The Rev. Al Sharpton has called for an emergency meeting of New York City and state leaders to discuss how the city will address the looming federal corruption charges against Mayor Eric Adams. Sharpton, a longtime ally of Adams, emphasized the importance of due process for the mayor while also addressing the concerns of Black and Brown residents who make up two-thirds of the city's population.
“I have called an emergency meeting of New York City and state leaders in the next few days to discuss how we collectively address this situation,” the longtime Adams ally and civil-rights leader told The Post.
At Saturday’s weekly National Action Network rally in Harlem, Sharpton said he hoped to convene the meeting with city and state leaders next week and reach a “united point of view.”Departing NYC schools chancellor David Banks admits Eric Adams might not stay mayor following indictment
