Adams’ promises ring hollow when measured against his record
New York, NY — In response to Mayor Eric Adams’ 2025 State of the City Address today, Citizen Action’s New York City Community Organizer, Cleo Acevedo, had this to say:
“Eric Adams spent his State of the City promising to make New York City a ‘City of Yes For Families,’ but in the last 3 years of his term, we’ve seen libraries defunded, 3-K and Pre-K providers facing months of delays in payments, and a deepening of the affordability crisis that has resulted in families fleeing to suburbs and other states, all while he pours more money into policing and mass incarceration.
“We need leadership in New York who understands and will truly address the issues facing New York’s working families, someone who will stand strongly against the incoming Trump administration and won’t be distracted by their own personal interests or their indictments.”
