New York City Council and various organizations are advocating against proposed budget cuts that would impact critical services such as re-entry programs, libraries, museums, cultural institutions, childhood education, and after-school programs. They are urging Mayor Eric Adams to reverse the cuts and invest in proven programs to address recidivism, mental health, and educational needs.
The arts aren’t just an extracurricular activity, they are essential to our health and well-being. That’s why @NYCCouncil is pushing to reverse budget cuts for cultural organizations like @BxArtsEnsemble and strengthen this critical sector. https://t.co/Ebj7uktR0u
We must ensure our city supports families by protecting resources for 3-K. Today I joined @NYCSpeakerAdams and the Campaign for Children to call on Mayor Adams to fully invest in early childhood education. https://t.co/zDW0QIf0Cu
Early childhood education at center of budget talks between Mayor Adams and City Council https://t.co/OYKvwtYm9Z
The City’s failure to adequately invest in early childhood education has pushed working families to the brink. This morning, @NYCSpeakerAdams, Council Members, and advocates rallied to urge @NYCMayor: Families and children need the city to prioritize 3-K and Pre-K in the budget. https://t.co/3qdgAkfAae
Working families are relying on the City to deliver a budget that prioritizes and funds early childhood education. Now is the time to invest in 3-K and Pre-K, and make good on our promise to New Yorkers. Thank you to the children and families who joined us at our rally today! https://t.co/7OzgcAU9sb
NYC Aging is facing MILLIONS in budget cuts. These are cuts that jeopardize essential services, including home care and the very older adult centers folks use to access resources! It’s time to invest in our older neighbors, Mr. Mayor! #AgeInPlaceNYC https://t.co/GZNhh5WpHK
I'm deeply concerned about the $$ cuts that'd prevent @BGCGW from providing vital after-school programming for kids from all 8 wards. I’m committed to restoring these critical funds so our kids can access these programs, even as Jelleff Rec Center soon undergoes renovations. https://t.co/26RqT0UEhX

On Tuesday cultural workers testified before the NY City Council to call on Mayor Adams to reverse his disastrous budget cuts of over $58 MILLION in cuts.

Today we held our executive budget hearing as Council works to negotiate a budget that fully funds the needs of our arts+ culture organizations and public library systems. I'm committed to continuing work in coalition to ensure equitable investments across the city 📚🎭 https://t.co/GldGXqanGh
Right now, culture workers are testifying before the City Council to call on Eric Adams to reverse his destructive cuts to libraries, museums, and other cultural institutions. NYC-DSA stands with librarians, who have been on the frontlines of this fight since day one! https://t.co/x80WRvY0BQ
Due to budget cuts, @CorrectionNYC is struggling to provide critical re-entry services and educational programs for detainees on Rikers. The city budget must invest in proven programs that address recidivism and mental health to improve public safety. https://t.co/ILUiKqnwXV
NYC showed up for libraries today in a big way! We’re standing up to the proposed $58.3 million in cuts to NYC libraries, but we need your help to tell @nycmayor & @nyccouncil #NoCutsToLibraries! Send a letter of support now: https://t.co/Mhq4tGa6vg https://t.co/j1t5TKymxc
