Do you know how much the #NYPD's budget has grown in recent years?
Spoiler: They were NOT defunded last year!
@NYCCouncil & @NYCMayor lied about a $1B cut using false claims of reduced overtime. The department unabashedly exceeded overtime and we're only in May. #DefundNYPD
@OSoulfinger@Kenya4ThePeople@VoteBlake40@CitizenPierre A budget moral document that describes where our priorities are a city. We need to MEANINGFULLY recalibrate the city’s money: less funds for a militarized NYPD, and more for schools, social services, and hospitals!
Violence prevention starts w/ providing adequate funding to education, affordable housing, workforce development, and other initiatives that make healthier communities. #DefundNYPD means ending economic violence experienced in Black + Brown communities.

We are excited to announce that Brooklyn Movement Center has been selected as part of the @IRLeaders, an @RWJF program for researchers and community leaders working to advance a #CultureofHealth. We will spend the next 3 years researching the impact of hyper-policing on health.
