None of us would head to a police precinct for mental health care—nor should we rely on police to address children’s emotional needs at school. @NYCCouncil must invest in comprehensive mental health & social-emotional support for students. https://t.co/ZIyVtDAKiW
@MarkTreyger718 dozens of young people testified last month to demand #NoNewSchoolCops and, instead, the real need to fund school-based restorative justice. Can we count on you to win a just budget?
@NYCSpeakerCoJo, last year's budget left school policing COMPLETELY UNCHANGED despite promises otherwise. This year, shrink the footprint of school policing & do not replace positions lost to attrition. #NoNewSchoolCops
.@HelenRosenthal THANK YOU for speaking up during budget oversight hearings on the harms of police in schools! We’re trusting you to champion #NoNewSchoolCops in this coming budget!
A: NYC's next mayor can address gender-based violence through an #intersectional + #inclusive approach. Through efforts to stop violence in all forms— including interpersonal and state violence— we can lay the groundwork for a future that is safe and affirming for all women. 1/4
For women and their families to thrive in 2021, we need policies that center on women’s experiences such as affordable childcare, dependent care, flexible work schedules, pay transparency through salary disclosure and we need to provide them with living, equitable wages. 3/3
The pandemic has led to more job losses among women than men, and less women are returning back to the workforce due to a lack of access to affordable, quality child care - all of which has posed a serious threat to the advancement of women in the workforce. 2/3
A: It’s critical that we create an inclusive + equitable economy that works for all women— especially #woc who have been hit hardest by #COVID19. Women + families across the state were left more vulnerable to the impacts of the pandemic due to the wage gap. 1/3
@NYCSpeakerCoJo & @cmlauriecumbo, when you convene for the next stated meeting we need you to ensure a just budget for young people. Center students – support #NoNewSchoolCops!
@Vanessalgibson we’re calling on you to negotiate a just budget in solidarity with students and in the name of healing-centered schools. Meet the needs of your youngest constituents, support #NoNewSchoolCops!
