LatinoJustice Applauds NYC Council’s Decision to Override Mayor’s Veto  
How Many Stops Act to Expand NYPD Transparency 

New York, NY – New York City Council today voted (42-9) to override Mayor Eric Adams veto on the “How Many Stops Act”, legislation that requires greater police accountability when officers stop New Yorkers, and a solitary confinement ban bill.  The City Council had approved both bills in a vote on December 20th, 2023. Mayor Eric Adams vetoed the bills on January 19th, 2024.  
 
The following statement can be attributed to Robert Willis Justice Advocate Coordinator of  LatinoJustice PRLDEF: 
 
“LatinoJustice applauds the City Council's decision to commit to justice and safety for all New Yorkers. The How Many Stops Act will go a long way in fostering transparency, rebuilding trust, and ensuring respect for our diverse communities. We will continue to be vigilant to ensure the law is properly implemented and work towards true community safety and police transparency.”
