Our Councilwomen are making HERstory. For the first time in its history the City Council is 31 Women Strong. Every day our Councilwomen embody the spirit of #WomensHistoryMonth. Bringing diversity from across our city these women are taking charge to deliver for New Yorkers.
🚨🚨🚨Update: I am still the Bronx Borough President y’all. Thank you @NYC_DOT for your work in fixing this error. Like I said, we’re trying! Don’t get rid of me yet. 🙏🏾🙏🏾
The Manhattan Delegation of the @NYCCouncil met for the first time today (1/24) & elected @ebottcher & @ChrisMarteNYC to be co-chairs!
In the future we will host budget trainings, sessions with nonprofits, & discussions with the Adams admin.
TY to @PaceUniversity for hosting!
We're happy to share that our CEO, Alicia D. Guevara co-authored alongside Council Member @galeabrewer for an Op-Ed in the NY Daily News. Click our link in bio for their thoughts on the impact of mentorship and elevating women to leadership.
