Too many politicians have lost sight of what our communities actually want and need when it comes to safety.

@replsimon.bsky.social sets the record straight: we should invest in things like mental health treatment, education, food security, and better policing. #NN25 @netrootsnation.bsky.social

Asm. Zohran Mamdani and former Asm. Michael Blake addressed how police can’t serve as the one-size-fits-all solution for public safety.

Investing in mental health support, for example, helps take the burden off of police so they can focus on the most serious crimes.

Safety is the top priority for New Yorkers in this year’s mayoral election.

But voters deserve better than more “tough on crime” rhetoric from candidates. They want real, comprehensive solutions to improve community safety.
