We had an energizing rally today at City Hall Park with parents, would-be parents, elected officials, and our coalition members to say that we want 2-Care and restoration of funds that the Mayor cut to 3-K and early childhood education!

On Rosa Parks' birthday, we honor her extraordinary life, legacy, and unwavering courage fighting for civil rights.

Her legacy also calls us to action, reminding us that the battle against hate of all kinds continues today and demands a unified response.
