Promote Equality, Justice, and Well-being for All Citizens

The recent proposal to empower police officers, despite concerns of brutality, is alarming. It is crucial to remember that the role of law enforcement should be to protect and serve all citizens, not to perpetuate fear or harm. The suggestion to allow public housing residents to purchase their homes, while seemingly beneficial, requires careful consideration to ensure it does not lead to further economic disparity. It is worth noting that crime rates in New York City are decreasing, drug overdose rates are low, and the public school system ranks seventh in the nation. Therefore, it is requested to reconsider these proposals and focus on policies that promote equality, justice, and the well-being of all citizens.
