Our work was covered in the GothamGazette and NY County Politics : GothamGazette: Dermot Shea's Rocky First Year as NYPD Commissioner "Eileen Maher, a community leader at advocacy group VOCAL-NY, said flatly, “I just think he's doing a terrible job.” But she also blamed the mayor for enabling the commissioner and the NYPD to act with impunity. “There's definitely this kind of sense or aura of ‘we only answer to ourselves, and basically the mayor or anybody else, they don't matter...The next mayor is definitely gonna have to step in and curb the authority of the commissioner.”
NY County Politics: Advocacy Groups Call on Cuomo to Tax the Rich for a Green New Deal “It’s inspiring to see so many people out here – in this weather, in this city, in this time – standing outside of perhaps one of the most powerful people on the planet, Jeff Bezos,” said Jawanza James Williams, Director of Organizing at Vocal New York. “The actual constituent of Governor Cuomo, because obviously, it’s not us. [...] In 2020, the world has changed, the world that we knew is gone, and it’s gone forever. So in 2021, what we want to see, what we want to have happen, is we want to have millionaires and billionaires actually pay the money that we need to fund the kinds of initiatives that will reverse the harms of climate change. If we do not pass a green new deal – if we do not continue to do what has to happen – there will be no world at all.”
