For the last two years, Israeli & Palestinian communities have lived in fear and uncertainty as hostages remain captive and the conflict continues to claim lives.

We remember the victims, stand with families, and reaffirm our unwavering condemnation of terrorism in all its forms.

No climate loopholes for landlords! Pass Intro 1180 to cut pollution and lower utility bills!

New York City is a beautiful mosaic of cultures — that’s what makes us one of the greatest cities in the world. As one of 51 in the most diverse Council in the city’s history, I am proud to serve a community with a vibrant Latinx history and be the first Dominican woman to do so.

We remain committed in our fight for street vendor reform that puts people over profits and a well-regulated system over the same old law and order tactics that don't work for NYers @cmpisanchez.bsky.social @cndelarosa.bsky.social
