CACF’s ASAP Youth Leaders headed to City Hall to speak out against the proposed $400 million in cuts to essential education programs in NYC Department of Education schools during Thursday's preliminary budget hearing. We are proud to be part of the Coalition for Equitable Education Funding and will resist any effort to cut these essential services for New York City’s children and families. Our Youth Leaders see firsthand what a difference programs for English Language Learners, anti-bullying initiatives, mental health support, and language access services for immigrant and limited English proficient families make each day. We are so appreciative of our ASAPers Ayesha, Brandon, Kyae, and Waiza for sharing their words during this important budget fight.
