This week, we continued our commitment to supporting our community members in celebrating Ramadan, hosting free Mammogram screenings, and celebrating International Women's Day! It is always a joy to engage with our amazing community and ensure we keep providing valuable events that meet the needs of our constituents.
In this newsletter, you will find details about the district events that took place this week, along with information on various upcoming events we have planned.
It is an honor to represent you in the New York City Council and continue fighting to keep our community safe, healthy, and prosperous!
Sincerely,

Ash Wednesday! 
 |
March 5th, 2025
Last Wednesday marked the start of the Lenten season, known as Ash Wednesday. This is a time for reflection, repentance, and spiritual renewal.
The ashes we receive remind us of our humility before God and our commitment to growing in faith.Let us embrace these 40 days as an opportunity to strengthen our faith through prayer, fasting, and acts of charity. May this journey deepen our understanding of compassion and the importance of community.
Wishing a blessed Ash Wednesday and Lent to our Catholic brothers and sisters.
Ramadan Mubarak!

Ramadan Mubarak!
Last week, we had the privilege of breaking bread with members of our Muslim community, coming together in a spirit of prayer, song, and unity. It was a beautiful time of reflection and togetherness, as we shared in the blessings of this sacred month.
Thank you to everyone who included us in this special moment and opened your hearts and homes to share this meaningful time with us. It’s an honor to celebrate alongside you and to witness the strength of community and faith that makes this time of year so powerful.
Wishing all of you peace, blessings, and continued joy throughout Ramadan.
Celebrating International Women's Day!

Happy International Women’s Day!
On March 8th, we honored the extraordinary women who make a difference every day—from the dedicated principals shaping the future of our students, to the community leaders advocating for their neighborhoods, to the women in my office who work behind the scenes to support our district.
I am also proud to stand with my fellow women colleagues in government who are breaking barriers and fighting for a better city. Above all, I want to recognize the women of District 13—mothers, daughters, entrepreneurs, teachers, first responders, and so many others—who inspire us with their strength, resilience, and leadership.
While we can only capture a few in a photo, on this day and every day, we celebrate all of you!
Mammogram Bus!
 |
Last Saturday, we were proud to offer FREE Mammogram Bus screenings for the residents of District 13. Early detection is one of the most powerful tools in the fight against breast cancer, and it truly can save lives!
A heartfelt thank you to the foundation for bringing this vital service to our community and helping make essential healthcare more accessible.
It's events like these that empower us to take charge of our health and ensure that no one is left behind in the fight for early detection and wellness. We are grateful for this opportunity to support the health and well-being of our residents!
