If you’re in NYC, this is the place to be next Wednesday! #CareNotCriminalization #HousingNotHandcuffs #HousingIsAHumanRight #JusticeForJordanNeely
The #NYPD is $300 million over budget this year. Public safety hasn't improved, but @NYCMayor won’t reign in the overspending. Instead, he's cutting money from schools, libraries, and social services. It's time to act! Join us at the #CareNotCriminalization March on May 24th.

In most parts of East Asia, the new year that begins on Jan. 22 corresponds to the rabbit. In Vietnam, though, it will usher in the Year of the Cat.
