**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

keep the doors open. these kids need a place to go do homework and stay out of trouble. stop cutting from the people who need it most.

my kids rely on these programs because i work late and have no other options. dont take away the only safe place they have after the bell rings.

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. HOW ARE WORKING PEOPLE SUPPOSED TO SURVIVE IF THEY CUT THE PROGRAMS???
