NOW: @AnaMariaforNY w/ @NYWFP joins children in their fight to #InvestInOurNY, including schools:
“It is really not too much to ask of @GovKathyHochul, who leads one of the richest states in the country, to make sure that the richest people in NY continue to make that a reality, it is not too much to ask to make sure in the state of New York ALL the schools are fully funded.”

NYC joins too many other cities in using 'removals' to appear to be doing something while in reality harming
people who have no options.
The Adams administration will have to report quarterly on the cost and characteristics of “removals,” citylimits.org/2023/12/20/ny… Limits
