NEW YORK CITY SAYS HANDS OFF
American cities are under attack by the Trump administration.
Instead of investing in schools, hospitals, and public services, taxpayer dollars are being spent to send National Guard troops and ICE agents into our communities — ripping families apart and targeting working people. New York City has been directly threatened.
Hands Off NYC is a coordinated effort supported by unions, faith leaders, and community groups, standing together in nonviolent resistance. Just as people in cities across the country have stood up to these attacks, we will too.
The Trump administration claims this is about “crime,” but the crime rates in each of the targeted cities have been going down, not up. What they do share is strong, multi-racial, union power — and city leadership that refuses to bow down. This is not about safety. It’s about punishing communities that fight back. We stand in solidarity with all cities that have already faced military intervention.
We believe tax dollars should strengthen schools, hospitals, and safe neighborhoods — not build detention centers and tear families apart. Occupying our cities is not “law and order,” it’s an assault on our rights and values, including our First Amendment rights to freedom of the press, to free speech, and to peaceably assemble.
We pledge to organize together, build local power, and stand in solidarity with every city facing military occupation. Our cities and our people are our greatest strength.
