No need to worry.

Everything will be defunded due to Covid 19.

I believe, if my history research serves me right, everything was defunded in NYC in the 1970's/1980's.

I am also aware, from reading about it, what NYC was like in those defunded days.

 "Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Those who do not remember their past are condemned to repeat their mistakes. Those who do not read history are doomed to repeat it. Those who fail to learn from the mistakes of their predecessors are destined to repeat them."

It's time to defund the police. Money needs to be spent on education, healthcare, mental health, and revitalizing our communities. We don't need militarized police departments anymore.

Why will everything be de-funded, and what do you base that on?

Virus Forces a ‘Wartime’ Budget on N.Y.C., With $2 Billion in Cuts
With the city projecting a $7.4 billion loss in tax revenue, municipal services that “can’t be a priority right now” are being slashed, Mayor de Blasio said.

the most recent NYC budget was a hair under $90 billion. $2 billion in cuts is not inconsiderable, but it's hardly a doomsday budget.

NPR reports an across the board up to 20% cut in the budget for NYC.
$13 Billion shortfall.

Defunding will happen...
