@notchrisvolpe I can't message you but if you're one of the downtrodden many getting overcharged, my DM's are open & I'm all ears

People with Apple Pay... are you continuously robbed of the "ride 12 times and get the rest of the week free" OMNY deal? Send me some screenshots if you feel so inclined.

New @CityLimitsNews: I went long on legal services providers' new ask for $461 million to fund Right to Counsel, and what it would mean for the program to live up to its name: "Everyone wants us to run and twirl but we’re barely out of the crawling stage." https://t.co/My6rmlUxNn

@emma_a_whitford @frankfesta_ Your support in this reporting was crucial! Thank you:)

"The last way most New Yorkers want to spend a Friday night is attending a public hearing on Zoom."

Delighted to share White Lies Season Two — it’s been a long time coming and I couldn’t be more proud & humbled to be a part of the team:)

[NPR @NPR]

White Lies returns with a new season to search for the men in an old photograph. A photograph of men on the roof of a prison in rural Alabama unfurling a bedsheet that says, “Please media, justice, freedom or death.”

NYC’s Right to Counsel law represented an unprecedented commitment to housing equity in the US. @frankfesta_ and @AnnieIezzi from @CityLimitsNews break down how and why the law has done far from what it has promised.

[John Surico @JohnSurico]

Thrilled to see two (recent) alumni of the Reporting the Nation/New York program at @nyu_journalism get their important story about the Right to Counsel law's shortcomings published on @CityLimitsNews this morning. Fantastic student journalism in action. https://t.co/Vpn894fNDM

[Annie Iezzi @AnnieIezzi]

Several months of digging and mountains of gratitude later - check out what @frankfesta_ and I uncovered about NYC’s Right to Counsel program falling short.

[City Limits @CityLimitsNews]

The city’s trailblazing program to provide free legal help to low-income tenants facing eviction has declined more than 10,000 cases since March 2022, as providers struggle to keep up.

“There are people who are falling through the cracks.”

Because a mission of @THECITYNY is to capture life's joys, sads & beats for all kinds of New Yorkers, we asked @AnnieIezzi to take another look at Queer Riis Beach in August, as the summer season came to a close.

[Richard Kim @RichardKimNYC]

Back in early May, before summer had even started, @katie_honan & @AnnieIezzi reported for @THECITYNY on the demolition of Neponsit Adult Home & possibly the end of The People's Beach at Riis Park as we know it.

[Annie Iezzi @AnnieIezzi]

@luke_szabados @THECITYNY Thanks for pointing that out! Riis Beach is actually a federal beach, not a city beach, so that's where the confusion was. It should be more clear now

[The City Reporter @THECITYNY]

With Neponsit Hospital on Bay 1 of Jacob Riis Beach set to be demolished, queer beachgoers there rejoiced in the fourth annual “Ms. Colombia Walk,” even as the beach haven faces an un-shore future.

[Annie Iezzi @AnnieIezzi]

@RichardKimNYC @pm_jawn Honored to cover this place and the people who make its legacy-and to write with an outstanding team☀️

[Richard Kim @RichardKimNYC]

Thanks to @AnnieIezzi for capturing a very special NYC place in flux.
“I asked Ms. Colombia, girl to girl, how she’d like to be remembered,” said Cruz, “And she told me, ‘As an artist who paints smiles on people’s faces.’”
