Wednesday April 28th,
2pm: Press Conference/Rally,
3pm: Hearing @ City Hall, Board Chambers
There are $11 million in proposed cuts JUST to the Department of Children, Youth and Families for the next fiscal year. That doesn’t even begin to include the cuts that will impact families and kids from the state level, or from the many other departments, some of whom have not even submitted a budget yet. The DCYF RFP results are scheduled to be released on April 15th, and until then, we won’t know the impact of the cuts on the community.
April 28th is the opportunity to come out to City Hall and testify– but is ALSO an opportunity to tell Mayor Gavin Newsom, who will have control of the budget until June 1st, that we need him to step up and preserve funding for critical programs for children, youth and families! More details to come soon about the schedule and logistics for the April 28th press conference & hearing. If you have any questions, please contact Chelsea at cboilard@colemanadvocates.org.
