Inspired yesterday to join a few hundred #nonprofit leaders literally making our city and neighborhoods safer, stronger, healthier, and more resilient.

This work is essential, and supporting this work is essential.

No silver bullet for addressing our multi-layered #mentalhealth crisis, but this approach via @repdangoldman.bsky.social for funding expanded services + more psychiatric beds is a huge piece of the puzzle.

Setting aside the 2x price tag and years late - If NYC DOC isn't able to put these beds to use NYC DOHMH or NYS OASAS should take it over and put to immediate help with chronic street SUD/SMI pop!

Nonprofits are being squeezed from all sides. The City continues to delay payments on contracts for critical services, while potential federal funding cuts loom.

@govkathyhochul.bsky.social's budget proposal broke our hearts. 💔 Instead of a full 7.8% investment in human services, she proposed a 2.1% “inflation adjustment,” falling short of the wages and funding we deserve.

No other biz sector wld put up with this.

Late payments to #nonprofits went from 88.5% in FY23 to 90.7% in FY24. Almost 40% of contracts are over a year late. Time for @hsany.bsky.social

Yes, please!
@doriskgoodwin.bsky.social on dream idea to get us past community/political siloing and polarization = #nationalservice requirement.

Shared service to country. Meeting/seeing new and different people/places. Being part of something bigger than oneself.
