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!

New York’s growing affordability crisis is pushing working and middle-class families out of our city. As more and more New Yorkers struggle to afford skyrocketing rents, childcare, and healthcare costs, now is the time for the City to invest in the services and infrastructure that will make our city more livable.

Join New Yorkers United for Child Care, the Progressive Caucus and a broad coalition of advocates as we push back on the Mayor’s drastic cuts to 3K, Pre-K and rally for alternative measures that balance fiscal responsibility with the urgent need to invest in New York City’s working and middle class communities.
