33 NYC grassroots, advocacy & legal orgs have signed a letter denouncing @NYCMayor’s plans for a $225M mega-police training facility that would entrench NYPD practices of over-policing & criminalization across 18 city agencies: https://t.co/4NNKcqGy5N #StopCopCityNYC #NYCBudget

[Jeff Coltin @JCColtin]

“We will not stand for any cuts to anything. And we are here to say stop Cop City as well,” says @AQE_NY’s Zakiyah Shaakir-Ansari with the #CareNotCuts coalition. “Since entering office Mayor Adams has cut the budget seven times!”

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Banning masks has nothing to do with preventing crime. Japan has one of the lowest crime rates in the world, and everyone there wears a mask regularly.

[Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell) @JPHilllllll]

Oh my god @JFREJNYC has a life sized Eric Adams cutout at the Brooklyn library and kids are asking him why it’s closed. Adams is cooked.

[Emily Gallagher @EmilyAssembly]

Wealthy opponents tried to defeat us because I wouldn’t fold on McGuinness. Then outside money flooded in, hoping to take out an enemy of corporate power in Albany. I won >75% of the vote.

Finish the redesign, @NYCMayor.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

NY Governor Hochul is not only banning masks, she is ending sick leave for COVID. Shame. https://t.co/Tc5QIH6y4q

[Sandy Nurse @SandyforCouncil]

I understand it’s sensational because of the Mayoral race, but it’s wild how Politico took an issue being almost exclusively fought for by women and women of color in the Council and made it about men. https://t.co/obrvdYbbnV

[ACT UP NY @actupny]

🧵THREAD: ACT UP NY firmly stands against any legislative action banning masks, including State Assembly bill A10057, State Senate bill S9687, & any as-of-yet proposals. Proponents of these bills say immunocompromised people shouldn't be gathering in large crowds at a protest.

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

In response to Governor Hochul's and Mayor Adams's push to ban masks, @NYCDykeMarch has updated its policies to require masks.

[Advocates for Children of New York @AFCNewYork]

Every child should have access to high-quality early childhood education, including children with disabilities and children from immigrant families.

[Communities United for Police Reform @changethenypd]

🚨ACTION ALERT🚨: @NYCMayor wants to expand already bloated NYPD spending. Click to email your council member to demand @NYCCouncil take action for #NYCBudgetJustice and invest in services that truly benefit our communities instead: https://t.co/BQth8WA8QH #CareNotCriminalization

[kenny f baby @deadkndy]

interviewed tajh for a assignment on disciplinary practices in schools. they’re cool people and an important advocate for blk & brwn kids in nyc. some of the stuff they shared shows me exactly why nyc doe was probably chomping at the bit to clear them out from their position.

[PSPNYINC @pspnyinc]

We are extremely disappointed and disturbed by the decision of @DOEChancellor to remove 1 of the best CEC presidents to ever hold the seat. @council_14 has been an excellent CEC & this removal is disrespectful to their tireless free labor for their public school communities

[The People’s Plan @PeoplesPlanNYC]

“W/ days left before budget vote, @NYCMayor hasn’t budged on his✂️s. @NYCCouncil, we support you in whatever you must do, whatever tools you must use, to win a #PeoplesBudget. Whether you negotiate w the mayor or amend the budget, we’re behind you. But we’re tired of his games.”

[Advocates for Children of New York @AFCNewYork]

Proud to stand with our allies this morning to call on @NYCMayor to invest in early childhood education! The final budget must include $$ for 3-K and pre-K, preschool special education classes & services, and Promise NYC.

[DRUM #CeasefireNow @DesisRisingUp]

⚡️Act now!⚡️

Call on the @NYCCouncil to act for #NYCBudgetJustice! NYC must invest in communities, NOT expand the $12B NYPD budget.

▶️▶️▶️ Cut #NYPD’s press budget by 50%, remove NYPD from mental health response, #DisbandSRG, and block the creation of NY Cop City

[Zohran Kwame Mamdani @ZohranKMamdani]

Mayor Adams has raised the rent for 2M+ rent-stabilized New Yorkers every chance he’s gotten.

I was arrested last week protesting as the Rent Guidelines Board held a sham hearing to rubber-stamp Mayor Adams’ third consecutive rent hike on working class New Yorkers.

[Joo-Hyun ([email protected]) @JooHyun_Kang]

Damning exposé of dangerous & growing police impunity under Eric Adams & how NYPD is blocking/burying discipline cases against cops who drag women by their hair, choke & brutalize NYers.

MUST read by @ericuman in this joint NYT/ProPublica piece https://t.co/6vDw2Ed7pW

[Phara Souffrant Forrest @phara4assembly]

Yesterday @MTA notified us that due to @GovKathyHochul 's attack on congestion pricing, they will not be moving forward w/ an elevator at Nostrand Ave, which serves over 35k people a day and connects to the LIRR. My constituents in Bed-Stuy & Crown Heights deserve better.
