Want to take action to defund police and reinvest into communities? Join the text-bank this Tuesday to support CPR member VOCAL-NY's campaign to defund law enforcement and direct billions of dollars to critical New York needs like housing and healthcare. Police violence has plagued protests from Buffalo to Brooklyn, injuring and incarcerating thousands. Sadly, this is nothing new for communities of color. To care for all New Yorkers, we must dramatically decrease police budgets and reinvest that money into critical community needs like ending homelessness and providing services and care to people in need.

Join the Text-Bank, also supported by People's Action Institute, to reach out to tens of thousands of people and move them to take action. VOCAL-NY will train together and then text-bank side by side over Zoom to the tunes providing by an amazing DJ!

On Wed. June 3rd, CPR members Audre Lorde Project and the New York City Anti-Violence Project host a #KnowYourRights w/ NYPD During #COVID-19 workshop.
 
While New York deals with the COVID-19 pandemic, New Yorkers still have rights when it comes to interactions with police officers. As things continue to change, including city & state orders and enforcement around social distancing, it is more important than ever for all of us to stay updated on our rights and learn how to exercise them as safely as possible, recognize when they have been violated, and know what to do about it. Space is limited.
 
Register to learn what your rights are: https://alp.org/events/know-your-right-police-during-covid

"From Minneapolis to NYC, police continue to brutalize Black and Brown people. Meanwhile, Mayor de Blasio and City Council plan to give the NYPD $6 billion while social services are facing budget cuts and our communities are starved of resources." 

Join CPR member VOCAL NY, their leaders, and members to address the brutal abuse our community has been experiencing at the hands of NYPD.The COVID-19 pandemic is being used as a means to enforce current day “stop and frisk” brutal and demoralizing arrests primarily of black people in poor black communities across NYC. We have to PUSH BACK!

We need resources not more policing! #NYCBudgetJustice
