Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson - Community Resources & Updates

 

Dear Neighbor,

Thank you for joining us for another week in review.

We are excited for the return of Bronx Week! Thank you to everyone who submitted a healthcare nomination for this year`s People`s Choice Award. We will make the formal announcement of our 2024 inductees to the Bronx Walk of Fame on May 6th. Bronx Week celebrates the people and places that help to make our borough a great place to live, work, and visit and we are excited to have all of you join us this year.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.

 

In partnership,

Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson

IN THE COMMUNITY

We just made history in the Bronx with the first-ever raising of the transgender flag at Bronx Borough Hall! Even as we are seeing an attack on our TGNC brothers, sisters, and siblings across the country, in the Bronx, we stand against all forms of hate and fully embrace all members of our community. Thank you to the members of our LGBTQIA+ Task Force and everyone else who joined us today in solidarity with our TGNC residents in commemoration of Transgender Day of Visibility.

Easter was in full bloom this weekend in the Bronx. It was an honor to join Assembly Member Karines Reyes, NLPOA BX Chapter, the 40th Precinct Council and the Bronx Community Partnership Council, Inc. for their annual Easter Extravaganzas. Thank you to all the families who came out to celebrate with us.

In partnership with My Brother’s Keeper and our anti-gun violence partners, we held a Stomp the Violence event to provide resources and education to better prepare our young Kings for the future.

I want to give special recognition to Jamir Boria for receiving the MBK Leadership Award and his NUMEROUS acceptance letters from various colleges and universities across New York State.

These are the stories we need to amplify of our scholars exemplifying excellence in their communities.

Congratulations to Jamir and all of our MBK fellows!

Our educators provide an invaluable service to our families, communities, and society but we must equip them with the tools to be successful.

I joined with Superintendents Jaqueline Rosado, District 12, and Maribel Hulla, District 10 and the Office of Teacher Recruitment and Quality (NYCPS) for their Teacher Recruitment Fair at Fordham University to encourage the next generation of teachers in our borough to be the change makers our scholars need to be the future leaders of our city.
