NYS Senators Eric Adams will join Senator Kevin Parker, Councilman Jumaane Williams and Middle Eastern community leaders to respond to the murders of store workers of apparent Middle Eastern ethnicity.  The elected officials will call on the NYPD to implement an initiative to alert neighborhood employees that fit the description of the men who have been targeted in these cases.
