4:08:03
You know, we are behind.
4:08:05
Right?

We should not be where we are.
4:08:06
We should have funded CCHR last year, but it is not yet too late for New York City to take decisive steps to protect vulnerable populations that have already been targeted by the federal administration.

And so we really you know, the city should fund the commission at the level commensurate with its heightened import immediately.

And we look forward to working with you and other council members to make sure that it's you know, that sort of key juncture that CCHR sits at is is clear to everyone.
4:08:37

Not funding it is really a disservice to all New Yorkers, and we look forward to working together on this.
