Our Breakfast Briefing was a success! Thank you to everyone that attended!

We would like to give a special thanks to Lyft for sponsoring rides to our event, and other sponsors including Def Method, Lady Justice Initiatives, Trinity Church Wall Street and Dream.Org.

Happy Juneteenth! Happy Juneteenth! Today, we reflect on a pivotal moment in American history and its implications for our work. At Good Call, we are driven by the principles of justice and equity, providing critical legal assistance at the moment of arrest to ensure fair treatment for all. Let’s continue to push for systemic change. #Juneteenth #SocialJustice #GoodCallNYC

We are pleased to announce New York State Assemblymember Andrew Hevesi, of the 28th Assembly District, in Queens, as our Keynote Speaker for the 2nd Good Call Breakfast Briefing. As a co-sponsor for the Right To Remain Silent Act, Hevesi has been an advocate for Criminal Justice Reform, passing legislation prohibiting the arrest and prosecution of any child under 12 years old, barring crimes of homicide, as well as trying to pass the Right To Remain Silent act, a piece of legislation that modifies the Family Court Act and Criminal Procedure Law to ensure that a child under age 18 may only be interrogated by law enforcement after consulting with counsel. Thank you NYS Assemblymember Hevesi for being our Keynote Speaker and for your advocacy.

Last Saturday, we tabled at Brooklyn Pride Festival where we gave nearly 3,000 cards with our hotline number. Tabling at these events is of importance to us, as it's important that we continue to support the LGBTQ community. We'll be at the next few Pride festivals including Bronx Pride Festival, Harlem Pride and Manhattan Pride. Come visit our table at the next few Pride Festivals!
