Child care costs families $20,000 a year per kid — and often more. Families with kids under 6 years old are 2X more likely to leave NYC.

But instead of investing in child care, Mayor Adams wants to cut $170 million to our universal and free 3-K program — that’s more than 10,000 seats that won’t be available anymore. After promising that every family with a 3 year old will get an accessible seat, thousands of families did not get one — while many got seats that were way too far away to use.

The Mayor and City Council are negotiating the budget right now. RSVP for our last chance to say:

• “NO” to $170 Million in Cuts

• Make 3K Truly Universal and Free for All!

• Keep Working and Middle Class Families in NYC!
