On June 5th Join our #NYCBudgetJustice coalition partners Dignity in Schools Campaign NY in Washington Square Park at 11 AM for a march and rally for police-free schools. 

The city budget process is underway and, with a July 1 deadline, City Hall has the choice to make police-free schools a reality for school communities this coming school year. This has been a school year unlike any other – next year must not continue to prioritize youth criminalization. We need #PoliceFreeSchools and we need it now!

On Thursday, May 20th at 7pm, CPR member Justice Committee hosts a Take Action! #DefundNYPD ~ Give That Money to Community Workshop. Join to learn from Black, Latinx, POC leaders' vision for a city that deeply invests in life sustaining resources and care- NOT policing and killer cops. Register here: bit.ly/DefundWorkshop. 

On Sunday, May 16th, join CPR member JFREJ's Freedom to Thrive campaign in 7 locations across New York City in honoring the holiday of Shavuot and fighting for community-based solutions for our collective safety instead of reliance on policing. At each location, you will learn how to be an upstander to hate violence and canvass neighborhoods in favor of investing in community alternatives to policing that don't endanger Black and Brown New Yorkers but keep ALL of us safe.

CPR member the Anti Violence Project hosts a two-part series called #Cops out of Pride: Our History, Present, and Future. The first session delves into the critical arcs of the LGBTQ+ communities’ history, including the origination of Pride from the Stonewall Riot against a police raid, growing police presence at New York Pride, and the continuous resistance of our communities against police violence and criminalization through providing safety at Pride, and more. Join them in learning about this important history to understand the present and the work needed for the future. Register here
