We're Watching

What can you do if you witness abusive policing or illegal immigration enforcement? Discriminatory and abusive policing in New York City remains a serious problem that disproportionately impacts marginalized communities. Documenting the New York City Police Department (NYPD) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is legal and protected by the Constitution. You can support the safety of your loved ones and communities by deterring, de-escalating and documenting law enforcement violence and misconduct.

CUP collaborated up with the Justice Committee and designer Jade Broomfield to create We’re Watching: A guide to recording the police and ICE. The bilingual English/Spanish booklet explains your rights and best practices for documenting law enforcement. The booklet breaks down how to document interactions with the police and ICE and includes tips on how to assess your safety to decide whether to document or not. For those who aren’t US citizens, Justice Committee has created an additional handout that goes deeper into the risks of Cop and ICE Watching.
