Action Alert: Submit Videos in Prep for Thursday's 5/21 NYC Council Hearing

5/18/2020

0 Comments

 
Instead of our social media Friday this week, we’d love students, teachers, and providers to submit videos to accompany the testimony before our Thursday, 5/21’s NYC Council Hearing on Immigration, (Remote Hearing scheduled for 9:30-11:00am).

Key points to hit in the 1-minute video:
  • Why is your adult literacy program (HSE, ABE, or ESOL English classes) important to you?
  • We want $12 million to be included in the city budget to restore Adult Literacy funding for FY2021 so that our adult learners do not lose access to these critical programs.
Upload videos to this Google Photo Album (https://photos.app.goo.gl/rxxooQzeLXVoU4KM7).
If your students are able to, tweet your videos at City Council (instructions included below). Otherwise, teachers and providers can tweet on their behalf.

​In lieu of traditional activities that NYCCAL organizes such as rallies and legislative visits, which are not possible due to the COVID-19 crisis, adult literacy providers can join virtual advocacy efforts instead to urge New York City to restore funding for adult literacy programs in FY2021.  We will be holding Virtual Advocacy Rallies every Friday for the next few weeks.

On Friday May 8, 2020, we ask that you participate in a virtual celebration of Teacher Appreciation Week by sending out Tweets and Instagram messages to our elected officials to support funding for Adult Education.
