Opinion: Local Dems Say ‘No’ To Props. 2-6

There is a lot at stake this election cycle, and that includes right here in New York City. In addition to the federal election and down-ballot races, New Yorkers will have the opportunity to vote on six ballot proposals in November. The first, Proposition 1, would amend the state constitution to guarantee reproductive rights, which we all support. The other proposals, 2-6, we are urging all voters to reject for what they are: deceptive and harmful efforts to rewrite the City Charter — the equivalent of New York City’s constitution — in order to strip decision-making power from New Yorkers and city council.
