Community Conversation on Health, Justice & the Environment Post COVID-19

In recognition of International Nurses Day, Senator James Sanders Jr. (D-Rochdale Village, South Ozone Park) in partnership with fellow Senator Leroy Comrie along with NYS Assembly Members Alicia Hyndman and Clyde Vanel as well as NYC Council Member Adrienne Adams will be sponsoring a community conversation to strategize on ways to reduce environment, health and justice disparities in Southeast Queens.

This event is conducted in partnership with St. John's Episcopal Hospital.

Among the panelists at the event to be held on Tuesday, May 12th at 3:00 p.m. on Facebook Live will be Jacqui Patterson Senior Director, Environmental & Climate Justice Program at the NAACP and Judith Arroyo, the president of the United Federation of Public Nurses and Epidemiologists Local 436. Her local has over 1,000 active members who are on the front lines protecting the health of New York City’s 1.1 million school children and residents. “Women represent almost half the membership at DC 37 and we need more women to step into leadership roles,” said Arroyo, a registered nurse, who is a U.S. military veteran. “I believes in grassroots organizing—getting to know people and having conversations—to build stronger unions.”
