Happy to give Knicks legend John Starks an assist as we give back to our community tomorrow. If you know someone who needs a turkey, send them over to John Starks Kia at 139-03 Queens Boulevard. Let’s make sure every family has what they need this holiday season.

Attended the Queens UFT Parent Conference this morning and was proud to lift up the power of parent engagement and our historic investments in schools across our borough. Without their advocacy the success of our schools wouldn’t be possible.

Queens Borough President Donovan Richards visited his alma mater, PS 136, the Roy Wilkins School, in St. Albans on Monday to announce $43.7 million in funding for schools across the World’s Borough.

The project could be the area’s single largest investment in housing since the 1950s and the largest expansion of homeownership opportunities in nearly half a century, as 6sqft previously reported.

As @drichardsqns.bsky.social eloquently said, “We can’t talk our way out of this crisis. We have to build our way out of it.” (2 of 3) #TSINY #QueensBP #NYSOMH #NYCHPD #CSH #GreaterJamaicaDevCorp #QCB12 #NYSHCR #NYSOTDA #EdwardBraunstein #DavidWeprin #NilyRozic #JamesGennaro

I began this gorgeous Sunday at St. Albans Congregational Church in Queens, where I was honored to joiin @drichardsqns.bsky.social and Sen. Leroy Comrie. My sincere gratitude to Reverend Wilson and First Lady Sharon Ecke-Wilson for allowing me to join the service and share a few words.

. @drichardsqns.bsky.social knows that working class Queens residents are being displaced because we don’t build enough housing. We’ve lost 200,000 Black residents over 20 years and 140,000 public school kids are homeless. www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/17/w...

Happy Mother’s Day to the queen who fills our lives with love, grace, and strength. Your beauty radiates from within and shines through everything you do. Today, we celebrate you for all that you are to our family. Happy Mother’s Day!

Today, we joined @drichardsqns.bsky.social to bring awareness to the deadly opioid crisis & its impact on the Queens community. In 2023, 463 Queens residents died from an opioid overdose. At the ceremony, they were represented individually w/ purple ribbons. samaritanvillage.org/in-the-news/...

🟣 463 purple ribbons=🕊 463 Queens residents lost to overdose in 2023. Thanks Queens Daily Eagle for highlighting our overdose awareness event w/ @drichardsqns.bsky.social. W/ support from elected officials & the community, we can turn remembrance into action & lose fewer neighbors to overdose.

Yesterday we were honored to host former Mayor De Blasio, @drichardsqns.bsky.social, and members of The Inner Circle as we cut the ribbon on The Inner Circle Collection. The Archives staff is thrilled to be chosen as the repository for the organization's records, and eagerly await this year's show!

The Bayside St. Patrick's Day Parade is always a blast ☘️🇮🇪

📜🎉 #LaGuardiaCC is now officially home to the Inner Circle #Archives! Ribbon cutting today with @samanthaliebman.bsky.social, @drichardsqns.bsky.social, and Bill de Blasio.

Happy Holi from #RichmondHill this weekend….. Let your light shine in this time of darkness. Our diversity is our strength in Queens 🎨

Congratulations to Promise Church on the occasion of your 50th Anniversary 🙏🏾

I'm proud to have invested $78+ million into Queens schools during my term to build more classroom seats, create hydroponics labs and more. But we've only scratched the surface. Looking forward to working with you, @DOEChancellor, to give our kids the best education possible.

We did it!!! #BigQueens

Now more than ever, we need a strong organized labor community that empowers the workers who propel our borough forward. If my office's Labor Luncheon yesterday was any indication, that's exactly what we have here in Queens. You definitely won't find a bigger union town than ours.

@queenscollegecuny.bsky.social held their annual celebration honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy, an event that reminds us each year of the enduring connection that CUNY has with the civil rights movement.

We must accept finite disappointment, but never lose infinite hope. -Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

As the Borough President and the father of a 9-year-old, there are few things more important to me than our kids' education. Great to have new @DOEChancellor Melissa Aviles-Ramos at Borough Hall today to discuss how we'll improve public education in Queens this year and beyond.
