This thread will cover the points raised in these recommendations. 1/

5 more minutes in our power hour, folks! Let’s leave Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani lots of voicemails, emails & tweets voicing the people’s demand to #DefundNYPD + #AbolishThePolice. We can’t be safe with police terrorizing us. Safety means money for resources for our communities. We must defund.

Time is ticking to finalize the budget and we need #NYCBudgetJustice. When we say #DefundNYPD we mean it. And defunding is just one part of the solution to be free of the violence of policing + prisons. Abolition is possible + necessary for safe communities. #AbolishThePolice

Thank you all for joining our #DefundNYPD phone zap! We gotta sustain up this energy. If you can, commit to calling/emailing your reps every day until the budget is finalized on June 30. And sign up for Free Them All For Public Health’s phone zaps below! We deserve nothing less than abolition.

The #DefundPolice toolkit describes defund demands across the country, as well as alternative safety strategies in use. Don’t see your area? Use the toolkit to craft a campaign and connect with other organizers. #fundthepeople #defendblacklives bit.ly/InterruptingTo…

We have ONE WEEK left before the NYC budget passes. ONE WEEK left for Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCSpeakerCoJo & New York City Council to #DefundNYPD by at least $1 billion. Join NYers to protest & occupy at City Hall. Demand #NYCBudgetJustice like our lives depend on it, because they do.

Occupation will be here tonight and the rest of the week to #DefundNYPD and win money for our communities. If you have an office or community space downtown, places of worship, and can open your doors for bathrooms that’s helpful right now! Thank you!

DROP OFF @ CITY HALL, CORNER OF CHAMBERS & CENTER #OccupyCityHall #DefundNYPD

Abolish the NYPD, $0 to prisons and policing. #DefundNYPD
