48 Hours Til the FY21 Deadline: What You Need To Know. (thread) #DefundNYPD #BudgetJustice
What's the current situation with the NYC budget?
Mayor de Blasio has not given any specific numbers about his commitment to 'shift' fudning- he has only rejected the call for defunding the NYPD by $1B from members of City Council. Negotiations continue behind closed doors.

What should I be doing right now?
KEEP CONTACTING THE MAYOR, THE SPEAKER, AND YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBER! Demand that they not only support $1B out of the NYPD, but that they will VOTE NO on any budget that does NOT include defunding NYPD by at least $1 billion.

What happens on or after June 30th?
There is a real chance that this stalemate will extend beyond the deadline. Possible outcomes include negotiations continuing for several days after June 30th or Speaker Johnson requesting a formal extension. This fight continues after June 30

My Council Member is in support of #DefundNYPD by $1B, should I keep contacting them?
YES. As deadlines loom, it's easy to change positions in the name of "negotiation" and we must hold our electeds accountable. Keep them committed to $1B.

My Council Member is not in support of #DefundNYPD by $1B - what do I do?
Find the date of when they're up for re-election and let them know it's in your calendar. And keep contacting the Mayor and Speaker Johnson.
