Are we surprised? While the Homeless Industrial Complex pay their CEO’s nearly $1 million a year running terrible shelters, our communities suffer. I've raised the alarm on this scam for years, but it continues to fall on deaf ears at City Hall. (1/3)

Twenty-three years ago, our city, nation, and world changed forever. We will never forget the heroes who paid, and continue to pay, the ultimate sacrifice.

Stella had been asking me to take her to the site of the Nova Massacre for a while. I wasn’t sure if it would be too much for an 11-year-old, but she was insistent. I wasn’t planning to have Ira film, but what she said was so profound that it needed to be shared. 💔

There is no better way to celebrate New Year than w/CI Sharks (President - Priscilla Santos) at Luna Park! TY, Alessandro & Tracey Zamperla @LunaParkNYC, for partnering w/my office & sponsoring free ice skating & rides for 100 Coney Island kids & their parents! Happy New Year!

My dear friends! Happy New Year and Best Wishes! It was a huge honor and privilege of my lifetime to represent beautiful communities of the 47th District in NYC Council. Thank you for this amazing opportunity and your trust. Have a prosperous, lucky and safe 2024!

Rabbi David Okunov (Warbasse Jewish Heritage Congregation) is a great caring community leader. During the pandemic, he hosted many food distributions & personally delivered food packages to seniors & ppl w/disabilities. Was happy to join Rabbi & present him @NYCCouncil Citation.

Update from O’Dwyer Gardens. @NYCHA emergency workers did show up and started to fix broken pipes. They temporary stopped bursting water and continue working to resolve the issue.

Thank you Councilman! We appreciate you and everything you have done to support our work! 🙏

I have just sent to @NYCHA emergency team all the information about serious water bursting problem in O'Dwyer Gardens, 2975 West 33rd Street, the entire F-line (from the 8th floor to the 1st floor). Will follow up again until the problem would be resolved.

@JCCGCI serves youth & seniors, families in need, job seekers & ESL students.The magnitude of the JCCGCI work is really impressive. I was privileged to secure funding from @NYCCouncil to their critical programs & provide support for its mission. Happy 50th Birthday, @JCCGCI! 2/2

Was proud to celebrate the 50 years of JCC of Greater Coney Island’s service to Southern Brooklyn and other communities. Under the leadership of Rabbi Moshe Wiener, @JCCGCI have become a premiere umbrella group uniting senior centers, important programs & non-for-profit orgs. 1/2

Shawn Hodges is the owner of Community Driving Program. He offers free driving lesson to teens ages 16-18 who sign up when he attends various Coney Island events and job fairs. Shawn also offers a discounted rate to NYCHA residents, students, & other community members. Congrats!

Was happy to present ⁦@NYCCouncil⁩ Citation to Rabbi Pinny Marozov from Chabad of Coney Island. He is a great spiritual leader who helps hundreds of ppl with his advice, guidance and support. Congratulations!

Again, I strongly opposed to the congestion pricing - together with members @NYCCCommonSense. I believe this is another unfair tax/fee on hardworking New Yorkers, small businesses and seniors traveling to Manhattan for medical appointments. 3/3

Public comment period until March 11: I posted the info about ways you can contact the MTA. The MTA will also hold four hybrid virtual/in-person public hearings in February and March. Please, make your voices heard. 2/3

Viktoriia Viennikova is a leader in Ukrainian American Community. She supported young talents & wounded Ukrainian soldiers, performed Ukrainian & American songs @ charity event in CI & Eastern European Heritage Day in Gracie Mansion. Was glad to present her @NYCCouncil Citation.
