Thank you @NYCSpeakerAdams @JustinBrannan @RitaJosephNYC , @CMJenGutierrez @NYCProgressives @NYCCityCouncil for fighting tirelessly to secure important funding restorations for 3-K.
We will continue to fight until all New Yorkers have access to free, universal child care.
Thousands of families didn't get the 3K seat they were promised.
@voteshekar, we need you to KEEP FIGHTING to restore ALL the @NYCMayor cuts to Pre & 3K, expand free full day/year seats, & reinstate outreach teams.

This AM, @DOEChancellor said that 94% of families got a pre-k/3k seat, but that about 2,000 families are still being placed. Says the reality is some will not get a seat in the district they live in. This is a week after @NYCMayor told me families will not have to travel.

Parents and kids rallied today with our local elected leaders and allies. Thank you all for coming out and helping us deliver 6k petition signatures!
@NYCMayor, you can't ignore all these families. Stop the cuts! Expand 3k and Prek!

We have the ability to provide quality childcare and early childhood education for every family in NYC.
The mayor often speaks about what he wants to see done for these communities; why is he not backing that up with funding?
Don't play money games at the expense of our babies.

"It is easy to see how mothers are affected by the prohibitively expensive costs of child care, but perhaps less so to understand it as a communal crisis."

Thank you, @NYCSpeakerAdams, for speaking on behalf of NYC families at yesterday's @NYCCouncil Preliminary Budget Hearing!
We need @NYCMayor to restore ~ $400M in cuts to Pre-K & 3-K so families can stay and thrive in NY.

Anyone know where you can get Air Traffic Control data from past flights? #datanerd #FAA #FlightCancelation #pleasehelp #thankyoumuch
Anyone else have terrible experiences with @HotelTonight ? They should rebrand to NotelTonight
The WHOLE point of the app is to reserve hotels for the same night - @HotelTonight #youhadonejob
After a cancelled flight and over 10 hours on the road, we arrived for our @hoteltonight reservation at 11:30 pm only to be told there was no room at the inn

If you told me in August that NYC would hold months of in-person learning without major virus outbreaks while other cities barely had a plan to go back, I wouldn't have believed you. But here we are:
