🎥 This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth listen to someone who's lived it, like @LIUNA@MasonTenders Instructor Jamal Fowler, who knows:
"My #Union was pivotal in my recovery.
"We're trying to change the narrative where it's not weak to speak. Right? It's important that we do that."
Today we announced the most ambitious housing plan in our City's modern history: Block by Block.
We're building 200,000 new affordable homes. We're overhauling code enforcement. We're cracking down on bad landlords. We're creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs. We're building new paths to homeownership. We're investing $5.6 billion in NYCHA — the largest City capital investment in recent history.
New York is facing a historic housing crisis. We're pursuing a historic solution.
All hands on deck. All-of-the-above. All for New York City.

Take time today to honor and uplift those who made the ultimate sacrifice to secure our freedoms.
We are forever in their debt.

Démosle a nuestra salud mental la importancia que se debe. Es tan importante como nuestra #saludfísica.

💭 Taking time to reflect on our #mentalhealth can help us see when we might need support.
Let's give our mental health the importance it deserves. It is just as important as our #physicalhealth. Don't ignore the signs.

🎥 It's #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth & Assistant @LiUNAEasternReg Manger @bernardlocal79 has an important message:
"It's okay not to be okay.
"And it's okay to need help.
"We want @LIUNA to be the first place our members go to when they are struggling with anything..."
💪 We are not #alone even if we feel that way.
#Mentalhealth issues are more common than what we may think and they happen to many of us.
Let's talk with each other. We never know who might need our support.
