NEXT EVENT:
UES For Black Lives Matter
September 9 at 7pm, Carl Shurz Park, 86th & East End
The Trump Trap and the BLMGNY Solution
The time is now for Mayor DeBlasio and the City Council to step up to the plate and make history with a community centered approach to public safety.
​
The activist, the public, nor the police are happy with the state of policing in NYC. Donald Trump is trying to scare Americans into voting for him by portraying all protesting as violence and anarchy, which is far from the truth.
Leadership for all sides should step up now and work for a constructive solution.
The time is now.

Inaction from the government is leaving our most vulnerable left to fend for themselves. Not on our watch! This past month we’ve been doing wellness checks and grocery/medication deliveries to elders who can’t come outside.
