demanding to take cops out of schools is the bare minimum, they do not keep students safe. I have seen them escalate situations & harass students. BOE doesn't care about its BlPOC students and they make it apparent in every way #NYCBudgetJustice
Defunding the police and investing in communities is public safety! @NYCSpeakerCoJo Mayor Eric Adams cmlauriecumbo this budget's way too high, you need to cut it! #NYCBudgetJustice #DefundNYPD
Thank you to Councilmembers Council Member Inez Barron, Antonio Reynoso, Jimmy Van Bramer, & Brad Lander who showed political courage in the absence of internal pressure to do so. Showing up for community day in and day out. #defundNYPD #carenotcops #NYCBudgetJustice
Heroes! Brad Lander DRichards Ben Kallos, Former NYC Council Member Carlina Rivera Helen Rosenthal Thank you for acknowledging our struggles - there are more school safety officers in schools than counselors, social workers & nurses combined. #NYCBudgetJustice #PoliceFreeSchools

We appreciate your vote against increasing #NYPD 's bloated budget, when #NYC needs investments in community-led health and safety.
#NYC BudgetJustice
Thank you, Jimmy Van Bramer, for continuing to stand up and do the right thing.
Thank you for voting “no” on the budget.
#NYCBudgetJustice
@NYCSpeakerCoJo you have failed the people of NYC with the passing of this awful budget. This won't be forgotten.
Thanks to Jimmy Van Bramer and every member that voted no. If you voted yes, you're on notice. #NYCBudget Justice #NYCBudget #DefundNYPD
Let us acknowledge some of our heroes during this difficult time - thank you Jimmy Van Bramer 🦋Carlos Menchaca 萬齊家 Antonio Reynoso & CM Barron for standing with our communities! #PoliceFreeSchools #DefundTheNYPD #Education4Liberation #NYCBudgetJustice
The deficit is huge but NYPD gets a blank check. After beating, blocking & bullying NYers for exercising their First Amendment rights? MAKE IT MAKE SENSE! This ain’t #NYCBudgetJustice SHAME Mayor Eric Adams
Of the possible 7 New York City Council members vying to be the next Speaker of the Council, 6 voted yes to support the FY21 budget, except for Carlina Rivera who voted no. That’s impressive! #DefundNYPD #NYCBudgetJustice
The police have arrived in #riot gear, prompting #protesters at #OccupyCityHallNYC to chant #Why are you in riot gear? I don’t see no riot here!” #NYCBudgetJustice
Every CM voting yes on this budget is like “advocates, Black Lives Matter protestors, we HEAR you. that’s why we’re voting for this budget that doesn’t give you what you’ve been fighting for and gaslighting you about it instead.” #NYCBudgetJustice #DefundNYPD #OccupyCityHallNYC
🧵: Today, the narrative has been that Black folks aren’t out here leading in the work—and specifically on #NYCBudgetJustice . Here are 10 Black folks whose organizing & leadership have paved the way for all the “new folks” to follow (in no particular order)...
A belated thank you. We are grateful to you Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for calling out the cruelty of city government. Our elected officials betrayed us. We mourned, we held each other close, and now we are ready to resist. Thank you for speaking truth to power. #NYCBudgetJustice #PoliceFreeSchools
This is what they do. Appx 6:30 AM, Wednesday July 1, 2020 Mayor Eric Adams @NYCSpeakerCoJo Tish James Comptroller Brad Lander Gothamist VICE #NYCBudgetJustice #OccupyCityHall #AbolishThePolice
NYC Council will be voting this week on the next budget.
Tell your City Councilmember to vote NO on a budget that increases funding for the NYPD while depriving communities of critical resources. #NYCBudgetJustice
Or maybe look right outside your door at the phenomenal #NYCBudgetJustice campaign being waged for #CareNotCuts by 100s of groups who are part of Communities United for Police Reform for the THIRD YEAR IN A ROW in the face of rampant police violence with detailed proposals changethenypd.org/nycbudgetjusti…
More than one quarter of NYC Public Schools DO NOT have & WILL NOT have a full time nurse when schools resume this fall.
The 2021 budget does not reflect the need to put the health of our children, teachers and staff first! #schoolnurses NYSNA #NYCBudgetJustice #defundnypd
I co-wrote an OPED this week based on what I know as a former youth attorney — school policing is a public health crisis & we cannot allow it to continue. citylimits.org/2021/06/18/opi… thank you ChangeLab Solutions & Thalia Gonzalez #PoliceFreeSchools #NYCBudgetJustice
How did your New York City Council member vote on the NYC budget? #NYCBudgetJustice #DefundNYPD
