OWS mayor Bloomberg cuts a discussion

Bloomberg's latest City budget proposal is another example of how he runs New York City by and for the 1%.

For the 99%, Bloomberg proposes harsh cuts to childcare, after school programs, homeless housing, libraries and firehouses.  Many neighborhoods face the elimination of all after-school programs, and City officials admit they have no real plan to deal with displaced youth or help working parents.

For the 1%, Bloomberg offers continued subsidies, special deals and giveaways, including hundreds of millions of dollars in subsidies to big banks and corporations, even if they haven't kept their job-creation promises.  No taxes on hedge fund profits, no cuts to city contracts with big banks -- it's more prosperity for them, and more austerity for us.

In the richest city in America, we don't have to put up with this.

Join us for a meeting Thursday, May 31st at 6pm to plan for a bold, vibrant day of action at the City Council's final public hearing on the city budget, to be held June 6th.
