Urgent Call to Action: People's Budget Campaign Rally, Tomorrow, 3/7 at 11 AM, City Hall
Join fellow New Yorkers calling on the City to fully fund libraries, schools, pre-K for 3-year-olds, CUNY, and core social services
Join us at The People's Budget Launch!
In February 2023, Mayor Adams released his preliminary fiscal year 2024 budget for New York City. The mayor has proposed a budget filled with cuts to core resources and services that New Yorkers rely on.
Mayor Adams is cutting libraries, schools, pre-K for 3-year-olds, CUNY, and core social services, and unless New Yorkers fight back, many of ur public institutions and social safety nets are in threat of major cuts by June 2023. Join us on 3/7 as we begin our FY24 People's Budget campaign and fight for #CareNotCuts!
