At a time when mental health policies nationwide are moving in a more humane direction, today’s announcement by the Mayor raises major concerns. My statement:

[Morgan McKay @morganfmckay]

.@NYCLU on @NYCMayor involuntarily committing those with mental illness who can’t take care of themselves

“The Mayor’s attempt to police away homelessness… is a page from the failed Giuliani playbook. With no real plan for housing, services, or supports...”

[Brooklyn Movement Center @BKMovement]

The Mayor’s involuntary removals plan released today is a throwback to the widespread involuntary hospitalization of the ’80s & ’90s. Here’s our response from BMC Executive Director @AnthoninePierre:

Have you read today’s @NYDailyNews op-ed from our Executive Director @AnthoninePierre? https://t.co/1epmj5uCev

[Brooklyn Movement Center @BKMovement]

If the mayor, who himself joined in painting a “Black Lives Matter” sign outside of Trump Tower, wants these words to be more than a slogan, he needs to finally make the necessary investments in the futures of Black communities in this third pandemic year.

[Brooklyn Movement Center @BKMovement]

We hope that now that the Mayor is back from the red carpet, he’ll consider these funding recommendations as we all work to end gun violence as a public health problem #InvestinBlackFutures #NoMoreBudgetViolence

[Brooklyn Movement Center @BKMovement]

Our statement today on Mayor Adams’ Met Gala appearance last night from BMC Executive Director Anthonine Pierre: Mayor Adams’ fashion proclamation last night to end gun violence uses none of his power to increase youth services in Black communities at risk of violence.

[Brooklyn Movement Center @BKMovement]

Second, a commitment to ending the structural violence that drives gun violence through future community reinvestments #InvestinBlackFutures #NoMoreBudgetViolence
