Today we honor all those who served & express gratitude to @NYCParks who is working on the pending renovation of the Blissville Veterans Memorial. We express gratitude to @JimmVanBramer who pushed through the funds and are thankful to @QueensCB2 for their support along the way!

Today we are announcing the start of Comprehensive Community Planning in District 26 with @NYCSpeakerAdams and @MTorresSpringer. The community—and not real estate developers—will determine how we use our land so that our neighborhood grows with us affordably and sustainably. 1/

Last night, we had a great night out in community.

1/ Some things to keep in mind ahead of tomorrow's heat wave ☀️ The heat island effect can make NYC as a whole feel 9.5 °F hotter for the average New Yorker, a @ClimateCentral reports shows. For about 48,000 people, it can feel at least 12 °F hotter in their neighborhoods 🧵

Hey, Long Island City! Tomorrow a heatwave will start. Please note that NYS has announced that Gantry Plaza State Park will have sprinklers on for extended hours throughout the park each day of the heatwave to provide relief. Stay cool 🥵

A nice spot in the shade at Windmuller Park for the Queens Community Board 2 Picnic today. Thanks for everyone who joined, can’t wait for the next one!

Queens Community Board 2 proudly marching at Queens Pride in community with our neighbors from across Queens! Happy Pride!

So many board members at Sunny Pride tonight we had a quorum! No need to debate or take a vote though — because we love being in community with our neighbors to celebrate and uplift love, liberation, and justice. Happy Pride!

@CB3Man Support for City of Yes for Carbon Neutrality keeps growing! Last night, @QueensCB2 became the second community board to vote in support of the initiative. Learn more and get involved with your local board:

Happy #Pride! I'll be kicking off Pride month at Sunny Pride, this Friday evening under the 7 train from Lowery to Bliss Plaza. Join me and @SunnysideShines in celebrating the LGBTQ+ community with performances, vendors, and more!

Our office is hosting an emergency donation drive for newly arrived asylum seekers and migrants, along with our community partners at Evangel Food Pantry and @CultureLabLIC. (1/2)

A little (or a lot) of rain🌧️won’t keep us from being in community at LIC Springs today. Great to talk with so many of our neighbors and encourage everyone to get involved with Queens CB2!

Looking forward to being in community today at LIC Springs — community street festival right here in my community! @QueensCB2 will have a table for the full festival and I’ll be there from 2pm on — stop by, say hi, and enjoy LIC! We can’t wait to see you!

Tomorrow we’ll be at #LICSprings! Stop by our table and say hi!

Congratulations to our 2023 class of community board appointees! It was a privilege to swear in such a diverse and dynamic class of public servants last night. And I look forward to seeing what this group of leaders will achieve for the borough of Queens in the years ahead.
