No Buffer Zones: Sustain the Veto
Wednesday, May 20 | City Hall, Manhattan
The Mayor vetoed Intro 175-B. Now we need the City Council to hold the line.
Join us on May 20 — the last scheduled Council meeting before the deadline — to make sure our elected officials hear us loud and clear: #NoTo175B.
What's at Stake
Intro 175-B would require the NYPD to create protest buffer zones around any "educational or training facility" — a definition so broad it could apply to universities, museums, libraries, and teaching hospitals. Nearly a dozen unions have sounded the alarm. Reproductive rights groups, immigration advocates, and civil liberties organizations across the city oppose it.
Mayor Mamdani vetoed it. But Council Speaker Menin is working to flip votes and override that veto. We have to stop her.
