Stop Governor Andrew Cuomo from cutting 100% of funding for Homeless Youth!

Stop Governor Andrew Cuomo from cutting 100% of funding for Homeless Youth!

The Issue

Governor Andrew Cuomo recently took office and he is already poised to make one of the most disastrous political decisions in New York State history. New York State is currently ranked the 12th worst state in the United States with over 45,000 homeless youth, over 18,000 of those under the age of 6 (according to the State Report Card on Child Homelessness conducted by The National Center on Family Homelessness). If these cuts are made, shelters across New York State that house homeless children and youth will shut down, the others will be forced to significantly reduce their services. This would be absolutely catastrophic to our children who are affected by this. Tell Andrew Cuomo and all of New York State's elected officials that THIS IS NOT OKAY!

Nicole SuissaPetition StarterI'm just a college kid with a hard head, a complexed character, a little luck, and alot of idealism. I believe that everyone in the world no matter how young, old, rich, or poor, possesses the ability to change it. Its alot simpler than you might think. All it takes is an opinion, a will, and an autograph. So lets make it happen shall we?
