Greater NYC for Change is proud to be on board the On May 12 campaign! Mayor Bloomberg’s cutting funding to dozens of services relied upon by low income and working New Yorkers, while the Big Banks get bailouts and tax breaks, and their CEO’s give themselves record-setting bonuses. Enough is enough – it’s time for them to pay their fair share. The question is – where will YOU be on May 12?

From Wisconsin to Wall Street, people are joining together in an uprising for economic justice.

The Big Banks crashed our economy, destroying jobs, foreclosing on millions of homes and wrecking cities and states budgets across the country. After trillions in taxpayer funded bailouts, Wall Street is making billions in profits and giving away record bonuses to CEOs – not a single one of whom has ever been prosecuted or held accountable for the economic crimes they committed.

From Bed-Stuy to the Bronx, our communities are hurting. Here in New York City, tens of thousands have lost their homes and their jobs. Now, Billionaire Mayor Mike Bloomberg is proposing devastating budget cuts as the only solution to the economic crisis that Wall Street caused. Thousands of teachers could be laid off. Childcare and senior centers could be closed down while our homeless shelters are overwhelmed. All while our subways, schools, and parks decay.

At the same time, Mayor Bloomberg is pushing for more tax cuts for the wealthy and giving away billions to Wall Street in corporate welfare, bogus property tax exemptions, and sweetheart deals. Enough is enough.

From Wisconsin to Wall Street, regular people are fighting back.
