4/ Current segregation is sustained by intentional choice, and dismantling it will require equally deliberate policy choices. The City of Yes is one such choice—a step toward building a more integrated and inclusive NYC. Read our full testimony here: nyappleseed.org/wp-content/upl…

3/ Critics have argued #CityOfYes will overcrowd schools, but this assumes continued policy silos, a continuation of limiting educational opportunities to only a handful of schools,& noncompliance with the new class size law. We need coordinated solutions, not flawed assumptions.

1/ Today, @AppleseedNY submitted written testimony in support of the #CityofYes, highlighting how housing affordability and school segregation are deeply interconnected issues. 🏘️🏫
