First day of Summer for the youth of NYC and we are still waiting for that shift in funds for #SYEP @NYCMayor @NYCSpeakerCoJo @CMKoslowitz I am mystified

As we move into the next phase of opening we expect more & more people to move into their physical work space - leaving their youth behind w/out support. Out of work families can& #39;t afford child care as they return. I just don& #39;t know what we are thinking?!? #NYCBudgetJustice
We must move $1B of funding into communities. We need the support of CBO& #39;s as families are to juggle the return to their physical workspace and their student(s) school arrangements (in one day at home the next). We can& #39;t have our cake & eat it too. #DefundNYPD #FundYouthNYC
In the next few months if things continue down this road schools will have to cut staff at a time when we should be increasing staff. We are already suffering from a lack of planning on behalf of @NYC_SCA as our district has been begging for more schools. Overcrowding is real.
We had one PS expansion, and now have another PS expansion on hold. FHHS is overloaded and has been for over a decade and yet nothing has been done. And now we need the space and don& #39;t have it. #fundyouthnyc #DefundTheNYPD #NYCBudgetJustice
We live in a city where private schools are willing to go out pocket to secure Wework space. https://therealdeal.com/2020/06/17/wework-in-talks-to-offer-classroom-space-for-nyc-private-schools/">https://therealdeal.com/2020/06/1...
We have eminent domain & aren& #39;t exploring other options? We must start thinking creatively. By not removing $1B in NYPD funding we are punishing our communities. We need more carrot less stick. Removing that funding-pushing it into communities gets us all a lot of damn carrots.
