We are co-sponsoring this rally. One of our members, Meril is speaking! Come to take a stand against the lack of ppe, the lack of teachers, and ultimately the lack of care for students that went into the reopening plan.

Pull up! We are organizing this because we recognize that the school reopening plan will be a stripped down version of the school we know and love. There STILL lacks so many details, but we know it is going to be underfunded, understaffed, and a nightmare.

Although we did not organize this, our friends did! We learned so much about S*x Work Decriminalization at our last teach in we recognize that we need to take action as femmes. Thus, we endorse this march! We will be there, and so will you!

We know that the new NYC budget has been disappointing for many. We made this play in response to this budget. https://drive.google.com/file/d/19wvp0SW7-DA-oG4q6ozvyWT8iiOlTN_9/view?usp=drivesdk
