When Raju and his co-workers came to our office, they were in crisis after months without pay. We connected them with Workers Justice Project, Brooklyn Legal Services, and the Brooklyn DA, and helped the workers through the difficult wage theft case and unemployment insurance process. (1/7)

I was so proud to celebrate Reel Works' new media learning lab which my office proudly funded with an additional $80K. Reel Works has served our community for 25 years, and supported over 10,000 young filmmakers with free training, and real pathways into media careers.

Wishing a swift recovery to the pedestrian struck at Columbia St & President St. We’re in close contact with the 76th Precinct and @nyc-dot.bsky.social. This demands urgent action––raised crosswalks, curb extensions, and daylighting. We’ll keep pushing until these safety upgrades are delivered.

I joined the Carroll Gardens Association to launch their Raise the Rates pilot in our 39th District, a campaign to set a fair minimum wage for nannies at $30/hour. Right now, no minimum wage exists for this essential workforce. Nannies are organizing, and together we’re fighting for $30.

🗣️ The street vending system in NYC is broken.
Together, our amended bill, ⭐Int. 431-A⭐, is what NYC needs to regulate street vending the right way: fairly, consistently and with respect.

Opinion: Fixing NYC’s street vending chaos is a moral obligation – and a simple one
A newly amended City Council bill will create a regulatory system that balances incentives with enforcement and builds dignity for street vendors.

Caught up with PS 321’s brilliant 1st graders who are learning all about their community! They had so many questions about what a City Council Member actually does — and even more about flooding. Future civic leaders in the making!

Redesign for Brooklyn's Fifth Ave. Shopping Strip Puts Customers First - Streetsblog New York City
"The core takeaway from the small business community on this strip is that they want a pedestrian- and transit-priority street," said the architect.
