Dear Norm --
Please join us at a Rally for Maya Wiley and Smaller Classes!
When: Sunday, June 13 at 10:40 AM
Where: Jackson Heights, Queens at 81 St. and 34 Ave.
Map here. Nearest subway: 82nd street (#7 line) or Roosevelt Av/Jackson Heights (#7/E/F/M/R).
As you know, NYC Kids PAC endorsed Maya Wiley for Mayor a month ago -- in part, because of her strong advocacy for smaller classes and other progressive education policies.
Since we endorsed her, Maya has also been endorsed by AOC, Diane Ravitch, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Representatives Jamaal Bowman, Nydia Velasquez, Hakeem Jeffreys and many other trusted leaders & organizations and has been quickly rising in the polls.
Please join us and bring signs if you can! You can also volunteer for her campaign here.
2. Today is the first day of early voting. You can find your polling site here. You can also download and/or print all our endorsements on one handy page to take to the polls.
3. Our friends at Class Size Matters have prepared a handy guide with charts comparing all the leading mayoral candidate's positions on education, from charters to Mayoral control to class size. Please check it out. It includes a reference to what Eric Adams claimed at a mayoral forum last fall: that good teachers can teach 300-400 students remotely. If we’ve learned one thing from the pandemic, is that remote learning with large classes doesn’t work.
Hope to see you this morning in Jackson Heights!
Thanks,
NYC Kids PAC
She’s just another typical politician using the progressive label to get elected. I’d rather Sliwa than her. At least he’ll make me laugh once in a while.
