At our 3rd annual Day of Service at SOMOS, we worked to clean and revitalize an important coastal space at Parque de Patinetas de Punta las Marías.
I'm proud of the incredible group of leaders from across the Puerto Rican diaspora who come together to organize this event.

Mayor Adams’ proposals permanently change the city constitution to weaken democracy and take away communities’ power to secure more affordability and public goods from developers and the City. This will last beyond the next mayor, leaving us without democratic checks and balances.

In @nydailynews.com, @nycspeakeradams.bsky.social writes about the misleading language of Mayor Adams’ ballot proposals 2-4, and how they could weaken communities’ ability to gain truly affordable housing and neighborhood investments as a part of new development.
We need affordability that reaches all New Yorkers, not just some. Mayor Adams' ballot proposals 2, 3, and 4 take away communities’ power to demand equitable public goods and deeply affordable housing, undermining our pursuit of true affordability.
Ballot proposals won’t ‘fast-track’ more housing
In New York City’s election, voters will encounter ballot Proposals 2, 3, and 4 that claim to create and speed up housing development.

New Yorkers deserve clarity on the Mayor’s misleading ballot proposals.
Proposal #2 claims to “fast track” affordable housing, but it doesn’t address the real delays: more than 700 days of agency review and months-long post-approval delays at the mayor’s agencies.
