Speaker of the @council.nyc.gov, proudly representing #TheGreat28 #SoutheastQueens
For decades, the tax lien sale has resulted in New Yorkers of color disproportionately losing their hard-earned homes and assets.

At today's @council.nyc.gov Finance hearing, I spoke about how our City can collect municipal taxes without destroying wealth in our communities.

I spoke with Cheryl Wills of @spectrumnewsny1.bsky.social about what the Jamaica Neighborhood Plan means for #SoutheastQueens.

Thanks to of CM Nantash Williams, @nycplanning.bsky.social, and local residents, this plan will deliver 12,000 new homes and historic neighborhood investments.

Today, @council.nyc.gov passed a major package of bills to confront our city’s maternal health crisis, stemming from nearly a year of work from the Maternal Health Steering Committee I convened.  
 
I’m proud to lead this effort to save lives, expand care, and make every birth in this city safe.

Maternal mortality is an issue that is deeply personal to me and all New Yorkers. We must act with urgency to end this crisis.

I spoke with Cheryl Wills about the important work of @council.nyc.gov's Maternal Health Steering Committee to confront this public health emergency.

Mayor Adams’ misleading ballot proposals 2, 3, and 4 seek to cut @council.nyc.gov out of the approval process for new housing in the name of “fast-tracking” development, but our review period is *65 days max* out of 900+ days total.

They don’t actually address the source of delays.

I sat down with Cheryl Wills to discuss Mayor Adams' misleading ballot proposals 2, 3, and 4, which and will strip away community voices in new development by shifting power from New Yorkers and their democratically elected representatives to unelected mayoral appointees.
