Was happy to join @SenSteveChan, other electeds & community leaders, @NYPD62Pct at the Lunar New Year Parade hosted in Bensonhurst by Chinese American Social Services Center (leaders Dr. Tim Law & Angel Wu) & other local orgs.
Despite bad weather, everyone enjoyed the parade.

[Senator Stephen T. Chan @SenSteveChan]

@AriKagan48 @NYPD62Pct Looking good, Ari! Weather could always be better but the parade was fantastic.

Our new snowfall totals are between 16 to 24 inches, with the highest totals at the coast.

[NYPD NEWS @NYPDnews]

As the blizzard continues to intensify, our officers will be out there keeping the city safe.

We remind all New Yorkers that a travel ban is in place for non-essential vehicles, with limited exceptions, from 9PM tonight until 12PM tomorrow.

For your safety, stay indoors.

[Senator Stephen T. Chan @SenSteveChan]

There we have it. New York City public schools will be closed Monday for a traditional snow day.

[Senator Stephen T. Chan @SenSteveChan]

Today, we are experiencing severe blizzard conditions across the Northeast. Expect heavy snow, strong winds, and poor travel conditions.

Expect snow totals of 12-18 inches and wind gusts of 50-60mph.

New York is under a state of emergency.

[Senator Stephen T. Chan @SenSteveChan]

Best believe, I’ll be comparing notes from what I heard and what the city heard.

Translation available!

[Senator Stephen T. Chan @SenSteveChan]

On Tuesday, February 24th at 6:00 PM, the City, HPD, and the Brooklyn Public Library will host a Community Engagement Meeting to share what they heard from neighbors during the community visioning process for the NEW New Utrecht Library and Affordable Housing project.

[Senator Stephen T. Chan @SenSteveChan]

Ramadan Mubarak to all who observe. May this holy month bring peace, reflection, strength, and blessings to you and your loved ones.

[Senator Stephen T. Chan @SenSteveChan]

Today, we honor the presidents of our great nation, past and present. Over 250 years, 45 men have served as Commander in Chief, each playing a vital role in our nation's history. We thank them for their service to the United States of America and for leading the free world

[Senator Stephen T. Chan @SenSteveChan]

Today, we honor one of our nation’s great uniters. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. pioneered racial unity in America. Through peaceful protest and powerful speeches, he helped lead to the 1964 Civil Rights Act, making racial equality the law.

HAPPENING NOW:

We’re here on Broadway for the rally against COPA.

More to come!

[Senator Stephen T. Chan @SenSteveChan]

TODAY: Join me in our rally on 250 Broadway, 11 AM.

New Yorkers deserve fairness, transparency, and respect when it comes to their homes and livelihoods.

COPA gives government agencies undue control over private property sales.

More to come!

[Senator Stephen T. Chan @SenSteveChan]

TONIGHT: Beginning at 5:30pm, I and AM Colton will be hosting a town hall regarding the New Utrecht Library redevelopment.

We’ll be discussing everything from safety and affordability to the number of units being built.

Please attend if you can!
