Heading into Fall

September 22, 2016

Dear Friend,

I hope you enjoyed your Summer and are doing well as Fall begins. My thoughts are with those injured in this past weekend’s attack in Chelsea, and I thank our first responders and emergency personnel for their ongoing work.

I wanted to share a few issues I’ve been working on in the community. If you’re looking for more updates, please follow me on Twitter and Facebook.

Small businesses are a path to opportunity and cornerstones in our communities. My bill to support small businesses is now law, so the state does more to help.
I was honored to receive an Our Town Thanks You award from Our Town Downtown, which covered some of the work we’re doing together in Lower Manhattan.
I spoke to Consequence of Sound for their documentary on our broken ticket reselling laws, which I've long pushed to fix.
Every year, I circulate Parent and Senior Resource Guides with great resources available in the district. See my Parent Guide, Senior Guide, or contact my office for a copy.
Brooklyn Bridge Park’s pop-up pool made a splash in our community -- that's why I organized to keep it open, along with community members and colleagues, including a report detailing its importance to our community. Sign the petition online.
I’m continuing my efforts to ensure public access to police body camera footage because police body cameras have the potential to protect everyone involved -- officer and civilian alike -- if their promise of added transparency is realized.
I submitted testimony on the progress, and challenges, still facing public housing (NYCHA), and the potential for improvements.
