Education advocates from youth and family services providers joined elected officials outside of Tweed Courthouse in Lower Manhattan on Monday to decry proposed education budget cuts.

The rally — organized by Good Shepard Services, one of New York City’s largest nonprofit youth and family services providers — was held ahead of the City Council’s executive budget hearing on education. 

Advocates representing different organizations such as Fostering Youth Success Alliance, the Day Care Council of New York, Advocates for Children of New York, and the New York Immigration Coalition, called for greater investment in early childhood education, mandated services for students with disabilities, more support and services for schools with newly-arrived migrant youth, and faster and more reliable busing transportation for foster care students.
