U.S : Take action to #DefundNYPD, one week before the NYC budget passes !

Dear friend,

Across the country we’ve witnessed the growth of a powerful movement to defund the police and reinvest in Black and Brown communities. In New York City, we’ve made our demand clear : no budget without defunding the $6 billion NYPD budget by at least $1 billion this year.

Click here to RSVP for an upcoming action at City Hall  - Join in-person or online!

The City’s budget will be passed on June 30th. That means we are running out of time to dramatically reduce the NYPD budget by at least $1 billion and invest in housing, healthcare, social services, and education. We need all hands on deck now.

On Tuesday, June 23rd at 5PM - the day of the primary election and exactly one week before the budget passes - we’re taking action to make sure the Mayor and City Council know New Yorkers will no longer accept a budget that prioritizes the militarization and power of police over the needs of Black and Brown communities.

What : Occupy City Hall to #DefundNYPD by at least $1 Billion & Invest in Communities

When : Tuesday, June 23rd @ 5PM
Where : City Hall (Meet at Chambers & Center Street)

Click here to RSVP and join us on Tuesday, June 23rd (after you VOTE)!

On June 23rd, GO VOTE and then show up at City Hall at 5PM (or join us online) ! Please bring masks and a commitment to personal steps to reduce the spread of COVID-19. We will provide masks for those who need them.

In solidarity,

Jawanza.
