#PeoplesBudgetNYC #CareNotCuts

The Trump administration is hellbent on making NY sicker, hungrier, and less safe, all while giving billionaires a tax break.

We're joining @cmartinezclass.bsky.social and @investinourny.bsky.social calling on NY lawmakers to call a special session and pass the New York for All Act.

As a candidate Eric Adams promised to dedicate 1% of the city budget to NYC parks.

As mayor he screwed over the parks department and the workers that run it for 3 years straight.

Adam Ganser from @ny4p.bsky.social on how we can win back the green spaces NYers deserve.

For 3 years, @nycprogressives.bsky.social & @council.nyc.gov have been fighting just to undo #EricAdams’ cuts — to schools, libraries, CUNY, & more.

Now CMs say the process is broken & NYC needs to reform/rebalance it to serve/protect NYers & our $.

We agree! Watch ⬇️ #CareNotCuts #NYCBudgetJustice

Excellent strategy begins with an accurate assessment of conditions; this year, @peoplesplannyc.bsky.social really hit the mark.

Back in August, the coalition's steering committee orgs rightly anticipated that the best way to affect the outcome of the city budget would be via the mayoral primary. 🧵

Because most of @peoplesplannyc.bsky.social's steering committee consists of orgs with related entities that can engage in elections, the coalition's individual steering committee orgs shifted their focus to electoral intervention.

The results:

1️⃣ Restoration of most of the funding for popular programs Eric Adams had cut when he took office, plus some new investments;

AND

2️⃣ The strengthening of @peoplesplannyc.bsky.social as the primary coalition building inside-outside co-governing power in NYC.

We thank the @council.nyc.gov for their tireless advocacy on behalf of New Yorkers and for their work to win all of these investments for our communities. And special thanks to the @nycprogressives.bsky.social for their work to secure funds for crisis services and safety programs. #CareNotcuts

ENOUGH. We’re fed up with an undemocratic & unfair budget process that steamrolls NYers. Next up: STRUCTURAL CHANGE.
We’ll be organizing for reform to rebalance budget power & ensure services aren’t at the mercy of rogue & unaccountable politicians like Eric Adams ever again.

Let’s be clear:
Eric Adams doesn’t get credit for fixing what he broke.
He made these cuts against the will of the Council and the people of NYC. (3/5)

Our organizing worked. We won: ⬇️
✅ $93M for education programs 🎒
✅ $110M in CUNY restorations 🎓
✅ $222M for childcare/3-K 🍼
✅ $61M for immigrant legal services 📒
✅ $34M for peer-led crisis care & safety 🦺

Here's a longer video of Brad Lander's detention just now inside 26 Federal Plaza as he tried to walk a man out of immigration court, by masked federal agents.

URGENT: comptroller & mayoral candidate Brad Lander was just arrested doing a court watch shift with JFREJ & is being held. If you can, head to 26 Federal Plaza, we're demanding his release & shining a light on ICE's violence. JFREJers are on the ground. We will send more updates as we know them.
