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.
Jason Beeferman@JasonBeeferman

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.”

CRT is American History. #Periodttt
Not a good first 100 days for the Speaker. A pattern of misleading is showing up. First buffer zone bills now this. She knows @KathyHochul is forcing the Mayors hand. Oh wait! Are you both protecting your ultra-wealthy friends? Join the Mayor and his call to #TaxtheRich

District school parents (over 900,000) “choose” to send their kids to public/district schools every single day. Chair Joseph is taking a stand and defending these parents by rejecting @GovKathyHochul proposal to expand publicly funded, privately managed charters in NYC
Rita Joseph@RitaJosephNYC

🧵: 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.

We stand with education chair @RitaJosephNYC and the co-signed Ed cmte members who stand against school privatization. We don’t need more charters. We need fully funded culturally competent district schools to meet needs of ALL students. #dontraisethecap

Its pretty despicable, @NYCMayor, to push thru a PEP (school board) vote to cut school budgets further. You must really hate NYC kids to deeply cut schools, libraries, early education & childcare programs, & CUNY in the same budget. Kudos to PEP members who stood for #CareNotCuts
Ben Max@TweetBenMax

very interesting - amid great controversy over school budget cuts, court ruled PEP must approve DOE budget & Adams admin is trying to push through a vote on next fiscal year’s budget waaaay in advance

NYC parent asking @nycmayor why he is cutting public schools and public services, which makes our city less safe. The Mayor laughs at her and says “this lady follows me everywhere”. Yes, Mayor. We will keep following you until you #StopTheCuts and #FundOurSchools

From the desk of Council Member Rita Joseph, Chair of the Council Committee on Education 📚 “Charter schools are in business for profit rather than for people and we must protect and defend the greatest equalizer of all, which is public education.”

Parents, the whole "Waiting for Superman" documentary/narrative was a set-up. 20% of charters are for profit. Public education is a great equalizer. Pls do your research. Make statements that are accurate and evidence based, b/c a lot of us have done the research.

Read our full statement on @NYCMayor budget announcement! School should be a place where every young person feels safe & welcome, where they have the community & resources that support them to learn & grow – free from the threat of criminalization.
