On May 19, 2004, led by Council Member Bill Perkins of the 9th District in Manhattan, the New York City Council introduced Resolution 367 in support of the Peace Tax Fund Bill. The resolution affirms the rights of conscientious objectors to have "alternative service for their drafted dollars." New York City is the first locality to propose such a resolution.
