Day 3: It’s time for solutions, not suspensions. We hope you were able to take yesterday’s Foundation Aid action, and the child care action the day before. If you did, thank you, and if not, there’s still time to jump in. We’re continuing our week of action, and today we’re focusing on the Solutions Not Suspensions bill and what it means to keep students learning in the classroom. Suspensions continue to fall hardest on Black and brown students, and students with disabilities, pushing young people out of school and into systems that limit their futures. Today’s action is about showing up together and calling for something better. Sign up to join us in Albany for Advocacy Day on May 11, and if you can, share this with your people and bring someone with you. Showing up together is how we build momentum and push for change. Register to join us on May 11 > Here’s what’s coming up the rest of the week: Thursday: MAYORAL CONTROL Mayoral control of New York City’s public schools is once again being tied to the state budget instead of going through a public process that includes community voices. Send a message to state leaders calling for a shorter extension and a community led process. Speak up here > Friday: "BUFFER ZONE" BILLS Proposals to create buffer zones around houses of worship would expand police authority and limit where people can gather and speak out. Join our letter campaign to oppose these bills. Sign on > Saturday: TAX THE RICH New Yorkers are calling for taxes on the ultra-wealthy and most highly profitable corporations so we can fund child care and strong public schools. Send a message to the Governor urging her to agree to a budget that raises revenue this way, and call on the Senate and Assembly to hold the line on their proposals. Say it louder! > Thanks for being in this with us. We’ll be back in your inbox tomorrow.
