    (1) I'm not sure I can fully explain how much this win means to me. 3 years ago, an incredibly brave woman reached out for help after the NYPD forced her undress in front of men, removing her hijab against her will. It was outrageous...just indefensible.

    BREAKING: S.T.O.P. forces to end “hijab removal" policy, partially settling years-long lawsuit. Thank you to our amazing co-counsel , and our brave clients , Jamilla Clark, and Arwa Aziz!

    “The Biden Administration must tackle this surveillance surge as part of any comprehensive COVID-19 plan. With the new administration likely to promote remote work as a larger part of our response to COVID-19, we need to protect workers’ right to privacy.”
