To deliver for our communities, the budget must support the services that move our city forward, not take resources away from 3-K, libraries, schools, parks, and programs that address mental health, reduce recidivism, and provide essential services that New Yorkers rely on.

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!

The City’s failure to adequately invest in early childhood education has pushed working families to the brink. This morning, Adrienne Adams, Council Members, and advocates rallied to urge Mayor Eric Adams: Families and children need the city to prioritize 3-K and Pre-K in the budget.

So grateful to our amazing child care champions NYS Senator Jabari Brisport Andrew Hevesi NYS Senator Samra Brouk and Sarah Clark for their tireless work to pass statewide presumptive eligibility and decoupling today! Together, we can win big for NY's families and early childhood educators.

🔴 LIVE: New York City Council, Unions, Parents, Early Childhood Ed Providers, and Advocates Call on Mayor to Prioritize Early Childhood Education Investments in City Budget x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Thousands of children who need high-quality child care do not have access. Thousands with disabilities can't get support. Thousands of families are considering leaving the City due to high costs and even more are being pushed into poverty. We need fully-funded Universal 3K now.

This morning, I was joined by my incredible colleagues, members of labor, advocates, and parents at our rally calling on Mayor Eric Adams to fully invest in early childhood education. The message was clear: it's time to put our youngest New Yorkers and working-class families first.

A lack of investment in early childhood education would leave thousands of families and children without services, including special education. Yesterday, Council Members and advocates rallied to call on Mayor Eric Adams to restore cuts and invest in early childhood education.
