TWEET NOW - Thank you @NYCSpeakerCoJo

This Thursday is the day of the last City Council budget hearing and then budget negotiations begin. Together, let's make a final push for the City Council and Speaker Corey Johnson to prioritize funding for the human services sector!

SAMPLE TWEETS:

Thank you @NYCSpeakerCoJo for championing the human services sector in every stage of budget negotiations! Let’s bring this home and secure vital investments for community-based human services nonprofits! #YearOfTheCBO

Under the leadership of @NYCSpeakerCoJo, the @NYCCouncil called for a $106 million investment to combat the underfunding of the human services sector! Let’s fight together to ensure this funding is not left on the negotiation table! #YearOfTheCBO

From the beginning, @NYCSpeakerCoJo took a stand against the FY20 budget being balanced on the backs of human services providers. Thank you for uplifting the institutions that make our city strong! #YearOfTheCBO

It takes true leadership to fight to undo years of chronic underfunding in our communities! Thank you @NYCSpeakerCoJo and @NYCProgressives for supporting crucial investments in community-based human services nonprofits. #YearOfTheCBO
