Enough Corruption! Eric Adams Must GO.
Eric Adams was already under indictment for multiple counts of corruption. He has now gone to a new depth of corruption, cozying up with Trump to have the Department of Justice drop charges.
He is not fit to serve as Mayor—and he must resign or be removed.

Why is this important?
It takes a lot for federal investigators to indict a sitting mayor, especially one of a city as large as New York. But Eric Adams's web of corruption won him the distinction of being indicted on federal charges—as many of his closest advisers have stepped down amid more and more evidence of widespread criminal activity.
However, Eric Adams made a deal with the devil—he cozied up to Donald Trump and, sure enough, Trump's DOJ has directed federal prosecutors to drop the charges.
He has escaped accountability for corruption ... by doubling down on corruption!
What did he promise Trump? Already city agencies are receiving new instructions about how to interact with ICE detentions. In what ways will the mayor sacrifice his city and its residents to pay back this debt? We may never know—but we do know we can't trust Adams to have anyone's interests but his own at heart.
We can't afford to wait and let Adams do more damage to our city and to further Trump's agenda as part of his corrupt bargain. We need to act NOW.
Adams got his get-out-of-jail-free card. He should use it and remove himself from public office. If he won't, then other elected officials need to begin proceedings to remove him from office.
New York City deserves better.
