THE WEEK IN REVIEW

DISCUSSING ALL THINGS DISTRICT 17 ON ‘JUST LOVE LIVE’!
 
🎥 Stopped by Manhattan Neighborhood Network to discuss all things District 17 with Catholic Charities of New York and Luz Tavarez on ‘Just Love Live’! 

Stay tuned for details on when you can catch our episode!


CELEBRATING THE POINT CDC!
 
👏Congratulations The Point CDC on being named Citizens Bank’s ‘Champion in Action’ for Promoting Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Across the South Bronx. 

With the announcement of a new $50,000 grant, The Point will be able to continue battling the environmental racism faced by our community, building upon such wins as the:

🔹Sheridan Expressway conversion to Sheridan Boulevard
🔹The Bronx Metro-North Station Area Plan
🔹Spofford Juvenile Detention Center conversion to affordable housing units - The Peninsula

👉 Due to a historic lack of investment in our Borough, Bronxites have fallen victim to numerous health battles caused by inadequate environmental quality. As an asthmatic whose health has suffered as a direct result of such negligence, I will continue advocating on behalf of organizations like The Point who are working to reverse environmental inequity in the Bronx.
