We brought 👏 Central Brooklyn clergy together for a roundtable discussion on some of the most pressing challenges facing communities: affordable housing, fast-tracking city contracts and economic justice. Co-hosted by @pastormonrose, by bringing community leaders to the table, we can identify the problems and find solutions and make sure New Yorkers have the opportunity to access resources and thrive.

The reliability and affordability of our energy grid must be a priority whenever we asses proposed upgrades to the electrical infrastructure amid the data center boom. ⚡ Read our letter to the NYS Public Service Commission: buff.ly/A45vNPd

It’s been 88 years since Kristallnacht, the “Night of Broken Glass,” when a wave of Nazi violence claimed the lives of nearly 100 Jews and leaving thousands of Jewish businesses destroyed across Nazi Germany and Austria. Just yesterday, on the eve of this poignant remembrance, Jewish-owned businesses were targeted for a boycott in Philadelphia, a painful reminder that antisemitism persists. On this day, we remember those lost and must remain vigilant in confronting antisemitism and discrimination.

It's time to celebrate the triumph of light over darkness, as South Asian New Yorkers kick off Diwali this weekend. ✨ Jackson Heights got the party started early, with a Diwali Mela hosted by the Jackson Heights Merchants Association. I'm grateful to join this celebration as we recognize the deep cultural impact of South Asian New Yorkers. Happy Diwali! 🎆

If you're here, you count, and you deserve to be counted in the U.S. Census. 📈 An accurate collection of demographic information is crucial to make sure all residents have the resources to flourish, both in NYC and around the country. Before the public comment period closed on November 2, I sent a letter to the U.S. Census Bureau pushing back against proposed changes to the data collection process, which could undercount disadvantaged communities and hurt all New Yorkers.

There’s nothing like the @NYCMarathon 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃‍♂️. It’s an all-day feel-good celebration that runs through all 5 boroughs. It’s a day filled with music, nonstop cheering and energy that only New Yorkers know how to bring.

We're going back to basics, to make sure city pension plans are on the right track. 📚 Our office's Bureau of Asset Management (BAM) hosted trustees of the five NYC Retirement Systems to discuss how we are taking care of current and future retirees. From the impact of artificial intelligence, to investments in housing and climate solutions, we are making sure to set up city workers for success in their golden years! 💰

Enrollment at @NYCSchools has been dropping for years, but in our latest report, “Tracking the K-12 Student Population in NYC,” we can see how steep that decline is and which demographics and districts are being affected most. 📉New York City’s K–12 public school enrollment has plunged 19% since 2013–14, shedding 187,000 students. A shift to charter schools, private schools and home schooling doesn’t explain the loss.

The report points to a deeper challenge: families appear to be leaving the city as their children grow older, with the steepest enrollment decline happening between 5th and 6th grade when children transition to middle school. For the big picture: comptroller.nyc.gov/reports/…

Local business owners deserve a streamlined path to outdoor dining permits. 🍔 Our office found the approval process often takes more than 19 months, and entire seasons of valuable business are being left on the table. 🍴 Read the full report: buff.ly/YZ7urbu

Real New Yorkers help their neighbors in tough times, so it's inspiring to see organizations like the @MetCouncil expand to be able to better serve communities across the city. 🙌 With its new 22,000-square-foot warehouse, the Met Council can provide food for hundreds of thousands of people in need. It was a pleasure to join this celebration of service!

When 1237 Myrtle Holding and Kai Management failed to pay the required prevailing wages and benefits to 14 workers, it was time to step in. 💵 Those employees were short-changed about $419,000 over the course of three years, including one service worker who was owed $200,000. Building workers make sure New Yorkers have a safe place to live, and they deserve a fair wage. 🏢

Restaurant owners need faster outdoor dining approvals to cook up something great for our city streets. 🍝 An investigation from our office found the permit process often takes 19 months or more. Since outdoor dining is busiest in warmer months, these delays can mean missing one or even two years of peak seasons. 🗣️ We're calling on @NYC_DOT to stop leaving applicants on the back burner and address systemic issues to speed up the process.
