students’ INDIVIDUAL NEEDS lives. Yet all of us—parents, teachers and anyone who works with children—discover at some point along the way, that the job we actually have is not always exactly the one we envisioned. Children can be challenging. Despite our best intentions, there ,CLEAR EXPECTATIONS, are moments when we feel ill-equipped or catch ourselves STRUCTURES & ROUTINES saying or doing things that seem incongruous with the people we aspire to be.
