...Where will YOU be May 12?
Dear Lucas,
Mayor Bloomberg is making a choice. With the DRASTIC cuts in his proposed budget he is turning his back on children, seniors, the homeless, those living with HIV/AIDS -- the most vulnerable New Yorkers.
In fact Bloomberg's proposed cuts will have an immediate and negative effect on nearly all New Yorkers, except for one group, the Wall Street bankers that are responsible for the financial crisis in the first place.
While Bloomberg's proposal would have the rest of New York fighting for scraps to keep our schools, homeless shelters, firehouses and senior centers running, Wall Street banks would continue to get MILLIONS in tax breaks from the city and their CEO's giving themselves record-breaking bonuses.
Mayor Bloomberg's budget would create a New York that punishes its most vulnerable citizens for the crimes and greed of the rich.
This needs to change. And on May 12, it will.
Members from dozens of community groups and unions are coming together to tell Bloomberg: "No More Cuts - It's Time for the Big Banks and Millionaires to Pay Their Fair Share!"
And we need NYCC Members to come out strong.
