Dear Neighbors,
On Friday, we saw an incredible accomplishment with Amazon workers on Staten Island voting to unionize for the first time in Amazon`s 27 year history. Current and former workers rallied together and organized to form a union to fight for improved working conditions, standardized labor wages, and job protections. These workers have provided nonstop essential services to us for years, especially when they were on the frontlines showing up to work during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Congratulations again to the Amazon workers, the organizers and everyone else involved in this monumental victory for the labor movement!
Last week, we also celebrated the expansion of Planned Parenthood's Bronx Health Center and joined colleagues and friends to break ground on a new state-of-the-art Urban Health Plan facility in Mott Haven.
I also want to remind you that tax season is here. If you or someone you know needs assistance, New York City has a number of free resources available to you and your family. You can visit BronxWorks for more information.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or by emailing webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.
In partnership,
Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson
