That is why on Thursday the council is introducing a package of bills to combat antisemitism and to protect safe access to houses of worship and educational facilities during protests. Our Safe Access bills ensure that when protests are planned near sensitive locations — such as synagogues, churches, mosques and schools — the NYPD is transparent about its public safety risk assessment. In 2008, after escalating harassment outside reproductive health clinics, the council passed laws to ensure safe access while preserving the right to protest. We will ensure these protections cover every New Yorker, regardless of the school or the house of worship they attend. These Safe Access bills are not a stand-alone strategy to combat hate; they are merely one segment of our efforts to strengthen community safety and turn down the temperature across our city.
