@MumfordAndSons very grateful to you for playing tonight @RobinHoodNYC -- and supporting kids in New York City. And Robin Hood is the best movie ever made!

High-impact tutoring is the path to bridging the COVID-19 learning gap!

@luciansays @WSSL_NYC @openheartsnyc @luciansays Thank you for voicing your opposition. I share your belief that housing our fellow New Yorkers is critical. We should approach all newcomers with @openheartsnyc. @WSSL_NYC: we can find alternatives.

[Saskia Traill @sastra]

So proud of the @expand_school STEM team for organizing this event and all the STEM organizations that work every day with kids throughout NYC.

In #Manhattan, #STEM education students participated in a #STEAM #SummerRising fair that featured projects they’ve been working on. @expand_school #AroundtheBoroughs #ny1 @Sherwoodstock @chelsea_j_katz

The night is nearly over but the fight for #JustPay is not! Nonprofit leaders have been UP ALL NIGHT for human services workers outside City Hall. We won’t stop until
@NYCMayor
funds a 6.5% COLA and multi-year deal for human services workers!

[University Settlement @UnivSettlement]

What keeps us up at night!? The #JustPay fight!

That’s why nonprofit leaders are up all night for human services workers outside City Hall. We need @NYCMayor to fund a 6.5% COLA and multi-year deal for our workers!

[Darren Bloch @darrenbloch]

Hey @NYCMayor @NYCMayorsOffice @NYCCouncil we're still here and will be #UpAllNight because you'all refuse to pay our frontline workers what they need and deserve.
We've been saying for a year, #JustPay city contract @HSC_NY workers!

[Saskia Traill @sastra]

I'm up all night for #justpay! Pay afterschool staff and other human services workers a COLA! @expand_school

"When you’re proud of your work, when it’s beautiful, you’re motivated to work harder. Kids practice their gymnastics, practice their flute, practice their soccer skills because they want to be great. Not to be proficient. And I feel like that’s what school should be about."

[Roxanne J. Persaud @SenatorPersaud]

I joined AM Hevesi, Sen. Montgomery, Assemblywoman Jaffee and 71 colleagues calling upon Gov. to release funding for the 2020 Summer Youth Employment Program (SYEP). To not will leave thousands of at-risk youth across the state without work this summer. #FundYouthNYC & #SaveSYEP

[HERE to HERE @heretoherebx]

Each year, NYC's Summer Youth Employment Program provides ~75,000 students with meaningful, paid work experience. Now more than ever, SYEP is not only a vital resource to communities hit hardest by COVID-19, but also key to our economic recovery. #SaveSYEP

[Naa-Shorme @the_naashorme]

Explain to me where taking money from the nonprofits that pulled up to keep this city fed and cared for during the pandemic is a smart part of your recovery process, @NYCMayor? We need @NYCSpeakerCoJo and @NYCCouncil to pull through on this one

[ExpandED Schools @expand_school]

NYC teens are indomitable and we are so proud to have been a part of this effort to reimagine and #SaveSYEP. @NYCMayor the youth have done the heavy lifting. Now it's up to you to say yes. @TeensTakeCharge https://t.co/I4H8P18Rpp

[Debi Rose @CMDebiRose]

@TeensTakeCharge I love your energy and I love your message “SYEP is not a cost , it’s an investment” and so I am honored to lead the fight to #fundyouthnyc

[ExpandED Schools @expand_school]

Dear @NYCMayor,
After food and shelter, afterschool, summer programs, and youth employment are essential. They allow parents to work, teens to help cover rent & food bills, and enable kids to develop skills to solve big problems. Please restore funding.
#afterschoolisessential

[ExpandED Schools @expand_school]

CBOs have heroically pivoted to remote programming to keep kids engaged. We are so impressed by your commitment to kids, families, and communities. You are all amazing! The City needs to keep you whole. @NIABklyn @LEAPNYC @globalkids @ChildrenNYC @GoodShepherdNYC @New_York_Edge

@tarintowers It was ages ago, but I felt like I had TB for months. But it was different than a cold--felt like I was getting stuff out of my body, if that makes sense. Also possibly psychological experience, rather than reality. Good on you, by the way!
