We already have 20 CMs signed on and are aiming for 31! 13 of those 20 sign-ons were achieved thanks to our collective's initial efforts, but we need more New Yorkers to call to get the additional 11 sign-ons. Joseph is today's priority!

![Hi there. My name is [YOUR NAME] and I am calling to ask Councilmember Joseph to sign on to Intro 953. This bill would require the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene to make medication abortion available at no cost at all of NYC’s Sexual Health Clinics.
Medication abortion is currently available at only 4 of the City’s 6 Sexual Health Clinics. The Chelsea and Corona clinics still do not provide it. Int. 953 would close this service gap by removing DOHMH’s ability to exclude particular clinics.
Patients seeking time-sensitive care through the City’s Sexual Health Clinics should not have to face hurdles. I want the City to use the full extent of its public health infrastructure to provide free abortion care. Will the councilmember co-sponsor Int. 953?](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:s7ydx6awexflozjgysqfdmlm/bafkreigb7fhu3hycqsulfbnhl22nsfmwewrvc3ni6fh3xi7wiysbb5fb6u)
![“Hi my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [neighborhood] calling to urge CM Brewer to uphold the Mayor’s veto of Intro 175-B and vote NO on any override.
If passed, 175-B would infringe on our First Amendment rights and increase police presence at any buildings where educational activities are taking place. It would harm workers’ rights to picket and force Black, brown, and immigrant students and workers into more contact with law enforcement.
Instead of this dangerous bill, I ask CM Brewer to fight for real, evidence-based solutions for safeguarding New Yorkers, such as the NYC Against Hate Violence policy platform. Please stand firm and fight for labor unions, community organizations, students, educators, and all New Yorkers who believe in our constitutional right to protest safely. I am counting on CM Brewer to vote NO on an override and uphold the Mayor’s veto of 175-B.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:s7ydx6awexflozjgysqfdmlm/bafkreiafqie7tgmktahsabe5ov5xzleilb24ilasc5gyqaxi2j4iei32zm)
![Ask State Leaders to Reject All Buffer Zone Proposals!
SCRIPT:
“I am a New Yorker calling to urge the [Governor / Speaker / Senate President] to leave the PPGG Part K “buffer zone” proposal out of the executive budget. All of the proposed buffer zone legislation would accelerate Trump’s repression of free speech. NY Democrats should be protecting our rights, not criminalizing us for exercising them. Thank you!”
