Labor Forum at DC37 for NYC Council Bill of Rights Resolution

with Juan Fernandez, President, Local 154, DC37, AFSCME Udi Ofer, Project Director, New York Civil Liberties Union Michael Ratner, President, Center for Constitutional Rights.

Immediately after 911, with little public debate, the U.S. Congress enacted the Patriot Act, and then the Homeland Security Act, followed by new federal orders, rules and regulations infringing on civil liberties and civil rights. In response, 3 states &over 200 cities have adopted resolutions in support of individual Constitutional rights. On 12-15-2003 despite the urging of a coalition called the NYC Bill of Rights Defense Campaign, the NYC Council failed to join the list. But the resolution is coming up again on Wed., Jan. 7 for The NYC Council to take a stand against secret detentions without charges or access to counsel; spying on lawful political and religious speech; and ethnic and religious profiling. The resolution calls upon federal, state and local officials and NYC agencies and institutions to affirm and protect civil rights and civil liberties.

Now is the time to mobilize America's pro-choice majority and spread the word that we will not stand for government interference in our private health decisions.
