Dear Friend,
Events over the last week, including the tragic abuse of a 17-month old toddler and two indictments against child welfare workers, offer a sad reminder about the ever-present need to protect our City's vulnerable children.
Meanwhile, the City is currently considering cuts that could result in 16,500 fewer child care slots and a loss of preventive services for up to 2,900 families.
It is important that we tell the administration how vital these child care and preventive services are to New Yorkers.
Can you take a moment to share your story with me on Twitter and Facebook now?
Thank you,
Bill de Blasio
