According to testimony from advocates and moms, marijuana is playing an outsized role in NYC child welfare cases — even though current policy (& state law) stipulates that it cannot be the sole basis for a child neglect case. gothamist.com/2019/04/11/mar…

Yes! And @DPA_NY testified that we think @NYCCouncil should ask why NYC is tearing families apart for drug use. As multiple defenders and advocates have said “How can we close rikers and NOT talk about child welfare?” cc: @Dinahortiz4 @JMacForFamilies twitter.com/nycprogressive…

Family separation is happening rn in NYC due to @NYCHealthSystem drug testing mothers, sometimes w/o consent, leading to @ACSNYC cases. Bills heard thru this @NYCCouncil hearing are part of @NYCProgressives #MarijuanaJustice legislative package to push NYS to #LegalizeIt @DPA_NY twitter.com/gothamist/stat…

NYC's child welfare system tears families apart bc of marijuana use, subjecting parents to unfair scrutiny, onerous unnecessary treatment programs and other barriers to reunification. Often stemming from testing pregnant women, with questionable consent. gothamist.com/2019/04/11/mar…

As public defenders, we see a system that criminalizes sex work & conflates it with sex trafficking. This subjects both sex workers & victims of trafficking to traumatic court processes & further violence from exploiters, traffickers, & police. nydailynews.com/news/politics/… @DecrimNY

NYS law doesn't allow marijuana use to be the sole basis for finding a parent neglectful. But in NYC's child welfare system, its use is conflated with neglect—with devastating results: separating families of color & denying reunification. Our testimony: bit.ly/2IrGx99 twitter.com/NYCProgressive…

Women of Color deserve bodily autonomy when accessing services in an institution that has great power over their bodies and lives. These practices should require enthusiastic and informed consent. The current practice contribute to the historic exploitation of WOC bodies. twitter.com/nycprogressive…
