The #COVID19 crisis has magnified health & economic inequalities that existed long before the global pandemic struck, & BIPOC communities & immigrants have faced disproportionately high mortality & unemployment rates. NYIC in the house w/Steven Choi 🎉 @NIICNewAmerican
I just signed a Action Network petition: Suspend New York State Regulations requiring students to pass Regents exams in 2020-21 to graduate from high school.. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/susp…
TAKE ACTION: Contact your state legislators and tell them to reject the special education waiver in Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposed budget. We need NYS to stand firm on rights for students with disabilities, not enact legislation that would take these rights away. bit.ly/2YtoQpn
I'm joining Advocates for Children of New York to call on Archive: Governor Andrew Cuomo and other leaders in Albany to increase—not cut—state funding for education. School districts need to be able to use all of their federal COVID-19 relief funding to reopen schools and help students catch up. bit.ly/lb36Qan

COVID-19 has been devastating for infants & toddlers with developmental delays and disabilities.

No student should lose their chance to finish high school because of COVID-19. Join me in urging NYS Assembly Member Michael Benedetto Senator Shelley Mayer John C. Liu to pass A.1201A/ S.2994A to give students with disabilities more time if they need it actionnetwork.org/letters/give-s…
