These cuts directly affect my child's after school and neighborhood. Programs like @cflsunsetpark.bsky.social keep kids safe, teach them life skills and free up parents to work. Thanks @repdangoldman.bsky.social putting a spotlight on this.

Hundreds of kids in Sunset Park rely on @cflsunsetpark.bsky.social for after-school programs and other important resources.

Trump slashed their funding and resources, crippling this vital organization.

The GOP is robbing kids of opportunity in order to bankroll billionaire tax breaks.

For our theater-based Career Day, students from CFL at PS 503/506 were invited to visit the Public Theater in Manhattan last Friday.

Students saw the behind-the-scenes of working in the arts, observed costume making and set design, and even saw a private rehearsal of a brand-new play!🎭
