The Campaign to Close Rikers is led by survivors and family members who’ve been directly impacted by the injustice and torture of New York City jails, with the support of faith leaders, service providers, community organizations, and other allies. The campaign seeks to decarcerate, defend the rights of incarcerated people, divest from prisons and jails and redistribute resources to meet people’s needs- like housing, healthcare, education, and employment- and by doing so, create true safety.
