A Queens pol is demanding the City Council stop funding a progressive advocacy group that’s pocketed millions of dollars in taxpayer funds after a convicted sex offender representing the nonprofit went into a racist tirade against Asians during a public hearing.

“VOCAL-NY is a recipient of taxpayer dollars from the City, and as such, I believe that the City Council should hold it to a higher standard,” Councilman Robert Holden (D-Queens) wrote in a letter Friday to Council Speaker Adrienne Adams.

“They have received nearly $3 million since 2014. We cannot allow taxpayer dollars to be used to fund groups that engage in such radical and deplorable rhetoric.”

Douglas Powell, an ex-con affiliated with Vocal-NY, spouted his racist hate while testifying for more than three minutes at a hearing Thursday before the Council’s Committee on Civil Rights in support of a controversial bill that, if approved, would bar landlords from conducting criminal background checks on tenants.

Nantasha Williams (D-Queens), the committee’s chair, and other pols and Council staffers running the session failed to stop him or even object to the remarks.

Powell, who is black, insisted the bill is about “race — it’s about black people”– and then mocked the testimony provided minutes earlier by two Asian women who spoke out against the bill.

“Did you see those Asian people that just were talking?” he said. “I live in Rego Park now. That’s the most racist neighborhood I’ve ever been in, and it’s nothing but Asians…

“If you go into a store, they will follow you around like you’re getting ready to steal something,” added Powell. “They don’t want black people living in black people neighborhoods. Because it’s not their neighborhood, because they’re from China, they’re from Hong Kong. We from New York.”

Holden called on the Council to stop “all funding to VOCAL-NY until they cut ties with Mr. Powell and other radical racists.” He also said members of the group “should be required to complete sensitivity and anti-bias training before receiving future funding from the City Council.”

Since 2014, the Council has awarded more than $2.8 million discretionary funds to VOCAL-NY to assist their drug-treatment programs and other progressive causes that assist low-income New Yorkers, records show. The nonprofit was separately awarded nearly $1.6 million in city contracts.

Powell, 59, is listed as a Level 2 sex offender with a Rego Park address after a 2012 conviction for an attempted criminal sex act with a victim under the age of 15 in 2008, according to the state Sex Offender Registry.  He received a 30-month prison sentence for the crime, the registry says.

Asian American activists and leaders were furious that Council members did not rebuke the anti-Asian slurs during the hearing.

“I left after my testimony and that man was referring to me and @susanleenyc,” tweeted Asian Wave Alliance president Yiatin Chu, one of the speakers Powell was referring to. “This is the hate speech that fuels anti-Asian hate crimes. And our electeds were silent.”
