GSS staff joined the @NYCCouncil #PrideMonth kickoff at City Hall. History was made! For the first time, the Council Chambers hosted a live #ballroom and #voguing competition. It honored ballroom culture that started in #Harlem, creating space for Black and Latino #LGBTQ+ youth.

We joined city leaders at #CityHall to sound the alarm on cuts to #preventionservices. We’re calling on @NYCMayor to restore $13.4M for these lifelines:
🔹$7.4M afterschool
🔹$3.2M runaway homeless youth
🔹$2.8M family counseling
Our CEO @MichelleYanche explains why this matters.

Today, we stood on the City Hall steps as students called on @NYCMayor to sustain critical education programs! Unless NYC extends funding in the FY 27 budget, programs like Learning to Work, restorative justice, immigrant family outreach & more could be rolled back this July.

Young people are telling us what they need:
✅ Stable housing
✅ Mental health care
✅ Real economic opportunity
For too long, NYC has filled these gaps with punishment. Read how we can invest in them instead in the NYC Youth Justice Coalition’s report. https://t.co/1eBYF7k6Ak
