RE-APPOINTED CHAIR OF THE
NYC COUNCIL LAND USE COMMITTEE!

 

Grateful to be re-appointed Chair of the New York City Council’s Land Use Committee!

Thank you to NYC Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and my Council colleagues for your continued trust in me.

DISCUSSING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT WITH STUDENTS AT BOLD CHARTER SCHOOL   Thank you Bold Charter School for inviting me to visit your campus and speak with students about the importance of civic engagement! It’s always a pleasure to visit South Bronx schools and interact with our youth. MEETING WITH NYPD BRONX CHIEF GURLEY   Had a productive discussion with NYPD Bronx Chief Gurley on how our offices can work together to help our South Bronx community and address the issues most pressing to District 17. RIBBON-CUTTING CEREMONY AT FOREST AVENUE CAMPUS!    Scenes from the ribbon-cutting ceremony at Forest Avenue Campus to celebrate the completion of partial upgrades to their auditorium! For too long, South Bronx children have been left behind with inadequate learning facilities. To address this issue, I will continue to allocate proper funding for District 17 schools so they can complete the necessary upgrades to eliminate this gap and ensure that our students have access to equitable educational spaces. UPCOMING EVENTS CELEBRATING BLACK HISTORY MONTH AT THE BRONX ZOO    MARK YOUR CALENDARS:  My office will be hosting our annual event at the Bronx Zoo in celebration of Black History Month to honor leaders within our Borough who are creating a lasting, equitable community for us all to be proud of.  *RSVP is REQUIRED to attend.
