Activists from ACT UP at a recent CEC2 meeting.
“To achieve an equitable school system, we must unite and build a coalition stronger than those who would seek to frighten and silence us. More parents must step up to run for the community board to create a multitude of voices and perspectives.”
“The Adams administration, simply put, must do more to address the historic crisis of youth homelessness our city faces. Instead, the administration has made policies that will create a worse situation for some of the most vulnerable young people in our city.”
“By not requiring schools to have genders and sexualities alliances, or pushing for inclusive curriculum in all schools, the DOE is refusing to take important steps proven to increase the health and safety of students.”
“Between chronic underfunding, a change in administration, and pandemic staff shortages, the process of filing and resolving complaints at the Commission has slowed to a standstill. Mayor Eric Adams’s current budget contains even more cuts to the commission which do nothing but create unnecessary harm to everyday New Yorkers.”
“If Mayor Adams truly wants to make good on his promises to stem the homelessness crisis in the city and provide substantive mental health to the city’s youth, he must first make it easier, not harder, to access safe and affordable housing.”
‘Limited English Proficient (LEP) parents have a legal right to have access to information in their preferred languages. This is not an optional service for the NYC Department of Education, it’s the law.’
