A reminder of why we do this work: uptown in East Harlem, our Miller Mentorship students led a youth-designed event—filling the park w/ meals, backpacks, & joy. Building community & providing resources makes neighborhoods safer & less likely to see violence. 💛

From Brooklyn to Manhattan ➡️ lunch w/ former Assemblymember Michelle Schimel at the iconic NY Luncheonette—just steps from the Midtown mass shooting. We talked about how far NY has come on gun safety—and the urgent work still ahead. (1/3)

The suffering of America's gun violence crisis is concentrated in Black neighborhoods damaged by decades of disinvestment and racial discrimination. Trump is unravelling efforts to solve the problem.

3 lives stolen. At least 8 wounded. More than 36 shots fired in a mass shooting at a Brooklyn lounge. When people in crisis have easy access to guns, preventable violence devastates families & communities with grief and trauma. We need urgent action to stop the cycle now.
