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.

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.

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)
