Why are our crucial youth programs and community services always the first on the chopping block? We demand a $1 billion cut to the NYPD and a reinvestment in East New York through the following: - Summer Youth Employment; - College Access; - Basement Pilot Program; - Community Land Trusts; - Fresh Food Access; - REAL Affordable Housing; - afterschool, summer & youth programs;  We are here fighting for your communities, Where are you?
