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.
In addition to the $1B in cuts for the NYPD, we are also demanding more transparency in the NYPD budget and calling for the elimination of regressive policing tactics, including ending abusive, rebranded anti-crime units.
We are also demanding putting a halt to NYPD homeless encampment sweeps and the NYPD’s mental health co-response teams, and stopping units like the NYPD Strategic Response Group and Vice Squad.
To learn more about what's in the NYPD's budget and to see our recommendations on where to cut NYPD budget bloat as well as our recommendations on where to put those savings, go to: bit.ly/38MYTRS #InvestInCommunities #NYCBudgetJustice
TAKE ACTION! Urge the @NYCCouncil to cut NYPD budget bloat and to redirect funds towards community investments that actually do work to make cities safer: bit.ly/DemandNYCBudge… Image
