Visited Highbridge Senior HDFC last Friday for a holiday party filled with movement, joy, and connection. Loved seeing everyone participate and celebrate together. Led by Sofia Ameglio and Marie Pedraza of Dances For Variable Population.

We wrapped up our second annual toy drive last week, serving families at Morris and Ogden Avenues. With support from FDNY, Bridge Builders, and Ritchie Torres, we shared 500 toys with the community. Thank you to our partners and everyone who came out.

On Dec 9, we partnered with The Campaign Against Hunger and Mt. Hope Masjid to get fresh food and essentials to families in our community. Thank you to the Masjid for opening their doors and supporting our neighbors.

NY should be shaping the presidential primary not voting after it’s decided. Senator @JamesSkoufis and I back the move to Super Tuesday so New Yorkers finally get a real say. It’s a simple change with a major impact on our political power.

Checked out Fix It With Piggy’s grand opening at the Andrew Freedman Home. This new community tech hub is giving young people real skills through repair training and digital literacy workshops. The potential is huge for our youth.

Geraldine Minor shares what seniors are dealing with—heavy groceries, unsafe crossings, the Sedgwick stairs, and long detours home. Some stay on the bus to Jerome; others go to 170th for the B. We’re working with the MTA to improve Bx18 service.

The Bx18B changes aren’t working for seniors like Ms. Geraldine Minor. Long waits, unsafe mid-street stops, and double-parking delays are making basic errands harder. DOT says this redesign helps seniors, but that’s not what she’s experiencing. Let me know what updates you believe the Bx18 needs.

This Thanksgiving, we stepped up for our community. With our partners and volunteers, we helped families prepare a warm holiday meal delivering 150 pernil, 821 turkeys, and 300 chickens across the Bronx. Hope everyone had a beautiful Thanksgiving. I see you, I hear you, and I fight for you.

If you’re visiting a loved one on Rikers Island, the NYCDOC Visitor Bus provides free rides on select days. Pick-up and drop off locations are available in Harlem and Brooklyn making it easier for families to stay connected.

On Sunday, I joined NYC Comptroller Brad Lander and former Assemblywoman Inez Dickens at Convent Avenue Baptist Church to speak with the congregation about civic engagement, veterans’ rights, and the civil rights violations immigrant communities continue to face because of ICE.

Sharing a great holiday event at Roberto Clemente State Park! On Dec 13, they’re hosting two wreath-making sessions for teens and adults: 11 AM–1 PM and 1–3 PM. A fun chance to get creative and bring home a festive wreath!

Joined the ribbon cutting for the new Bronx DMV at the Terminal Market. The upgrades and improved layout will help deliver faster, more efficient service for our residents. As an organ donor, I encourage everyone to learn about registering one choice can save lives.

Update on Water DEP crews are responding to a confirmed water main break on Nelson Avenue in the Bronx and have initiated an emergency shutdown. A Water-on-the-Go fountain is available at Nelson Ave and West 167th Street.

Meet Trinity, our Student Ambassador. At last week’s Ogden Market Thanksgiving Giveaway, she helped us serve 100+ families, bagging groceries, handing out turkeys, and supporting neighbors. Grateful for her and her mom for always showing up for the community.

Good morning, We’re aware of the water leak on Nelson Ave between 167th and 168th. DEP is on-site now, investigating and working to fix the issue. Water service is temporarily shut down, and the street is closed. We’ll share updates as they come in.

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone 🦃

We partnered with MS22 a few days ago to bring holiday support to families—refreshments, pantry goods, turkeys, and a raffle. The MS22 band and LEAP dancers made the event unforgettable.

It was great to visit River Park Towers and see our seniors receiving their Thanksgiving food with smiles and gratitude. They always bring such great energy. From there, we headed to IS229 to make sure the school community had the groceries and resources they needed as well.

Our Pernil Distribution took place just a few days ago, and with the help of Camber Properties, we made sure more than 100 families had what they needed heading into the holiday season. We’re grateful to play a small part in helping families get ready for the holidays.

A few days ago, Yonkers hosted the final Black Taskforce Listening Session. State leaders and I heard directly from residents about how the $30M should support Black communities across New York. Their priorities will guide the work ahead as we push for real equity and investment.

Yesterday, I spoke with veterans at the Veteran Action Now Think Tank Breakfast. Their voices make clear how much more we must do to deliver real care, real benefits, and real support. I see you, I hear you, and I’ll always fight for you.

Earlier this week at 92 West Tremont Ave, we helped ensure families had their Thanksgiving essentials. Our community deserves steady support year-round. I see you, I hear you, and I will always fight for you.

A few days ago, Council Member Pierina Sanchez and I hosted a Thanksgiving giveaway at Jerome & Tremont with Morris Heights Health Center, Food Bazaar, and Madd Equities. Committed to supporting families across the District.

Thank you to NYC Veterans and DC37 for bringing us together. Grateful to speak with our veterans about their experiences and the challenges they still face. I’m committed to ensuring they receive the care, recognition, and opportunities they deserve.

We fed 150+ neighbors at Lou Gehrig Plaza yesterday. The need is real. SNAP and EBT aren’t covering rising food prices. We’re pushing for change so no Bronx family goes hungry.

Joined families and advocates at the Second Look Act press conference yesterday. Proud to support Second Look, Earned Time, and the Marvin Mayfield Act. New York needs fairer sentencing and real second chances.

Today we showed what community looks like. Thank you to Childrens Village, Bridge Builders, Hispanic Federation, Con Edison, and Althea Stevens for joining forces in this SNAP Week of Action Thanksgiving Giveaway to support families across the Bronx.

We’re supporting families in need this season Highbridge Green School is hosting an Air Mattress & Bedding Donation Drive from October to December 2025. New or gently used queen-size air mattresses and bedding sets can be dropped off Monday–Friday, 10 AM–2 PM. Every gesture counts.
