On October 6, 2011, CCR Advocacy Program Manager Nahal Zamani testified before the Public Safety Committee of the New York City Council.

In this testimony, CCR asked the Committee on Public Safety to urge the NYPD to end bias-based policing and to implement policies that promote community safety and respect the rights of all New York City residents. CCR also underlined the necessity to ensure that actions that purport to protect New Yorkers, are not in fact, detrimental to their safety.
