These cuts directly affect my child's after school and neighborhood. Programs like @cflsunsetpark.bsky.social keep kids safe, teach them life skills and free up parents to work. Thanks @repdangoldman.bsky.social putting a spotlight on this.

Hundreds of kids in Sunset Park rely on @cflsunsetpark.bsky.social for after-school programs and other important resources.
Trump slashed their funding and resources, crippling this vital organization.
The GOP is robbing kids of opportunity in order to bankroll billionaire tax breaks.
Thank you for your support of CFL's afterschool programming!

One young staff member, who is a former participant, spoke beautifully about the importance of fully funding K-12 programs and about what it means to have grown into a leader, now giving back to the community, because of his participation in CFL afterschool.
In the afternoon, our staff testified at the preliminary budget hearing for Children & Youth and spoke about the need for the city to raise the afterschool rates for elementary and middle school programs and register contracts promptly.
Fully fund afterschool!
Last Thursday morning, our staff delivered 796 paper petitions signed by parents, participants, teachers, and community members from the Sunset Park community urging Mayor Adams to increase funding for afterschool programs.
We must ensure that our city’s youth receive the ESSENTIAL programming they deserve! We are calling on Mayor Eric Adams to increase funding to afterschool programs this year.
