Home health care workers have been sitting in at City Hall every day. They're gaining momentum for the No More 24 hour workday campaign. Wednesday, April 7, come rally to get @NYCMayor to fulfill his campaign pledge 11:30-1:00. And to stop the displacement of our neighbors.

Proposals 2-6 on the ballot are not good for our Lower East Side and East Village--or anywhere in NYC. Kathryn Freed gives us the good reasons to vote NO in our latest post, Adams vs. Adams Family Values--NYC Style: https://t.co/qNWEVzksM9

What did NYC learn from Hurricane Katrina that devastated New Orleans 20 years ago--or from Hurricane Sandy six years later? We're still building 1950s style big hard levees (the kind that failed in New Orleans) with minimalist parks on top. See our rant:

We have a history here on Lower East Side with Lenape people that should be acknowledged in Corlears Hook Park and East River Park to educate the community

@NYCMayor @NYCDDC Be sure to read this Mayor Adams since a large portion of East River Park is artificial turf. Still a chance to change that since construction just started on northern end
