Join us in calling!

Here’s a script with instructions bit.ly/3KM9Eq9 , and you can look up your city council member here : council.nyc.gov/districts/

A meme based on the movie Mean Girls where one of the popular kids says “on Wednesdays we wear pink”, this image shows two characters from the movie at a lunch table with the text “on Wednesdays we demand %.5 of the city budget for library funding”
