Continue the Fight to Save After School
The Governor's May Revise Budget is Leaving us Out

After School Advocates and Supporters,

Last Thursday, Gov. Newsom released his updated budget. While it had important proposals to serve working families, the budget is missing something equally important: increased funding for after school programs families count on. We issued this statement in response.

We know this is disappointing to hear, especially after so many of you made your voices heard. But it’s not over yet: we still have allies in the legislature working to save afterschool, and they need us to keep up the pressure. In fact, the last time we saw an after school funding increase, it came from the legislature, not the governor’s budget.
