The call to action as published on Oct. 20

Mamdani pledged during his campaign to disband the Strategic Response Group, and that decision is his. New Yorkers who want it made can say so through the Contact the Mayor page and to their own representative through the City Council’s district lookup, and the message is the record above: in the seven weeks the NYPD last withheld work, arrests fell 66 percent and major crime complaints fell with them. Readers in any other city where the police union has made the same threat can put the same record in front of their own mayor, and this article is free to forward to anyone who has heard that threat.
