Thank you @NYCMayor, @RitchieTorres, @NYCHousing, @nypl, @althea4theBX, @FlumeInternet for bringing opportunity, information, and education to traditionally marginalized communities. One’s zip code should never dictate access to information. This initiative helps guarantee that.

[LSSNY @LSSNewYork]

Equaling the playing field.

At our St John’s II supportive housing residence in the Bronx, @NYCMayor and @RitchieTorres announced a $2 million expansion to bring free broadband Internet access to over 2,000 low-income residents.  We were delighted to host this press conference

[LSSNY @LSSNewYork]

Over 20% of Bronx households lack broadband home access. 

Thx to @nycmayor, @ritchietorres, @nychousing, @nypl, 2,200 affordable housing apts will have high-speed Internet.

Including our St John’s supportive housing where the press conference was held:

Change must come from communicating. In order to serve, we must examine the systems that contributed to the challenges people face.

What a night! Chef David Kirschner taught us how to make his world-famous pot stickers as we raised money to refurbish our kitchens, which feed formerly homeless, teach culinary skills to New LIFE students, and feed the children in our Early Life program. https://t.co/8k82chfcZl

"This is an affront to families, communities, and #nonprofits." Keith Little of @SCOfamily calls out the City's cuts to #nonprofit indirect funding at @BenKallos's hearing on the topic.

[Damyn Kelly JD PhD @DamynKellyJDPhD]

Thank you Councilmember Kallos, Chair of the Contracts Committee; Councilmember Rosenthal, and the other members of the Contracts Committee for hosting a very important hearing on the impact of reduced indirect payment on the nonprofit community.

[Damyn Kelly JD PhD @DamynKellyJDPhD]

Thank you Councilmember Kallos for bringing this very important issue to light. True leadership!!

[Ben Kallos, Former NYC Council Member @BenKallos]

Thank you to the executives testifying in today's hearing.

They have made it clear that indirect cost cuts present an existential threat to how non-profits operate in #NYC.

[Damyn Kelly JD PhD @DamynKellyJDPhD]

It’s Election Day go out and exercise the greatest right that our country has, the opportunity to vote for those who wish to guide us!!
