SHHHHH! We are in the LIBRARY📚! On a SUNDAY! Eric Adams cut NYC library funding for years leading to reduced hours. Our coalition and the City Council fought back, and didn't just restore funding, but expanded Sunday service to branches in every borough.

@peoplesplannyc.bsky.social cohered the Left's successful effort to restore most of the budget cuts Eric Adams imposed upon taking office. The next phase in NYC budget organizing is to change the process itself. Key to this change is more transparency, as @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social makes clear.

What if we told you no 1 knows *exactly* what’s in NYC’s $116B budget other than #EricAdams & his budget office? That’s by design & Adams has been using it to cut services & hide NYPD overspending since day 1. Watch our convo w/ @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social on why tran$parency matters. #CareNotCuts

Fellow New Yorkers, get ready to join the campaign to #TaxTheRich. Coming soon to everyone's State Assembly & Senate districts...

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. #EricAdams #CareNotCuts

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. bsky.app/profile/peop...

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. (4/5)

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 🦺 ✅ $2M to expand 7-day library service 📚 #CareNotCuts (2/5)

In this week's issue: Is it possible to overhaul the budget AND get rid of Eric Adams at the same time? The @peoplesplannyc.bsky.social has an idea, as @vksmith.bsky.social reports nygroove.nyc/peoples-plan...

🚨Today at noon at Hakeem Jeffries’ office🚨 Stand up to Trump, and Remove Eric Adams www.mobilize.us/fww/event/75...

“If the city fails to act this year, it will send an unmistakable message to public defenders and the New Yorkers they serve that their rights to due process, family integrity, safety, and freedom are not valued.” bit.ly/42ZL0cE

#PeoplesBudget rally crowd growing by the minute. @nywfp.bsky.social @freedomagendany.bsky.social @aqeny.bsky.social #FundCUNY

No more fake austerity! No collaboration with ICE and the Trump regime. A #peoplesbudget prioritizes education K-CUNY, mental health services, housing-first policies, and immigrant protections. It reject the cuts and handcuffs backed by Mayor Adams. #CareNotCuts

Shame on Mayor Adams for his self-serving failures of leadership and for his $95 million in cuts to CUNY community colleges. We're standing with The People’s Plan to demand a #PeoplesBudget!
