**Newsflash** Dozens of Brooklyn after-school programs are slated to be closed by the city! We need to stand together and demand the restoration of services to our children. Sign the petition to send a clear message to the Mayor that we are not willing to compromise with our children. • According to a report in the Daily News “Brooklyn is slated to lose 77 of its 154 Out of School Time programs in the fall, the most programs axed in any borough.” • The Daily News also reported that 32% of Brooklyn parents said they would quit a job or educational opportunity, while 28% would leave kids alone based on a survey done by the NYC Campaign for Children. • The OST program is slated to be cut from $91.5 million to $73.3 million, with 23,838 of 52,567 kids losing their seats! • Advocates estimate 10,000 of the slashed seats are in Brooklyn! Sign the petition and let your voice be heard. Together we can effect change. Thank You
