Citing rising crime in the city and using a casket as a prop, borough leaders in Brooklyn demanded money from New York City to combat gun violence.
Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, along with Councilman Jumaane Williams appeared outside Borough Hall Monday to introduce their “Take Five to Stay Alive” program for which they are seeking $10 million from City Hall to help fund. The program was debuted following a weekend that saw 22 shot in the city, three of them fatally. Nine of these were wounded at a single house party in Brooklyn.
“Our children deserve to live, our adults deserve to live. All lives matter,” Adams told reporters. “The temperature rise cannot cause a rise in gun violence.”
The Take Five program advocated by borough leaders calls for those in the community to increase the reporting of suspicious or dangerous behavior.
“Don’t call it ‘snitching;’ call it leadership,” reads a campaign poster. “Raise your voice at police precinct council meetings in your area. Volunteer your time.”
