Monday, January 23 @ 9 AM: Rally to Disband the SRG: The SRG is a violent unit of the NYPD tasked with policing protests in NYC. It brutalized NYers during the 2020 protests. With a history of racial bias, and misconduct, this militarized unit has no place in our communities. Let's call on City Council to disband it and reinvest its funds.
