New Yorkers for Racially Just Public Schools
@rjps4nyc
We are a citywide ed justice coalition aimed at centering racial equity in policy and budget decisions in NYC schools.


Speaking after @ZohranKMamdani at Al Sharpton’s @NationalAction convention, Speaker @JulieMenin says her work for the Black community includes saying NO to Mamdani’s budget proposal. “We’re also focused in the City Council on making sure that we are protecting the Black community, and by doing that, I say we have said a hard ‘No’ to raising property taxes 9.5%. That is unacceptable, because if we were to do that, we would be hurting black communities across our city.”

If @JulieMenin wants to avoid cuts or property taxes, as @nycMayor does, she should push the state & @KathyHochul to #taxtherich e.g. corporations & the ultra-wealthy. The mayor’s budget office is proposing property as a last resort to fill budget gap; Menin is misleading NYers.







🧵: Several members of the NYC Council Education Committee signed on to a letter sent to leadership in Albany. We must reject @GovKathyHochul’s proposal to raise the charter school cap. Proud have incredible advocates push on this effort as we fight for equity.
