Strategy Meeting (On Zoom)
RSVP to Join the Fight to Save 3-K and Pre-K !
The cost of living in NYC continues to rise, making it increasingly challenging for families to thrive. As if that wasn't enough, the Mayor's proposed cuts to the 3-K and Pre-K programs are now threatening the very foundation of affordable early childhood education in our city.
To combat these detrimental cuts and ensure the availability of child care, we have to get organized. Join us on Monday, 3/25 at 8 PM for a virtual strategy meeting where we will strategize on how to preserve our 3-K and Pre-K programs and advocate for universal child care in NYC.
During the meeting, we will delve into the city budget process, explore effective advocacy tactics, and brainstorm ways to raise awareness about our cause.
RSVP to join! We’ll email you the zoom link closer to the meeting
