On Thursday, June 2nd, over 80 students, teachers, and administrative staff from NMIC's Adult Education Department rallied at City Hall to urge Mayor Bloomberg and the City Council to restore $13.2 million in adult literacy funding that has been cut from the New York City budget. Over, 1,000 Adult Literacy educators, students, and advocates from throughout the city participated in the rally. If not restored, the funding cut would limit NMIC's capacity to offer its high-quality GED, Citizenship, Spanish Literacy, and ESOL classes.
