Council Member Marjorie Velázquez - What's Happening in District 13

 

Dear Neighbor,

Every day, women across the world and here in our community, are taking action and contributing to causes they support. Whether they are introducing legislation, inventing the latest technology, or simply being a part of a movement to inspire young girls and women, there is much to celebrate during Women’s History Month. Remember, you are capable of anything you put your mind to, regardless of what others may think.

Earlier this week, our city had it’s first winter storm, prompting the postponement of this year’s State of the District address. Though not an easy decision, the safety of my community comes first - always. An alternate date of Monday, March 13, 2023, at 7 PM, has been set. This year’s event will take place at PS 121, where I will share community updates, legislative achievements, and more. For more information about this year’s event or how to RSVP, please scroll to ‘What’s Happening in District 13.’

In this week’s email, you will find information about legislative announcements, Property Tax Exemptions and Rebates, and career and job search resources. There is still time to apply to the Department of Environmental Protection’s Water Amnesty Program and Citi Bike’s Community Grants; information on how to apply can be found in ‘Community Resources.’ Also, be sure to also follow us on social media for the latest updates and real-time announcements. As the spring quickly approaches, there will be plenty of activities and programs for the entire family.

In the meantime, if you have any questions, please call us at (718) 931-1721 or email us at District13@council.nyc.gov.

Sincerely,

Council Member Marjorie Velázquez
