Eric Adams has proven he is unfit to lead New York City. His administration has slashed vital programs, ignored the needs of working-class New Yorkers, and put political self-preservation over people’s well-being. Now, with mounting scandals and failed leadership, it’s time to say loud and clear: Eric Adams must go. New York City cannot effectively pass a budget under a mayor whose leadership is rapidly deteriorating and whose administration is losing critical public servants daily.

His budget cuts and harmful policies have devastated our communities:

Gutted 3K & early childhood programs, leaving families without childcare
Threatened K-12 education funding, denying funding to after-school and enrichment programs
Dismantled CUNY budgets, forcing class cancellations and faculty layoffs
Denied adequate funding to crisis response teams
Underfunded immigrant services & colluded with Trump’s deportation schemes

Enough is enough. That’s why we’re calling on you to join us at the FY26 People’s Budget Campaign Launch to fight for a budget with care not cuts and the removal of Eric Adams as mayor!

Join a Community Roundtable hosted by the BMT Neighbors Alliance this Tuesday, Jan 21st from 6-8 pm at the fabulous Jalopy Theatre!  Let's bring our residents and small business owners together to discuss the impact of the proposed large scale luxury development on our community and the culture of our neighborhoods. 

On Thursday January 16th, the NYC Council's - Committee on Immigration will hold a public oversight hearing on "protections for immigrant communities". New York City has a rich legislative history of limiting the interactions between federal immigration enforcement and immigrant New Yorkers. In the last decade alone, local laws were passed by the Council prohibiting New York City agencies from facilitating federal immigration enforcement actions - ensuring that immigrants are not unfairly subjected to ICE deportation and detention, maintain their right to due process, and are not fearful of interacting with city agencies. However, the result of the November election has come with growing anti-immigrant sentiment in our city, often being fueled by mischaracterizations of these protections.

We know all too well what is coming based on the harms our communities experienced during the first Trump administration, as well as the emerging threats:

• ICE abruptly detaining NY'ers at and around their homes and workplaces, outside schools and other public facilities, and at their immigration appointments; 

• NY'ers being afraid to go to places of worship, hospitals, and schools as ICE becomes emboldened with community raids; 

• Detained NY'ers being transferred far away from their homes and access to legal services; 

• An expansion of avenues to expel immigrant communities without access to due process as well as an expansion of prolonged detention; and

• “Shock and awe” enforcement tactics, including the use of military personnel to conduct widespread raids that rely on racial profiling.

Join us for our first meeting of 2025, where we will:

• Share upcoming calendar of trainings and workshops

• Introduce our newly elected Steering Committee

• Give raffle prizes to five randomly selected members who completed our end-of-year survey

• Share new resources about immigration and the norovirus.

As always, feel free to invite other domestic workers you know. See you on Sunday!

Únase a nosotros en nuestra primera reunión de 2025, donde:

• Comparte el próximo calendario de capacitaciones y talleres

• Presentamos a nuestro Comité Directivo recién elegido

• Entregue premios de la rifa a cinco miembros seleccionados al azar que completaron nuestra encuesta de fin de año.

• Compartir nuevos recursos sobre la inmigración y el norovirus.

Como siempre, no dudes en invitar a otras trabajadoras domésticas que conozcas. ¡Nos vemos el domingo!
