Dear Neighbor,
Thank you for joining us for another week in review.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for New York City from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. We are urging our older adults, pregnant individuals, and those with medical conditions to exercise caution and reduce their exposure to the heat. If you don't have air conditioning in your home, please find a cool place to visit nearby. Heat illness can devastate our health and should not be taken lightly. Click here for a list of cooling centers near you.
Call 911 if you or someone you know has these symptoms:
Heavy sweating
Muscle cramps
Lightheadedness/ feeling faint
Headache
Decreased energy
Loss of appetite/nausea
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 THE COMMUNITY
We launched Disability Pride Month at Borough Hall in partnership with Disability Unite and our Disability Advisory Council!
We are intentional in this work to provide access and opportunities for our residents living with disabilities. From employment to housing, transit access, education, job training, and investments in our infrastructure, our team is committed to making our borough more accessible for our residents and their families.
Earlier this year, we hosted a job fair at Borough Hall for Bronxites living with disabilities, announced capital funding for a sensory lab in partnership with Majority Leader Farias to prepare our scholars for life outside the classroom, and currently working on other initiatives alongside our Disability Advisory Council with a focus on equity and inclusion.
Thank you to our community partners and participants for attending and participating in this year`s Disability Pride Month celebration.
We were proud to partner with The Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) for our Annual Abolition Commemoration Day Event. ASALH is the oldest and largest historical society established to promote African American history. We thank the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) for their continued partnership and commitment to highlighting African American culture and contributions to American history.
Our Bronx Summer Concert Series kick-off at the Bronx Night Market was a huge success!
Thank you to Marco Shalma and our sponsors for their partnership on this event, highlighting musical talent and food vendors across the Borough.
We look forward to seeing everyone at our next concert!
