Williams: “Anecdotal evidence has suggested a work slowdown for several weeks now. The rumored slowdown implemented by some officers in retaliation for reforms, including those signed as recently as two days ago, is simply irresponsible.”

Williams: “We cannot grow numb to the headlines on our screens or the violence in our streets. This cannot be considered normal, in our city or anywhere. It must shock us, and shock us into action.”

Williams: “We hear unhelpful and unconfirmed accusations and reasonings for this violence…To blame budget reallocations, bail reforms, or banning chokeholds is a false narrative.”

[COVID-19\Cure Violence Groups]
Williams: “Our office has led the call…in pushing, for the city to move away from a law-enforcement centered response and to employ a grassroots, community-driven approach… encouraging social distancing- specifically by utilizing the existing Cure Violence Model.”

[NYC Homelessness]
Williams: “The executive budget also includes $60 million in cuts to the Department of Homeless Services…I find this ironic and alarming given the need to isolate homeless individuals to stop the spread of COVID-19.”

[Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams\Rent Relief]
Williams: “I have long joined tenants in urging protections and relief, and I have seen rents continue to rise, forcing New Yorkers out of their homes. The affordable housing and homelessness crisis is now compounded exponentially with the COVID-19 crisis.”
