Earlier this month, New York City Council Member Erik Dilan, whose council district includes parts of Bushwick, held a press conference to announce his strong commitment to the Community Safety Act. This act addresses racial profiling by the NYPD. We recently informed you that because both of the bills comprising the act were vetoed by Mayor Bloomberg in July, the Community Safety Act will have to be voted on by the City Council again with a veto-proof majority (at least 34 votes) on Thursday, August 22, in order for the bills to pass.
