On June 23, 2020 YJPU and Partners rallied to pressure the City Council to defund the police and invest in Black and Brown communities.
Along with our partner groups, we called on the City Council to vote NO on the budget on June 24 to force Mayor Marty Walsh to give a new budget. We held a rally and blocked an intersection for 2 hours to pressure City Council to do the right thing.
