...and then Chancellor talked abt alternative system, where CEC members -- ie: parents/guardians & local communities -- have more decision-making power, painting that as an inevitable nightmare, insulting volunteer parents/guardians who serve on CECs. Downright offensive.

@Frank_Kopylov1 @AriKagan47 @JustinBrannan This is a bizarre flex. You’re legit saying that even though you claim to have had more volunteers you still weren’t enough to deal with the Brannan volunteers because your candidate lost. Am I getting this right?
ICYMI, last night’s Brooklyn mayoral control hearing was filled with passionate testimony from parents and educators like Adam Shapiro from District 21. The next one, in Manhattan, is Jan. 18th.
When you can't wait to verify the veracity of information before sharing widely because you're so eager to use it to fear-monger, then need to quietly say, "Oh, never mind," less than 24 hours later when it's confirmed that information you shared is total B.S.
Truly humbled to have the support of so many of our first responders – especially our FDNY and EMS workers. When others run out, they run in – no questions asked. I will always fight to make sure this city does right by them for the sacrifices they make.
The @cec_d21 has spoken
They UNANIMOUSLY passed a resolution opposing the expansion of a Success Academy Charter co-location at Seth Low Intermediate School
For profit charter chains have no place in District 21

So far tonight I've been attacked by two of @AriKagan47's trolls. Looks like someone is feeling sensitive about missing his budget hearings for the rally that wasn't.
Ari Kagan blew off a budget hearing to...shake his fist at the sky across from @JustinBrannan's office.
Love the dedication to your constituents, Ari. SO IMPRESSED.
@JustinBrannan@chrismccreight@kravtchenko4bk @AriKagan47 Bragging about how you stood across the street from an office with one other person to talk about something to NOBODY, while THOUSANDS of your constituents who live in public housing needed you to DO YOUR JOB and be in a NYCHA hearing at that same time.

Tonight, our CEC21 passed a resolution stating asylees who've journeyed here deserve compassion and appropriate shelter, and schools in undeserved communities should not lose limited resources w/o consultation or notice to bear this burden due to poor planning by the city. 2/2
Just spoke with NYCEM and have confirmed the city is now moving the migrants out of PS 188 in Coney Island. Plan is to no longer use this site for temporary shelter. Will share more verified info as I receive. Our schools should not be used for this purpose.
