Proud to stand with @CMJulieWon in this fight for an equitable and accessible NYC adult literacy system. Thousands of adults and immigrant learners depend on their community based English programs for skills and connections. TY @SahaliD for the terrific coverage.
City Hall could leave out 70% of currently-funded nonprofits from offering free English classes to our neighbors. Preventing New Yorkers with limited English proficiency, including asylum seekers from accessing ESOL classes is just wrong. Read more: https://t.co/XtfFtqvbci

@NYCMayor’s proposed cuts to the city’s essential programming for youth undermine the great work our providers, including our members, have put in to keep them running.
👏UNH’s @lenabcohen briefly spoke at a press conference earlier today on the new NYS Working Families Tax Credit! It aims to expand on two existing tax credits that will provide financial assistance to families that need it most.
#LiteracyLiftsNY Thank you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 @jessicaramos for supporting NY’s adult literacy students and teachers❣️
Now more than ever, English language learners need classes to continue uninterrupted. Let’s get $27.9M for Adult Literacy Education in the NYS FY24 budget! @NYCCAL
New Yorkers! We don't have to accept low turnout in our elections. @rachelholliday asked @SenatorMyrie Ester Fuchs, Frederick Schaffer, @lenabcohen, @Slerner212, Bill Chong what to do about it.

How do we strengthen our communities? With adult education. We urge @NYCMayor to double adult literacy funding to $27 million to serve the 2.2 million New Yorkers who lack English, HSE, and adult basic ed. #LiteracyLiftsNYC@thenyic@NYCCAL
Celebrating #OurCityOurVote Campaign VICTORY with @thenyic@UNHNY and the powerful coalition that made it happen!

Not our @NYCSpeakerCoJo celebrating the greatest expansion of voting rights in NYC history in a hundred years at the start of today’s @NYCCouncil stated hearing! #ourcityourvote
Today, NYC will make history as the largest city to enfranchise immigrants in local elections.
@NYCSpeakerCoJo, don’t let down the 900,000 tax paying residents that would be impacted by this bill.
All eyes on @NYCCouncil to see this through — #VoteYES on #Intro1867.
