Call your city councilmember now and tell them to vote no on the proposed budget. It uses accounting gimmicks instead of making substantive change to #DefundNYPD and create #NYCBudgetJustice. We need more counselors, not more cops.
VOCAL-NY@VOCALNewYork

ATTENTION THIS IS NOT A TEST: At 11AM @NYCCouncil is scheduled to vote on a budget filled w/ funny math & budget tricks. Tell your councilmember now don't protect NYPD over Black & other NYers of color, vote no on the budget! council.nyc.gov/districts/ #DefundNYPD #NYCBudgetJustice

“This is the moment to disassociate ourselves from institutional racism and to affirm that Black Lives Matters,” the staffers wrote. “The time has come for our actions to align with our words.” It's time to remove the NYPD from schools. nydailynews.com/new-york/educa…

It's embarassing and unjust that NYC has one of the most segregated school systems in the country. @NYCSchools @DOEChancellor @NYCMayor the time is now to eliminate discriminatory admissions screens. Sign here if you agree docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

Call your city councilmembers and ask them to push for NYPD to take its share (at least) of budget cuts. We need more social services, less over policing.

"If police budgets bought peace, the $6 *billion* NYPD budget would’ve bought the most sophisticated de-escalatory operation in the world. Clearly, it didn’t." - @AOC We can and MUST do better. #DefundNYPD #NYCBudgetJustice ow.ly/9NrU50zWsXO

Don't forget to fill out the census! It's more important than ever. For example - $ to public hospitals is allocated in part on census data. If we're undercounted, we get less money for hospitals. Among many other things... Fill it out here: my2020census.gov

Hey New York! Contrary to some very misleading headlines, we DO HAVE A PRIMARY on June 23rd. The Presidential contest won't be on the ballot, but a whole lot of State and Congressional primaries will be! You can apply for your absentee ballot here: nycabsentee.com

Fraction of all US wealth owned by Boomers & Gen-Xers when the average member of each was age 35: Boomers, 1989 21% GenX, 2008 8% The average Millennial turns 35 in 2023. Right now they own 3%. There will surely be political implications. #quarter:119;series:Net%20worth;demographic:generation;population:all;units:shares" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">federalreserve.gov/releases/z1/da…

Folks: @realDonaldTrump is actively soliciting campaign support from every foreign government he can. This is a constitutional crisis and a sharp move towards authoritarianism. For the sake of our country we must #Impeach and remove this threat to America. Everything's at stake.

Don't sleep on this! Lost in all this insane news is the administration's effort to undermine the disparate impact rule--this would take away a critical tool to fight housing discrimination, which is already rampant. Submit a comment - your government needs to hear from you!
