This video was shot yesterday, before the City Council approved the 2023 budget.
On the heels of the New York City Budget, Hawk Newsome and his sister, Chivona, tell the people that the Mayor’s new budget is anti-black, and anti-brown. Hawk said, for a mayor that won his election on the backs of the ten poorest districts in this city, his budget is anti-poor people, anti-poverty, anti-education, anti-black people and anti-brown people. “So how is it that you have black leadership for the first time, and you get a Republican budget?”
