Yesterday, we went to Albany to advocate for afterschool programs with @NYSYouthSuccess. We urge elected officials to invest in afterschool because these programs are essential for young people and families!

As we remember those who have lost their lives while homeless, it is important to recommit ourselves to the work to end homelessness. I want to thank @UrbanPathwaysNY and @CFHNYC for putting on this event and honoring these lives who are often dismissed.

[Zach Lyons @ZLyons01]

This week was the week of the winter solstice, which also brings Homeless persons’ Memorial Day, a day to honor all those who have lost their lives while experiencing homelessness or due to the conditions of homelessness.

Join us tomorrow for a rally to #SaveNextSTEPS!

[New York City Council @NYCCouncil]

At last week’s oversight hearing on cuts to public safety programs, Council Member Avilés criticized @nycprobation on their decision to abruptly cancel the Next STEPS program, which invests in NYCHA youth by connecting them with mentorship, employment and education opportunities.
