"It doesn't really mean that [the mayor's] going to plant more trees or actually have more employment for folks to help clean up the park," Silva said. "He wants to use this ballot measure to have the power to kick out our houseless folks - folks that don't have anywhere to sleep and are just resting on the bench. [He wants to] put more policing there, and that's 'cleaning the parks' for him, or removing our street vendors, who just want to make a living."
"Vote Yes for Prop One!" and "Defend Democracy in NYC" were the messages plastered on the banners as volunteers engaged the community to support vital protections for vulnerable populations.
