NY AG James

Dr. King lived, led, and died as America’s most courageous peaceful warrior. A man whose principles and steadfast commitment to equality has left an imprint in every corner of our society and throughout the world. A man who taught us that only love can conquer hate. #MLKDay

During this time of unrest and change, we must look to the life of Dr. King and emulate his spirit and his teachings. We are all architects of his Beloved Community – a world without racism, poverty & militarism, where justice and equality are attained through non-violent means.

The Trump administration has chosen to leave inadequate air pollution standards in place, posing a danger to both public health and the environment. I filed a lawsuit to fight back and protect our planet and the air we breathe.

It’s game day! Good luck, @BuffaloBills. I'll be rooting for you along with all of #BillsMafia! #GoBills #MightBeChilly https://t.co/n5zAIQCqbb

After a summer of police brutality at demonstrations protesting police brutality, @NewYorkStateAG @TishJames is suing the NYPD to end the “longstanding pattern of brutal and illegal force.” #velshi

The @NRA's claimed financial status has finally met its moral status: bankrupt.   While we review its bankruptcy filing, we will not allow the @NRA to use this or any other tactic to evade accountability and my office’s oversight.

We heard from medics. We heard from essential workers. We heard from individuals who engaged in peaceful protest. We filed this lawsuit against @NYPDnews because we won't allow anyone to violate the rights of New Yorkers. https://t.co/LcQ2ftknZl

Sign up below to join our town hall tonight at 6:30PM! We also now have a guest appearance from @NewYorkStateAG to discuss her efforts to protect and defend New Yorkers. https://t.co/eCNES1A7Tp

One year ago this week, thousands of Nassau residents of all faiths came together to march against Anti-Semitism. We must continue to confront Anti-Semitism and all forms of bigotry in 2021 so they never find comfort in our communities. https://t.co/FJemRnsFLe

With today’s lawsuit, this longstanding pattern of brutal and illegal force ends. New Yorkers deserve better.

It’s past time for real, meaningful change.   That’s why we are seeking systemic reforms to the NYPD and the installation of a monitor to oversee the NYPD’s policing tactics in future protests and to ensure they are complying with the law.

The NYPD and its senior leaders failed to address this longstanding pattern of abuse by not properly training, supervising, and disciplining officers to prevent misconduct, despite knowing and publicly admitting that it violated the rights of New Yorkers.

Our landmark lawsuit outlines the @NYPDnews' years of using excessive force and making false arrests against New Yorkers, most recently during racial justice protests in 2020. This unlawful conduct has led to severe injuries and violated the basic right to peaceful protest.

After last week’s deadly attack at the U.S. Capitol, my office is closely monitoring all threats against the New York State Capitol. We won't hesitate to take legal action against anyone who seeks to terrorize or harm legislators, Capitol staff, law enforcement, or the public.

Starting yesterday, New Yorkers in Phase 1b groups are now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. See if you're eligible and find vaccination locations near you: https://t.co/yVyJY042Pd https://t.co/oa3BVKvqbK

We're leading a coalition of 22 attorneys general in seeking to stop a Texas law that restricts women's access to abortion services and subjects them to significant health risks. I will always fight to protect a woman's constitutional right to access an abortion in this nation.

The opioid crisis has claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and it’s imperative that the federal government take action to protect Americans. That’s why we are calling on the @US_FDA to produce an update on the progress they've made to combat this nationwide epidemic.

The #FBI and our partners are seeking information to help us pursue individuals who instigated violence on January 6 in Washington, D.C. Look at the photos we've added at https://t.co/MMTOKcDiy7, and if you see someone you recognize, submit a tip at https://t.co/buMd8vYXzH.
