We were proud to present Camp Friendship a citation this morning to celebrate 5 years of their food pantry program!🍎🥦 They feed 500-600 families weekly and have become a trusted source of help for our neighbors. I couldn’t be more proud to support them! A big thank you to the dedicated volunteers!

Thank you @nycsanitation.bsky.social for a productive walkthrough in Kensington this morning! As the weather warms and more people are out, we're hopeful that increased signage, ongoing engagement, and the solutions discussed today will keep our neighborhood cleaner and safer for all. ☀️🗑️

STATED THREAD 🧵 Today, the Council passed my Resolution 368, urging Congress to enact the Living Wage for Musicians Act. Musicians currently earn less than a third of a penny per stream. The LWMA would raise streaming payouts and ensure fair pay for the artists who power our playlists.

BREAKING: Resolution 368 PASSES! Thank you @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social for sponsoring the resolution in support of the Living Wage for Musicians Act 💪

May is Jewish American Heritage Month, a time to honor NYC’s Jewish community, but also ensure their safety amid rising antisemitism. Following discussions with Jewish leaders & organizations, I authored Int 203 to require an annual public awareness campaign against antisemitism.

Dignified Food Access! Remarks from my hardworking council member: @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social

I'm grateful for the 60 @fdny.bsky.social and EMS personnel who responded to this morning's fire in Kensington. I'm relieved that no one was injured. My office is in contact with responding orgs offering additional resources to affected residents as they navigate this challenging time.

Our office will be closed on Monday, May 26, in observance of Memorial Day. You can still reach us at [email protected] or leave a voicemail at (718) 499-1090, and we will respond once we return on Tuesday, May 27.

Yesterday, I announced an additional $20k for Gotham Food Pantry & CHiPS to cover costs previously funded by federal programs. As Trump, Musk, & Congressional Republicans cut anti-hunger initiatives, I'm proud to support these orgs in continuing their work in our community.

🚉Transit Alert: Starting tonight, through Tuesday, 5/27, @nyctransit.bsky.social will conduct crane operations to support escalator replacements at the Smith/9th Street station. Crews will remove old escalators and install new equipment through the station roof. Here's what to expect 👇

Seven state and local leaders from BK endorsed our Crisis to Care plan, a blueprint to true community safety. Their support comes just in time for today’s Executive Budget hearing with the Committee on Mental Health, Disabilities, and Addiction, where we’re calling for real investment in care.

Heartbroken by the tragic murder of Israeli Embassy aides Yaron Lischinsky & Sarah Lynn Milgrim outside an AJC event in DC. There is no justification for this violence. Antisemitism is dangerous & unacceptable. It has no place in our communities, the pro-Palestinian movement or anywhere else. (1/2)

Our Caucus Co-Chairs @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social and @cmsandynurse.bsky.social, and Vice Co-Chairs @cmjengutierrez.bsky.social and @cndelarosa.bsky.social issued a statement in response to a targeted shooting outside the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington D.C.:

Not having a library has been a real loss for Carroll Gardens. I’ve heard it from so many of you. That’s why we got to work — organizing across agencies to open a temporary library around the corner, coming this July. I’m proud to help bring this to life for our community 📚

I joined the Coalition for Equitable Education Funding ahead of today’s Budget Hearing. This year’s budget still keeps too many families guessing if support will be there next year.  I’m proud to stand with them to demand lasting investments in our kids, schools, & futures.

An incredible display of #ParksPower yesterday in front of Brooklyn’s Backyard, calling to baseline $79M for 795 @NYCParks positions, which are key to NYC’s public safety, resilience & community well-being. Our parks sustain us -- it’s time that we have a budget to sustain them! 🌳🍃

Why must we beg for this EVERY year? NYC Parks offer climate and health benefits to all New Yorkers, and should be a funding priority to keep them well staffed and maintained. #PlayFair @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social

Join me at the Grand Army Plaza entrance of Brooklyn’s backyard to demand full funding for our parks! We must baseline $79M for the 795 critical parks positions omitted from Mayor Adams’ Executive Budget. Parks are essential neighborhood spaces. Let’s make sure we fund them!

The vibrancy of our parks and green spaces is what makes NYC a world class destination. Keeping them clean, green and safe is a top priority. Here are the Council’s proposed investments to achieve that goal that the Mayor's Executive Budget left out. 🧵

Join @NY4ChildCare this Saturday, 5/17, at JJ Byrne, Greenwood, or other playgrounds across NYC to tell Mayor Adams to fund Universal 2-Care! Child care isn’t just a family issue. It’s an economic issue that affects us all. It’s time that our City adequately invests in it!

Congratulations to Ezras Nashim on launching their second ambulance! My office was proud to join a ribbon-cutting to celebrate this weekend. Their work ensures women get compassionate, modest care that honors their values. 🚑 I'm so proud to support their growth in our community 🎉
