Gutiérrez recounts rallying outside City Hall three years ago with Councilmember Kevin Riley, advocates, educators, and families to introduce the bill, and reflects on what they have learned from one another since.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

Three years ago I stood outside City Hall with my colleague Kevin Riley, advocates, early childhood educators, and families to rally around the introduction of this bill.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

In those three years, we've been able to learn so much from one another.

Jennifer Gutiérrez

I'm excited to hold this vote today on a bill so many have fought for and to take this important step in improving New York City's early childhood education system.
