Alright y’all. Let that sink in for a minute. $8B more in revenue than anticipated, $Billions more in reserve, a surplus, yet @NYCMayor grossly overstating the financial impact of newly arrived asylum seeking families & manufacturing paranoia as justification to gut @NYCSchools of funding. #EndMayoralControl
STATEMENT. Mayor Adams is proposing 5% across-the-board budget cuts, despite NYC holding $9B in reserves & skepticism about Mayor’s claims about fiscal impact of asylum seekers. NYers demand a halt to cuts amid mayoral scandals & corruption allegations.

While the NYC budget deal will restore some of @NYCMayor 's cuts to funding for public schools, pre-K & child care, unfortunately it only meets the bare minimum to avoid worsening the damage of last year’s education budget, w/o new investments to repair the harm.
The fiasco of the contract election continues. @UFT is seemingly giving new instructions on a daily basis. Everything is too rushed + chaotic, as we argued initially; this isn’t how @UFT members should feel about a document that will dictate their livelihood for years to come!
How is everyone feeling about the contract proposed by @UFT leadership and @NYCMayor ?
Here are some highlights 🧵
🎯 3% pay raises that amount to pay cuts after adjusting for inflation and cost of living
🎯 a $3K signing bonus that is taxable and will come out to about $1,500

These folks were told by DOE in writing in June that their jobs were secure. Then @UFTUnity UFT leadership made a backroom deal 🤝🙄 and sold these UFT members out. An injury to one is an injury to all! Stop the harmful and unnecessary excessing of EC support staff! Solidarity!
Please join me tonight as I speak with other Early Childhood Educators, Social Workers, and Instructional Coordinators to discuss the horrible loss of our essential support networks due to the gross negligence of #NYCDOE and our own @UFT! We need to protect our ECE programs!!
