“The police department and Mayor de Blasio’s administration have done important work keeping our city safe while helping to improve community relations and move us away from the destructive policies of the past. We must not listen to naysayers who are using fearmongering and misinformation to try to undo that progress. The facts speak for themselves: New York remains the safest large city in America. This issue is personal for us as healthcare workers, because we treat the victims of crime and are active in our neighborhoods to ensure they are safe, just and peaceful. We applaud the Administration’s hard work and vigilance, and support their continued efforts to keep crime at all-time historic lows.” George Gresham, President of 1199SEIU United Healthcare Workers East, the largest healthcare union in New York and the nation.
