Congratulations and best of wishes to the @AfYoungWriters graduates of 2022! I am convinced they will continue to make us proud by using their voices to bring attention to injustices everywhere. What a joy to celebrate with the AFYW community every year. @AadenStern

Thanks @NYMag for lifting up the voice of one of our Young Writers and our #MBK chapter, Never Forget My Brothers. Check out the rooftop ‘parklet’ inspired by Infinite’s pandemic experience. https://t.co/ATRPmIKwOJ

Twitter, we need your help!!

Part of the reason SYEP has not been officially restored is because @NYGovCuomo has not delivered the $22.6M in promised state funds that @NYCYouth and SYEP providers are counting on.

Tweet at @NYGovCuomo and say "DELIVER OUR SYEP MONEY!" #SaveSYEP

@PaulForbesNYC @Natalie_Zwerger I still have her last text. I want to call her and check in. Even though I cannot, she is still my guide. I see her in the wind, in flecks of light between trees, in the strength and voices of the youth standing up demanding justice today.
