And Eric Adams, the NY State Senator who represents Park Slope will be there.

The march is planned for Sunday, June 17 at 3PM at 110th Street between Fifth and Lenox Avenues at the northern edge of Central Park. You can read more about it on the NYCLU website.

In preparation for the Father’s Day silent march against the NYPD’s stop and frisk practice, Adams, a former NYPD Captain, has posted a presentation to his website that explains in layman’s terms how the NYPD’s current practice violates the rights of minority youth.

Senator Adams states:

“Many New Yorkers are not fully aware of how the NYPD’s current practice of stop and frisk is abusive to youth of color.   My presentation explains the intention of the procedure, and shows how it is currently misused.  It is my hope that after viewing the presentation, an informed public will march in a unified manner to call upon the NYPD to stop the abuse of this practice.”
