This is what $36M means to libraries. For context, it amounts to less than one-third of one-percent of the NYPD’s $11B budget. To say we can’t afford it insults NYers’ intelligence, in addition to threatening our communities. We absolutely cannot pass these cuts.

NYC's public libraries will face Saturday closures, restricted weekday hours, cuts to educational programs and a freeze on new branch openings under cuts proposed by Mayor Adams. nydailynews.com/news/politics/…

In 2022, NYers had to pay out $121M in NYPD misconduct settlement fees — the most in 5 years. That’s nearly 4x what the Mayor is trying to cut from libraries, forcing them to slash hours, services, & programs. I asked the PD what our tab will be this year. Watch their response.

News broke last night that NYC will pay the largest settlement for mass arrest class actions in US history. 1,350+ plaintiffs will be eligible for over $13M in compensation for the NYPD’s violations of their constitutionally-guaranteed rights to free speech and assembly. 1/4

COVID positivity is spiking in NYC. The new variants are more contagious and more vaccine-resistant than any before. And @NYCMayor is eliminating every last public health protection. This is totally unacceptable. We must protect the health of our people. It’s our job. Period.

Even though @NYCMayor says we need to defund libraries and senior centers to stay afloat, he wants to ADD officers to the largest police force in the US. It’s a vicious cycle: cut social services, violence increases, respond with more police, cut social services to afford them.

Don’t insult working New Yorkers by telling them we can’t afford their libraries, their senior centers, and the universal 3K we promised them. Not when this is still going on.

NEWS: My god. $820 million. NYC taxpayers will pay *$820 million* in just overtime for NYPD this year. Could instead house all 14,000 homeless families in NYC. Then years of rent for 7,000 families out of work & at risk of eviction. With millions left over.thecity.nyc/2023/1/12/2355…

Today is a big day. I’m introducing the Secure Jobs Act to establish protections against unfair and arbitrary firings for every worker in NYC. Wrongful terminations devastate families. They destabilize communities. That ends with this bill.

NYC Bill Would Ban Firing Most Workers Without a Good Reason
A New York City lawmaker is trying to ban most companies from firing workers without good reason, which could transform the balance of power between bosses and their employees.

We need more housing, but if landlords can just sit on stabilized units while NYers languish in shelters, clearly affordability isn’t the only requirement. We must build *social* housing, owned and controlled by the public and the people who live there.
More than 13K rent-stabilized units in NYC are sitting empty for multiple years, report finds

Governor Hochul’s callous decision to stall congestion pricing is misinformed and unacceptable.

Don’t let @NYCMayor mislead you: reducing the size and scope of NYPD and DOC *is* the pro-public safety position. It’s all about whether you care about outcomes. I explain this morning in @CityAndStateNY👇🏽

We reject @NYCMayor’s cruel, dangerous austerity budget. We reject his xenophobic rhetoric blaming his own service cuts on migrants. We reject his assault on the vital services and programs that working class NYers depend on. I’m proud to stand with my colleagues today.

Subway violence is a one-in-a-million event. As a believer in a violence-free NYC, I still think that’s one too many, but let’s not let fear-mongering politicians and corporate media outlets scare us into thinking we have a dangerous, scary public transit system.
