Despite days of warnings that smoke from Canada wildfires would make its way here to NYC, the City issued limited public statements or guidance yesterday. 🧵
Hey! Proud to be honored as part of this group! Support @GowanusCConserv & join in a great party at @BellHouseNY on 5/17 - next week!
I’m Representing FOFA - Forth on Fourth Ave #Brooklyn#green
We're so excited to be honoring the members of the Gowanus Improvement District Steering Committee at our annual fundraiser!
This group has been working to identify community needs & priorities toward forming a Gowanus Improvement District.

We also heard from co-chair of Forth on Fourth Avenue, Grace Freedman (@eatdinner), on the intersecting priorities and policies of sustainable transportation and climate resiliency.
We need a safer, greener, and more livable 4th Avenue! #Fix4thAve!
🚲 Rally & Ride to Fix Fourth Avenue
Join @TransAltBK + @bikenewyork + more to call on NYC to fix Fourth Avenue now by taking action to prevent drivers of cars and trucks from endangering the bike riders who use it.
Meet at Times Plaza at 10:30!
@yatinbrooklyn Cats can help! The other necessary thing is to find and plug all holes with steel wool. Look to where radiator pipes are or plumbing under sink or in bathroom. Patch holes or stuff with steel wool.
Give the gift of art! Many Gowanus artists are perfect for the visually voracious on your list. Check out BK|PU, Established Gallery, @gowanusdredgers and for a retina cleanser once your wallet has been emptied, “Belonging” at the @OSHBklyn. #keepgowanuscreative#buyart

.@CMShahanaHanif and @NYCCouncil38 have been leading on making Fourth Avenue safe for pedestrians!
As the 3 CMs that represent this stretch, we are pushing @NYC_DOT for maintaining the protected bike lanes and safer intersections.
We’re not focusing enough on the practical impact of Zeldin as NY Gov:
* Defunding mass transit
* Cuts to public schools
* Appointment of Trumpian judges
* Resumption of fracking
* Pardon of Trump on State charges
* End to State funding for abortion providers
The threat is real.
I got the chance to meet a mother who lives at CHiPS’s Francis Houses and who posed for me with her child. She’s a single mother, who needed a secure home. When she needed help, @chips4thave helped her. See more art about CHiPS: https://t.co/l9wvc5bI34
We’re so happy to have this #TreeChuang installation by artist Xinan Ran + youth from @beamcenternyc! Come check it out this weekend at the @KingsCountyFest & during @ArtsGowanus Open Studios.
#GowanusOpenStudios is our community’s big weekend - Saturday & Sunday, October 15 & 16 - of ART ART and more ART. We thank those generous folks who go beyond the beyond to support us! https://t.co/mn5K05G8ic
