The city government is looking for volunteers this weekend (April 18-19) to help sign up city residents with young children for pre-school.

Volunteers are specifically needed in:

• McCarren Park
• Gilbert Ramirez Park
• Bushwick Houses
• Metropolitan Rec Center

and other neighborhood locations.

Interested in helping the dream of universal pre-kindergarten become a reality? Email us at [email protected].

We're proud to announce our endorsement for the following race:

•  Nydia Velázquez for U.S. Representative for New York's 7th District

Thanks to both the candidates for joining us for lively presentations and discussion. We look forward to working hard to (re-)elect our candidate!

Our city government has a new mayor, and his administration is already making its mark. And later this year our state will elect a new assembly and senate, and our county will elect new district leaders and a fresh county committee. It's a big year for New York! We'll prepare by organizing on behalf of strong progressive candidates, educating ourselves about current issues, and helping advocate on behalf of solutions that we can believe in.

This March, we'll be holding our endorsement vote for the congressional race in NY-7, and jumping right into petitioning. Join our mailing list, see our Events tab above, and follow us on Facebook and Twitter for up-to-date information.

We look forward to seeing you very soon!

(Our new executive committee: Theo, Lacey, Annie, Esteban, Andrew, and Rachel)
