Ariana Grande, Billie Joe Armstrong, Future, Rihanna and other artists, managers, record companies, songwriters and publishers released a letter today supporting the campaign to repeal section 50-A of New York’s Civil Rights Law.
With the killing of George Floyd sparking an eruption of protests across New York City, State, and the nation, the momentum behind the 50-A repeal has ramped up. Section 50-A hides records of police misconduct and abuse from the public.
New York’s Senate and Assembly will convene this week to pass legislation that, by all indication, will include a repeal of 50-A. Gov. Andrew Cuomo said last week that he will sign the bill the legislature passes.
The full letter is here.
