City Views

Opinions on Policy and Politics

 

Opinion: Dismantle ICE and Reimagine an Inclusive Immigration System
We joined in a collective exhale when the Supreme Court temporarily stopped Trump’s rescinding of DACA. But the celebration didn’t last very long.

Opinion: The Crisis in Immigrant Health is Far from Over
This unprecedented public health crisis has further illuminated existing discrimination and inequities in access to medical care, especially for one community disproportionately impacted by COVID-19: immigrants.

Opinion: Time to Fire NYC’s Bad Cops
A radical restructuring of police discipline – one that removes the NYPD from the process entirely – is vital. There are steps the City Council can take right away to insert real accountability into the law.

Opinion: The Press is Stoking Fears of a Phantom Child-Abuse Crisis
Understanding that Black Lives Matter and that the taking of Black lives by police needs to stop, efforts toward decarceration and ending police violence should include stopping the destruction of Black families.

Opinion: Mayor de Blasio, Protect Funding for Victims of Domestic Violence
The leaders of organizations that serve thousands of New York’s survivors of gender-based violence, we’re looking to see how Mayor de Blasio allocated the city’s budget at the most critical moment of his administration.

Opinion: Ageism and Racism are Twin Evils That NYers Must Defeat
The mountains of ageism, racism and sexism were always too high of a climb for the city to adequately fund services for the fastest growing segment of our population, those 60 and older. However, the city must change things.
