Proud moment to work on this report alongside such amazing colleagues at the @nycpa @JumaaneWilliams as we launch yet another thoughtful & forward-looking policy report, this time focused on closing NYC’s digital divide, advancing affordable reliable internet access for all NYers

[Office of the Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams @nycpa]

In a digital world, we can't afford to be disconnected, yet many New Yorkers can’t afford to connect.

So in our new report, we're proposing a new way to Get Connected—essentially, by creating a municipal system, a public option for internet service. More: https://t.co/9Iyq2aJZKy

Can New York City provide affordable internet for all? Public Advocate Jumaane Williams thinks so. https://t.co/tmXOSi166C

Ramadan is a time of solidarity.

We pray for the safety of our families and for peace.

We pray for an end to violence and hate, and an embrace of empathy, understanding, and the unity felt in breaking the fast together.

Thank you to everyone who made our Iftaar possible.

Our catch basin cleaning bill is GRATE! It will help to keep our streets safe and subways dry by improving catch basin cleaning.

And @nyccouncil is voting on it today.

P.S. Learn about the Adopt-a-Catch Basin pilot, which we hope will grow:

Proud to work on this important legislation!

@JoannAriola32 @FDNY @OswaldFeliz @nycHealthy @CMRitaJoseph @NYCSchools @DianaAyalaNYC @NYCSanitation @NYCCouncilAyala INT 403-A, sponsored by @NYCPA, requires @NYCWater to report annually on inspection, cleanup, and maintenance of catch basins by community district. It also requires the agency to inspect basins and resolve clogs within 8 business days of inspection or a complaint.

It was a great day to launch the "Ferry-zzano" with @NYCferry—with the St. George route now connecting Staten Island, Brooklyn and Manhattan.

Deputy Public Advocate Kashif Hussain proudly celebrated expanded transit options for Staten Island. Every borough deserves equal access.

Youth vote surged in New York City. Was it a blip or a paradigm shift?

"There is nowhere in our borough–or anywhere across the city–where drivers or pedestrians are safer when their vision is blocked." Daylighting opens up visibility & makes intersections safer, Staten Island needs this too! @Kashif4Progress @JumaaneWilliams

[Office of the Public Advocate Jumaane D. Williams @nycpa]

"Decades of data and study show that daylighting saves lives."

NEW: Deputy Public Advocate @Kashif4Progress writes in @siadvance on the need to implement universal daylighting, a street safety policy to improve visibility for drivers and pedestrians.

Your Ramadan tour and mosque visits that you point to @JeniferRajkumar at the debate tonight is performative at best. It’s a non-starter for Muslim New Yorkers that you didn’t call for a ceasefire in Palestine. We are w/ @JumaaneWilliams as seen by endorsement after endorsement.

@NYSenatorRivera Estimado Honorable Senador @NYSenatorRivera, Zohran ha demostrado tanto talento, habilidades, liderazgo y energía en esta campaña que merece su apoyo. Colóquelo en el primer lugar.

We can support new transit technology AND keep people safe.

New York City's new Americans are making the city a better place.

It was an honor to uplift the accomplishments of the New American Women's and Youth Forums of NY, highlighting youth and women of South Asian descent who are empowering their communities with civic engagement.
