Rosh Hashanah begins the ten period day of introspection, awe, and celebration of the High Holy Days for our Jewish neighbors. Shanah Tovah to all who observe.

We spent some time this week sharing dialogue about local issues with talented future journalists with Professor Benitez at @columbiajournalism.bsky.social and community collaborators at @fordham.edu External Affairs.

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 🔗 Read more about our priorities here: nycprogressives.com

Today we remember and honor the lives lost during this tragedy 24 years ago, and never forget the first responders and public servants who answered the call to service in the aftermath.

We had the pleasure of welcoming @nycschools.bsky.social Chancellor Aviles-Ramos and Superintendent Martinez to Mia’s school this morning to kick off the school year.

We’ve distributed over 1,000 bookbags and school supplies to students in Washington Heights, Inwood, and Marble Hill just in time for the first day of classes! Here’s to another successful school year!

One more Back to School Giveaway to warm up for the first day of school! We’ll see you soon, Marble Hill! ———————————— ¡Un sorteo más de regreso a clases para calentar motores para el primer día de clases! ¡Nos vemos pronto, Marble Hill!

No one does it like the Caribbean! Truly an honor to walk down Eastern Parkway with my colleagues and brothers and sisters in labor to celebrate the West Indian Day Parade!

As Civil Service and Labor Chair at the City Council, it has been an honor standing beside the working-class New Yorkers who keep this city moving as they have fought for and won labor protections and better conditions. Happy Labor Day, and remember #newyorkisauniontown

With plenty of snacks and dance moves to go around, we’ve completed another successful giveaway — this time offering services alongside American Debate League, Samaritans NYC, 1010 LECET, and our friends at Dyckman Inwood United!

Almost half of NYC is comprised of immigrants — we ARE NY. I was proud to join @thenyic.bsky.social at the launch of the New York Proud public art campaign because despite the fear that this federal administration intends to spread across our communities, we will not hide.

Our next two Back to School Giveaways are coming up! Priority is given to those with children present. Supplies are limited and will be distributed on a first come first served basis. See you tomorrow!

The 186th basketball court is being renovated, with improvements informed by the community. Construction will begin this Monday, August 18th. Learn more about this capital project with the Parks Capital Tracker: tinyurl.com/186basketballcourt

STATEMENT: @cmsandynurse.bsky.social @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social @cndelarosa.bsky.social @cmjengutierrez.bsky.social @tiffanycaban.bsky.social say the Mayor’s latest move to involuntarily disappear NYers with substance use disorder is an ineffective use of uniformed personnel &..

We love the smiles on our small scholars’ faces when they receive their new book bag and school supplies. We want to start the new school year on a positive note, and providing families with extra resources is one part of that.

WHATEVER IT TAKES: At Thursday’s City Council stated meeting, @cndelarosa.bsky.social ‬will introduce her resolution calling out @nydailynews.com owner Alden Global Capital for harming news in New York City and urging execs (are you listening Heath Freeman) to agree to a fair contract with us…

Updated dates for our #CarmenListens and Back to School Giveaways! We’ll see you at our first giveaway today at Highbridge Park. ———————————— ¡Fechas actualizadas de nuestros sorteos #CarmenEscucha y de Regreso a Clases! Nos vemos hoy en nuestro primer sorteo en Highbridge Park.

Our Back to School Giveaways begin tomorrow, starting with Highbridge Park! Supplies are limited, and priority will be given to those with children present.

The city has proposed 3 NEW locations for the LinkNYC kiosks, and our office has been engaging with OTI on placement. Community input is important. Get involved and submit public feedback to [email protected] by Monday, August 25th.

Tomorrow is our annual Community Picnic, and we have some great activities lined up including zumba, face painting, story time for kids, and a self-defense class. Come prepared for the activities and bring a blanket! We’ll see you at Highbridge Park!

Successful #CarmenListens with ICS @thenyic.bsky.social @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @redcrossny.bsky.social on 207th and Broadway! Lots of Inwood neighbors were connected to legal services, youth services, fire protection, and immigration support while offering their suggestions on improvements.

Local support and positive partnerships from both financial institutions and non-profits make District 10 a better place to be! ———————————— Apoyo local y colaboraciones positivas, tanto de instituciones financieras como de sin fines de lucro, hacen el Distrito 10 un lugar mejor

We issued the following statement condemning the mayor's MAGA move to veto the street vendor protection bill, Introduction 47-B CM Shekar Krishnan's bill is a caucus priority that passed with 40 votes, including unanimous support from our members, on June 30 (1/5)

NYC is under a heat advisory. Please limit activity, stay hydrated, and locate cooling centers near you at finder.nyc.gov/coolingcenters

We distributed flood preparedness kits to 76 households in District 10, along with education about how our city’s water infrastructure works and best practices to mitigate flooding.

