New York City public school students with the Urban Youth Collaborative testified at a preliminary budget hearing calling out Mayor Eric Adams' administration as well.
This comes after they say lawmakers will be budgeting $40 million to hire more school police, $78 million to fund video surveillance and locks in schools and plan to increase armed police.
The students also shared they feel like police are a danger to young people of color.
