#NYCBudgetJustice Coalition Responds to FY25 Budget Vote

“The Council and New Yorkers should be commended for fighting Mayor Adam's monstrous cuts and restoring funding to some important safety infrastructure and services, such as libraries, arts and culture and affordable housing. However, it’s deeply concerning that the budget will maintain a record-breaking $12B in unchecked police spending in FY25 when redirecting some of the NYPD's bloated budget could have fully restored and baselined key city programs."

Victory! City Council Overrides Mayor Adams' Veto of Intro 586

Thanks to citywide organizing led by those most impacted by the NYPD’s abusive practices – and the leadership of City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and lead sponsors Public Advocate Jumaane Williams, Council Member Alexa Avilés and Council Member Crystal Hudson – the City Council passed the How Many Stops Act, overriding the Mayor's veto.

As of July 1st, 2024, the How Many Stops Act - now law - is in effect.
