New York, NY-- This morning, Council Member Ydanis Rodriguez will be joined by the Move the Money Coalition, comprised of Veterans for Peace Chapter 34-NYC, Brooklyn for Peace, U.S. Labor Against the War - NYC Chapter, Domestic Workers United, Queens Peace Council, New York State Peace Action, and members of Judson Memorial Church, CODEPINK, plus more, to urge Members of Congress and the federal government to move significant funds from the military budget to human needs and services. Municipalities rely on federal grants and discretionary funds to operate a multitude of City programs from our public schools to healthcare services to public housing to investments in infrastructure.  Council Member Rodriguez recently introduced Resolution 747  to reduce the amount of federal funding allocated to defense spending and focuses on how the federal defense budget restricts local spending on essential social and public services in the City of New York.
