Hey y’all,

Hope this email finds you and yours safe. I’m writing to share a report CPR released this week detailing the budget asks behind the #DefundNYPD campaign. While the topline campaign demand is $1B out of the NYPD budget in FY21, you’ll find that the report calls for over $2B in total to be reinvested in social services from policing in the NYC budget overall.

Huge shoutout to BMC Board Member James Subudhi! James really threw down here, offering up all his analytical and data skills to help CPR staff make sense of the NYPD’s opaque af budget.

In less than 24 hours, Sabine & Patrick worked to turn the report into a presentation that can be used to by us and other CPR groups to do public education about #DefundNYPD. 

It feels dope to contribute to CPR in such a huge way, so please share the report and continue to let us know if you know of organizations we can talk to about this campaign!

Peace,
Anthonine
