Our city faces interrelated crises from COVID-19, mass unemployment, and continued systemic racism. Yet the proposed City budget includes massive cuts to critical services, including over $2 billion in cuts to education and over $1 billion in cuts to affordable housing, while barely touching the police budget. Take action with NYLPI and our allies and call on our Council Members and Mayor to deliver budget justice – reallocating part of the ballooning NYPD budget to invest in core services for communities instead. 

Email the Mayor, your Council Member, and members of the City Council Budget Negotiating Team to shift at least $1 billion from the enormous NYPD budget to the social services, environmental, education, and health programs that our City needs now more than ever.

Take action here.
