This is still developing, and our team is monitoring the situation closely.
Today in New York, David Schwimmer joined the ADL in the fight against antisemitism. Thank you for including Humans of Judaism as a Hero Against Hate. #NeverisNow
Trump tried to install Clayton at SDNY during his first term, but prosecutors there, including then-head Geoff Berman, balked at the suggestion, in part bc Clayton has no experience in criminal law. Berman refused to leave until his deputy, not Clayton, could take the reins.
“The city is behaving like a disengaged, deadbeat parent.”
City contracting may not be sexy, but it’s the backbone of all the crucial social services that our neighborhoods rely on. Nonprofits may not make payroll because of this nonsense. NYC: pay your bills!
For @THECITYNY, @haideechu speaks with ESOL students who have lost access to their programs after their recent Adult Literacy procurement. DYCD owes these students answers.

There’s a lot left to do after today’s budget announcement, but it’s worth it to take a second to thank all the people who spent time rallying and testifying and tweeting and calling and demanding better for early childhood education.
Immigrant families need childcare. Despite this, Mayor Adams has so far refused to reinvest in Promise NYC, a program that has helped 600 families access childcare. @arya_sundaram story in @Gothamist shows the consequences of underfunding childcare https://t.co/gJfRplAjx5
Settlement houses have played a key role in making New York the City of immigrants it is today. When we support newcomers, the entire City benefits. Thanks to Rich Baum of @EdAlliance for highlighting symbiosis in @NYDailyNews today. https://t.co/JJFSaoNbex
The school day schedule that dictates most of modern American K-12 life is a relic of a bygone “Leave It to Beaver” era with outdated family norms when a household with 2 working parents was rare for most white and middle-class families.
New York City’s budget should reflect New York City’s values. UNH stands with the Council in calling for full investment in services for children and youth, including the restoration of @NYCMayor proposed $170 million to 3K.
At a rally today, Deputy Director of Policy & Advocacy, @TaraKleinTK lists the critical mental health initiatives that need @NYCCouncil support in this year’s budget. New Yorkers need mental health programs!
It looks like we've got enough votes to pass the Packaging Reduction Act in the Assembly but we need you to call Speaker @CarlHeastie at 518-455-3791 to make sure he allows it to the floor today before the Legislature adjourns for the year. PLEASE CALL SPEAKER HEASTIE NOW!
Thank you @karen_yi@Gothamist@WNYC for covering this important issue. In order to expand childcare and ensure every child gets a seat, we also need to ensure there is a teacher in every classroom!
We are at City Hall, calling on @NYCMayor to reverse cuts to aging services! Seniors are stopping @NYCCouncil members to make sure they know about the need to make crucial investments in senior meals, capital projects, and case management services #AdvocateForAgingNYC
“I project that after 2030 all of NYC will be a NORC.” -@NYCAging Commissioner at today’s @NYCCouncil hearing on Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities. Read more about NORCs in @UNHNY’s recent report, and let’s build some more of them!
