Top concerns of small business owners are outdated regulations and daily disruptions.

That’s why I am holding a hearing on:
✅Intro 0799: creating support for businesses impacted by roadway construction
✅Intro 0910: repealing unfair fines on business security grilles

I stand in solidarity with my friend and colleague @OsseChi.

No one should face arrest for showing up for their constituents. Standing up to injustice isn’t optional in this work, it’s the job. Thank you for your commitment to our communities.

[Chi Ossé @OsseChi]

Council Member Chi Ossé was just arrested while defending his constituent, Carmella Charrington, from eviction. This is the result of deed theft and the ongoing displacement of Black homeowners in Bed-Stuy. Our office is closely monitoring this situation and will provide updates as this develops.

As we look ahead to the @FIFA World Cup and excitement it brings to communities through events like Fan Fest, we are honoring the moment and the game’s greatest icons here at home in legislation.

In a district as diverse as ours, this moment reflects who we are.

[Council Member Shanel Thomas-Henry @cmshanelth]

Big day. First bills, real impact.

Today, I introduced my first pieces of legislation before the @NYCCouncil, focused on safety, access, and quality of life our communities deserve. Across the city, this is about listening to our communities, and delivering lasting solutions.
