We all have a stake in the New York City budget, and the Mayor’s proposal for the next fiscal year fails to make bold investments in housing, education, mental health and healthcare, services for young people, immigrants and LGBTQIA+ New Yorkers, transportation and other public infrastructure that we know can create real safety for all New Yorkers. Instead Mayor Adams wants to solve all of NYC’s problems with more police and criminalization, letting funding for care and services dry up. We can't allow that.
On May 24th, a huge coalition of organizations fighting for a broad range of issues are collaborating on the Care, Not Criminalization march. SURJ partners like Communities United for Police Reform and the Alliance for Quality Education are working together with other grassroots orgs like VOCAL-NY, the Campaign to Close Rikers, the People’s Plan NYC, and many more to fight back against Mayor Adams’ austerity budget.
Join SURJ NYC at the Care, Not Criminalization March next Wednesday May 24th at 5pm to fight back against Mayor Adams’ austerity budget. We’ll gather at 5pm at the south end of Foley Square, next to the subway stairs.
Sign up here to let us know you’re coming!
In solidarity,
SURJ NYC
