New York City has cut more than $9,000,000 from community school budgets at the last minute— in a break from the normal process, with no transparency on rationale—leaving 33,000 of the city's students without much needed services right before the start of school.

Help us restore the more than $9,000,000 in critical funding to City Year New York and 28 other nonprofits organizations that provide services that are vital to 33,000 students, their families, and communities.
