Horrified by this deeply disturbing and concerning news tonight coming out of Crown Heights.
Thankful to NYPD for their swift response and have full faith in the NYPD in ensuring we get to the bottom of this to ensure full accountability.
Also thankful for the local officials and leaders, including our clergy, who are always on the ground supporting and lifting up the community.
And thank you @UJAfedNY for your important partnership with @JCRCNY in support of our joint security initiative, CSI, that is a key and important resource for our community’s safety.
I’m honored to serve as Chair of the @NYCCouncil Committee on Finance, appointed by @SpeakerMenin. As families face financial pressures, managing the nation’s largest municipal budget is a vital duty that must deliver a meaningful impact for our communities.
Pro-Hamas chants blocks from where I live followed by this attack on Mississippi’s largest synagogue are not isolated incidents. All acts of Antisemitism must be called out as such.
The arson attack on Mississippi’s largest synagogue is yet another vile attack against the Jewish people and American society as a whole. It must be universally condemned. We stand with the Jackson community and thank law enforcement for swiftly apprehending a suspect.
Hamas is a terrorist organization. Any rhetoric that glorifies them and spreads antisemitism should be widely condemned. Thank you to the @NYPD107Pct for keeping our Queens communities safe last night.
Even when faced with a devastating sense of loss, we will still proudly celebrate Hanukkah — and it gives me hope that @Grace4NY and leaders from every community across New York are right there with us.
Grateful to join Congresswoman Meng today at her Hanukkah celebration.
The @queensfarm is a gem in Eastern Queens-leading the way in locally grown produce and offering family-friendly attractions! In partnership with @QnsBPRichards, @NYCMayor, @NYCSpeakerAdams, & the @NYCCouncil Queens Delegation, we’re proud to support its continued growth. Watch⬇️
My office is working with @NYCWater to address flooding from today's storm. DEP is deploying workers to Springfield Blvd. and the Long Island Expressway, 56th Avenue, and 220th Street. If there are other locations, please email us at [email protected].
Free legal services are coming to #District23! My office has once again partnered with @nylag's Mobile Legal Help Center to provide legal assistance to residents! Stop by the van at Franhill Shopping Center on May 23rd between 10:00 AM & 3:00 PM to meet with a NYLAG attorney!
As we welcome #Passover this weekend, I want to recognize the incredible efforts of @MetCouncil and its partners—@Commonpoint_Qns, @TomcheiShabbosQ, and @ChazaqOrg. I'm thankful for their commitment to combating food insecurity and supporting our communities during the holiday.
Union Strong!
Today, I proudly stood with Local #1049 IBEW members in their contract dispute with National Grid.
Everyone in America should believe that hard work should be rewarded with a salary that ensures enough money to buy a house, educate their children, health insurance, and a retirement free of fear.
My grandfather, a dedicated electrician with Local #3 IBEW, helped light the Empire State Building. His legacy, along with the tireless efforts of countless others, embodies the resilience and determination of hardworking Americans who deserve good wages and benefits. Let us honor their sacrifice and dedication by standing united in pursuing a brighter future for all. Together, we can make a difference!