Ride on, District 10! This week, we made sure you had safe ways to get from point a to point b with accessibility and affordability in mind.

We are teaming up with the Department of Environmental Protection @nycwater to provide free flood prep kits to residents in flood-prone areas at highest risk. You will also learn best practices and can ask DEP experts questions. RSVP at on.nyc.gov/inwood-flood-prep

I want to re-iterate “Free press is a cornerstone of democracy — we must invest in the people who write the stories that make NYC.” American journalists have courage investigate and freedom to report truths that keep our society informed via newspapers, radio & TV, and Internet sources.

While staff attorneys are struggling to pay their rent, the Big Bad Budget increased ICE funding by 400%. The ALAA 2325 members are striking for increased funding to bolster legal defenses for the most vulnerable, and fortifying the city against a hostile federal government.

We rallied with our friends at @nydnunion.bsky.social to call out the obvious: big venture capital firms should not be stripping our local press to make a measly profit.

Sign up and learn about the accessible public transit options available under the MTA! Presentation will be held Wednesday, July 16th at 5:00PM. RSVP at tinyurl.com/d10paratransit

Summer months means great weather for bike riding, but we want to make sure you’re safe while you’re having fun! TOMORROW at J. Hood Wright Park we’ll be handing out FREE helmets for adults and children along with some additional safety tips.

Allan belonged to us — a Washington Heights neighbor, a brother, a father, a son. How do I return to my constituents and ensure them that they are safe with Lt. Rivera continuing to serve in the NYPD with impunity?

Today, the New York City Council’s Committee on Technology @cmjengutierrez and Committee on Civil Service and Labor held a joint oversight hearing examining the City’s preparedness for the impacts of artificial intelligence and automation on its workforce.

TOMORROW! The Committees on Civil Service & Labor and Technology will take a look into how AI and automation is impacting the city’s workforce. Tune in at council.nyc.gov/livestream at 1:00PM!

NYC is under Extreme Heat Watch. Please limit activity, stay hydrated, and locate cooling centers near you at finder.nyc.gov/coolingcenters

In a moment where our freedoms are under attack and our histories suppressed, it is more important than ever to celebrate Juneteenth. Juneteenth is a reminder that we are not truly free until all of us are free. *Offices are closed in observance of the federal holiday.

Yesterday, we testified with New Yorkers before the Rent Guidelines Board demanding a rent freeze. We are living in a housing emergency. With federal cuts to programs our communities rely on, increasing rent would push people to a breaking point.

Happy Father’s Day to the dads, uncles, grandpas, mentors, and more across NYC! ———————————— ¡Feliz Día del Padre a los papás, tíos, abuelos, mentores y más en la ciudad de Nueva York!

INT 1050-A (sponsored by @cndelarosa.bsky.social) prohibits NYC TLC from requiring no-fault liability coverage greater than 200% of the amount required by state law.

🚨LOCATION CHANGE 🚨 We are skating at the Highbridge Rec Center instead to keep the event going despite the rain. We’ll see you soon!

Skate Night is back! Join @nycparks.bsky.social and Team De La Rosa at Anne Loftus Playground this Friday evening. Jumbo games, music, and other activities will also be available to enjoy. Can’t wait to see you there!

Unions and the working class have always been at the forefront of social change. Make no mistake: the detention of SEIU leader David Huerta is an act of violence and suppression from a hostile authoritarian regime. We will not stand for it, and neither should you. #FreeDavid

Thank you @nycsanitation.bsky.social and 3x3 for collaborating this morning for our shredding and e-waste safe disposal event!

Participatory Budgeting IS participatory democracy! We are proud to announce that our scholars at the George Washington Educational Campus have won the full $1 Million capital project funding through the Participatory Budgeting process!

Thank you to the LCLAA for sharing space at your meeting to discuss what the Committee on Civil Service & Labor is working on at the Council and how we can come together on issues that impact Latinx workers.

Dylan is a high school student in our district — a New Yorker doing everything right. He should be in school with his friends, not shuffled around a disgraceful immigration system. This is not how we treat human beings. #FreeDylan @thenyic.bsky.social
