News is circulating online that Mayor Adams has reached a handshake deal outside of public view on the city’s FY23 budget which includes the largest-ever NYPD budget -- $11.2B -- a huge boon for failed policing tactics, not so much for communities.
As we face the aftermath of the pandemic and the imminence of a recession, the mayor is proposing a budget that would flood our communities with police rather than the resources New Yorkers so desperately need during this recovery.
We are calling on city leaders to cut at least $1 billion from the NYPD’s budget and instead invest it in real public safety solutions.
Happening now: Black immigrant justice leaders and community advocates are holding a press conference on the importance of defending #AB32 from GEO Group.

"We have seen the terrifying conditions & outbreaks that have occurred in prisons and immigrant detention centers. #AB32 is an important piece of legislation that would allow us the opportunity to combat the ways that incarceration continues to expand."

"as long as we have prisons and prison reforms more and bigger and better prisons will appear, as history is proving, and society will keep on using them as an escape from its own responsibilities of correcting the economic and social failures that make crime possible."
"reforming the prison system is like repairing a shack that should be torn down.” “Don’t get any false optimism about prison reform. Any hope there is lies outside the system, not in it.”
