Testimony at New York City Council Budget Hearing

On Wednesday, May 24th, RJI’s Senior Coordinator of Training and Youth Programming, Anooj Bhandari, testified at a New York City Council budget hearing. The hearing (held via videoconference) began at 10:00AM and public testimony stretched late into the night. Anooj described the night as “stressful” and repetitive testimony about police abuse as “heartbreaking.” Some of the young people said that they had to miss their final exams in order to testify.
