A few weeks ago, I received my Master’s of Urban Planning!

It as an honor to join this field where 5% of professionals, who make key decisions on communities, are black ✊🏿

Recently, I had the opportunity to bring together a group of young men representing the next generation of leaders in our city to discuss issues facing young Black men in NYC, as well as opportunities for mentorship, leadership, public service and community organizing. 

As we continue working to address the affordability crisis that has pushed 200,000 Black New Yorkers to leave our city over the last 20 years, it is critical that we bring the struggles of every New Yorker to the heart and solutions of our politics.

This week, the @ooneepod team officially took the @NYC_DOT to court to seek transparency around the secure bike parking RFP process & decision. We did this with great reluctance — we've spent 3 months asking questions but have only received opacity. 🧵

Mark Kelly: "I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane. I've been nearly shot down multiple times. I've flown a rocket ship into space 4 times built by the lowest bidder. And my wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

@NYC_DOT putting a bus lane in an already transit rich neighborhood instead of the transit desert in south flatbush seems counterintuitive?
