Budgets are a moral document. When electeds choose to defund social programs it shows you precisely who and what they value, and don’t.

Won’s website says she “does not accept donations from big real estate interests or developers”. However, we know this is a lie. Real Estate Developer Elliot Park, donated $1,050 (max allowed).

✍️ Remember: you do not have to vote for someone who harms our community just because they have a (D) next to their name. You can “write-in” a candidate name of your choice when you go to vote. Whether it’s the name of a friend, activist or a community leader you respect.

So, Councilmember Julie Won (D26) just up and decided to close the Queensbridge Park bike path, thereby punishing and endangering cyclists, rather than post a few 114th Pct officers to keep cars and mopeds out?
This is disappointing.
🧵Regardless of the park lane, the fact the preceding greenway has gone completely unchecked throughout @CMJulieWon’s term despite photos to her office, 311 reports, bringing it up to the community board, endless videos here- it has been completely overrun…

Julie Won decidedly voted yes on an austerity budget that defunds social services, education and reintegration programs at Rikers Island among other things. These are all essential programs for the people of New York City. It’s clear who Julie Won does not value.

TY to CMs who voted NO to reject the Mayor's budget cuts -- & to all who fought to claw back funding for our communities! The fight for #CareNotCuts is far from over; we'll continue to fight against the Mayor's budgetary war on poor & working class people. More analysis to come.

Geeta shares why she's demanding @CMJulieWon support the #SecureJobsAct
Her husband is scared to speak about his hours being cut bc he fears being fired in retaliation--a familiar story to many
This is the current reality for so many of our community members.
The Secure Jobs Act would give workers the protection they need to speak up without the fear of losing their jobs.
