Letitia James (35th district, Brooklyn, Working Families Party) announced her support for Assemble for Rights' legislation, the New York City First Amendment Act. No suprise that "Tish" James is standing up against the NYPD power grab. Councilwoman James is a former public defender with the Legal Aid Society in New York and a founder of the Urban Network, a coalition of minority professional organizations that raises money and distributes college scholarships to inner city youth. Her constituants in Brooklyn can be proud of her vocal support of their rights.
