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.

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!

We rallied to with the Los Deliveristas Unidos and the Street Vendor Project to call for deactivation protections for delivery workers and reforms to our broken vending system. With the federal government targeting immigrant workers, these bills are more critical than ever!

Great to be back at PS 130’s Fall Fest! The performances by Da Fuzz Katz and Ballet Folklórico Mariposas blew me away. So much joy filling the schoolyard as we kick off another beautiful season. Deep thanks to the PTA, school staff, and volunteers for making it all happen!

Big news — the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music is expanding! Twice as many students. Twice as many therapy clients. Twice as many musicians finding their sound. Proud to support BKCM Prospect Park West and to have invested in this next chapter for Brooklyn’s music community.

@vanalen.bsky.social's Fall Fest was such a joy! One of the art projects invited neighbors to draw what makes Gowanus memorable for them, part of a “neighborhood yearbook” that will be archived for years to come. For me, it’s our new office, a true mainstay space for neighbors near and far.

Monthly meetings with the Gowanus Houses Tenant Association keep us aligned on what to push for from NYCHA. The Gowanus Houses Community Center is finally opening — a milestone that's years in the making. So much is possible when elected and neighborhood leaders work together!

Honored to spend time with the incredible students of the District 15 Youth Equity Congress. We talked about navigating bullying and cyber bullying, and how to stand up for kindness. These young leaders are already shaping a more just, compassionate, and inclusive NYC!
