We knew that this city could not continue a norm of dramatically underfunding, and in some years simply not funding at all, youth services and activities. We see it every day. Dedicating just 2%-3% of Poughkeepsie’s budget to young people would have increase funding from $140,000 in 2021 to $2-$3 MILLION in 2022. Hundreds of you in the City of Poughkeepsie joined us in imagining the possibilities and LET YOUR VOICE BE HEARD! - and we got a lot of what we asked for! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e76a32f95192331c3d7b3e1/1633153735195-O092ZXH7HAMJZYR4Y927/unsplash-image-faEfWCdOKIg.jpg Home - S8223: The Equitable NY Act EF’s on-going initiative to ensure passage of the Equitable NY Act, which aims to render current employment discrimination laws more effective by providing transparency and an understanding of rights to the average worker. It's also designed to keep taxpayer dollars out of the hands of employers who perpetuate discrimination against vulnerable groups by empowering the victims to respond. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e76a32f95192331c3d7b3e1/1633157937135-8AQP6BVLPXA3O6Q6TFLW/unsplash-image-cS2eQHB7wE4.jpg Home - Civilian Oversight of Police Concurrent with national outrage and protests in the aftermath of the murder of George Floyd, EF was asked to draft legislation to establish a Civilian Review Board (CRB) in the City of Poughkeepsie. By coming together with community groups and prominent agents of change in Poughkeepsie as well as recognized experts in the subject from outside of Poughkeepsie, priorities were identified that would be incorporated into the legislative text. The legislation leverages circumstances unique to the City of Poughkeepsie that allow for an entity other than the police department to initiate disciplinary action against law enforcement officers. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e76a32f95192331c3d7b3e1/1633157955932-YTFVQXJ6GXUEYY8HCTC5/unsplash-image-AwZ5ECLHRtQ.jpg Home - Leading the EO203 Response On June 12, 2020, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo signed Executive Order 203, requiring local governments in New York State to adopt community-driven police reforms. Recognizing that local government and the police department had failed to reinvent policing in Poughkeepsie for over half a century, EF formed a coalition that tapped into a recognition of the need for change more broadly and would ultimately become the Poughkeepsie Community Action Collaborative (PCAC). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e76a32f95192331c3d7b3e1/1633157861624-5W64JCC3MZC9D3ELADEL/unsplash-image-jhHrcjVNAp8.jpg Home - Covid-19 in NYS Prisons The first crisis we addressed was the COVID-19 pandemic. EF published regular reports and analyses concerning COVID-19 in NYS prisons. In addition to being publicly disseminated, these reports were given attention by NYS legislative staff and elected officials. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e76a32f95192331c3d7b3e1/1633159683205-TYXH14LX8KPMS98C6S6L/unsplash-image-h1ShPXfHbTw.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e76a32f95192331c3d7b3e1/1633163105905-D9RY7GUKO8ET2RFNYYP7/pcac+graph.PNG Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e76a32f95192331c3d7b3e1/1633163858993-APL0ZYZ6XOLWCD404MFU/unsplash-image-2qzZubxw7WE.jpg Home https://www.equitablefuture.org/action-alert-1 daily 0.75 2021-11-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e76a32f95192331c3d7b3e1/065c2254-4a3f-4a8f-9120-5c39f10e7ee8/PKBudget2022.PNG Action Alert: Youth Funding in Poughkeepsie - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.equitablefuture.org/advocacy daily 0.75 2022-02-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e76a32f95192331c3d7b3e1/2312ac91-6422-4243-bf8e-8aea0ac35964/unsplash-image-va-B5dBbpr4.jpg Advocacy - Our Advocacy Work There are ideas that live in the minds of a great number of people, and they reside in many of those minds unknowingly. Our mission isn’t to target the people these ideas reside in, but to target the ideas themselves. Above all we target the idea that race, gender, orientation, disability and age determine capability and value. The unarmed truth is very simple: these trivial facets have nothing to do with a person’s potential impact on the world, and it is not acceptable to suppress the character and capability of others based on uncontrollable and inconsequential qualities. True understanding and willful change come by way of measurable facts and compelling stories. Minds are transformed through love and persuasion, awareness and erudition, art and knowledge. We act now and we act together in the hope that one day every individual’s character, capability and drive will be the sole determinants of their future. https://www.equitablefuture.org/landing daily 1.0 2020-09-01 https://www.equitablefuture.org/acomplishments daily 0.75 2022-02-04 https://www.equitablefuture.org/community-organizing daily 0.75 2022-08-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e76a32f95192331c3d7b3e1/1928072a-ea15-4ed3-a0bf-43580324ad0d/unsplash-image-wx0EdJSWULQ.jpg Community Organizing - Community Organizing There are ideas that live in the minds of a great number of people, and they reside in many of those minds unknowingly.
