STARTING NOW!
It’s time to rally for #CareNotCuts . Mayor Eric Adams doesn’t care about funding the services NYers need. All he wants to fund is more criminalization - AKA a blank check for the NYPD and DOC.
Zakiyah from AQE New York asking Mayor Eric Adams:
We have millions in funding for student - why do you want to defund education?
#CareNotCuts
Nile Borja, Youth Leader with Urban Youth Collaborative (UYC) speaking now.
The mayor needs to put a hiring freeze on cops in schools. The safest schools have the most resources, NOT the most police.
.Office of the Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams Jumaane Williams:
“I have been thru 3 administrations and we are having the same conversations. We have a right to be safe and feel safe, but public safety in this city is uncertain under Mayor Eric Adams.”
Thank you Sandy Nurse and the NYC Progressive Caucus for making sure NYC will not pass another budget that fails the most vulnerable NYers.
On the move! We’re marching for #CareNotCuts
