🎥 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."

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

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.

🇺🇸 On #MemorialDay, we remember the brave men and women of our Armed Forces who gave their lives in #service of our nation.

Take time today to honor and uplift those who made the ultimate sacrifice to secure our freedoms.

We are forever in their debt.

💭 Si somos consientes sobre nuestra #saludmental identificaremos cuando necesitemos apoyo.

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..."

[Laborers Local 79 @local79nyc]

💪 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.
