  • Record 205 Democratic, GOP Campaigns Nationwide Connected to Bipartisan American Public Anger About Trade Policy Status Quo of Job Offshoring
    For Immediate Release : Contact : Bryan Buchanan (202) 454-5108 Nov. 3, 2010 Political Perils of Pending Trade Policy Battles Highlighted: Record 205 Democratic, GOP Campaigns Nationwide Connected to Bipartisan American Public Anger About Trade Policy Status Quo of Job Offshoring Amidst Powerful GOP Wave, Best Defense Was a Fair Trade Offense With House Democrats Running On Fair Trade Platforms Three Times More Likely to Survive; Record 220-plus Trade Campaign Ads Nationwide Washington, D.C. – House Democrats that ran on fair trade platforms in competitive and open- seat races were three times as likely to survive the GOP tidal wave than Democrats who ran against fair trade, according to a comprehensive 182-race, 70-page report released today by Public Citizen. The GOP tsunami obliterated many candidate-specific features of the midterm contests, but trade, job offshoring and/or government purchases of foreign-made goods were a stunningly persistent national focus of midterm election campaigns, with 205 candidates campaigning on these issues. A record number of 75 Republicans adopted some fair trade messaging as well, 43 of whom won their races. More than sixty races became “fair trade offs,” where both the Democrat and Republican ran on fair trade themes. Only 37 candidates campaigned in favor of more North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA)-style trade agreements - about half of these candidates lost. “That Democrats and GOP alike ran against the trade policy status quo highlights the intensity of public ire about our job exporting trade policy – a phenomenon also seen in national polls. It also reveals the trouble that the White House and GOP leaders will face if they try to pass the leftover Bush trade pacts with Korea, Colombia and Panama, to say nothing of the threat such a move would cause to President Obama’s reelection in 2012,” said Lori Wallach, director of Public Citizen’s Global Trade Watch.

In an effort to maintain public safety and order, we must ensure that the police, the courts, and the criminal justice system as a whole are able to function efficiently and safely. To do so, we must take steps to keep as many people as possible out of the criminal justice system, and in particular out of custody in jails like those on Rikers Island. However, jails are not the only problematic environment; the cells in which individuals are detained during the 24 hours after an arrest but before arraignment similarly present opportunities for the virus to take hold and spread.

  • Letter to President Obama
    December 7, 2009 The Honorable Barack Obama President Washington, DC 20500 Dear Mr. President: As you prepare your Fiscal Year 2011 budget, we are writing to express our strong support for a robust International Affairs Budget. The critical programs funded in the International Affairs Budget invest in the tools of development and diplomacy, foster economic and political stability on a global scale, strengthen our allies, and fight the spread of poverty, disease, terrorism and weapons of mass destruction. These investments are essential to strengthening our national security, building economic prosperity, and protecting the health and safety of all Americans, while demonstrating our moral values and humanitarian principles. National Security: National security and foreign policy experts across the political spectrum support an increase in the International Affairs Budget as an essential component of our national security. As Defense Secretary Robert Gates has stated, “It has become clear that America’s civilian institutions of diplomacy and development have been chronically undermanned and underfunded for far too long – relative to what we traditionally spend on the military, and more important, relative to the responsibilities and challenges our nation has around the world.” Secretary Gates and other military leaders argue that our national security is dependent not only on a strong military force but also on increased investments in the full range of diplomatic, development and humanitarian tools funded through the International Affairs Budget. These investments improve our ability to track down terrorists and weapons, help reduce poverty and hunger, promote the security of key allies, and assist in the stabilization of fragile states that often provide quarter and safe haven to terrorists and others who seek to do us harm.

  • For Immediate Release***
    July 24, 2020 Contact: Redmond Haskins The Legal Aid Society (929) 441-2384 [email protected] ***FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE*** Statement In Response To Reports That Staten Island DA McMahon Will Refuse To Prosecute NYPD Officers Who Violate Recently Enacted NYC Diaphragm Law (NEW YORK, NY) – The Legal Aid Society released the following statement in response to reports that Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon will refuse to prosecute New York City Police Department (NYPD) officers who violate the City’s recently enacted law banning unlawful restraints used by police during an arrest: “Staten Island District Attorney Michael McMahon has a clear bias problem. When it comes to prosecuting Black and Latinx New Yorkers, even with weak or false evidence, his office is quick to bring charges, demand exorbitant bail and force guilty pleas. But when it comes to holding police officers accountable for committing heinous acts of misconduct, the NYPD can count on DA McMahon for special treatment. This blanket policy is a slap in the face to Eric Garner, who was killed from an NYPD chokehold. If McMahon and others refuse to prosecute officers when they break the law and endanger lives, then we call on New York State Attorney General Letitia James to assume that role and perform it zealously.” ### The Legal Aid Society exists for one simple yet powerful reason: to ensure that New Yorkers are not denied their right to equal justice because of poverty. For over 140 years, we have protected, defended, and advocated for those who have struggled in silence for far too long.
