NYC Action Alert! Rally to Urge Council to Restore ATI/Reentry Funds
Last Chance to Make Our Voice Heard on the New York City Budget!
As many of you know, members of the New York ATI/Reentry Coalition have sustained devastating cuts in city funding over the past few years, even as our crucial work has helped to make our communities safer while saving millions of taxpayer dollars.
Now, the City Council has concluded its budget hearings and is working on the budget for the 2012 fiscal year, due June 30. This means time is running out for us to persuade them to restore critical funding for ATI/Reentry programs in New York City.
That's where you come in: Teaming up with city officials who believe in the importance of our work, the coalition is holding a rally and press conference on the steps of City Hall on Monday, June 13. Please join us in taking a stand for ATI/Reentry!
Rally details:
- When: Monday, June 13, at 11:45 a.m.
- Where: City Hall steps (see map)
- Featured guests: Councilwoman Elizabeth Crowley, Brooklyn District Attorney Charles J. Hynes
- More details to come
Now, more than ever, ATI/Reentry programs need to be a priority for a "smart on crime" future in New York City. Please join us (and spread the word!) in telling the Council that cuts to our programs now will only cost the city more later -- in dollars and in public safety.
