Senator Jesse Hamilton Hosts “Summer at the Subway” in Brownsville

Continuing Senator Hamilton’s commitment to bring resources out into the community. 

(Brooklyn, NY – July 29, 2015) – Senator Jesse Hamilton hosted Summer at the Subway yesterday at Sutter Ave. and East 98^th Street, continuing Senator Hamilton’s commitment to bringing the services and resources of the office out into the community. Senator Hamilton was joined by his constituent services team and the event featured performances from the Q City Soundz Stage Band, the Gowanus Wildcats Drill Team, and poets from the Green Earth Poets Café.

Every Tuesday in July, Senator Hamilton has hosted a Summer at the Subway event at a different subway station in Central Brooklyn. Senator Hamilton launched his Summer at the Subway series at Crown Heights-Utica with his 20^th Senate District Office team on July 7th, meeting more than fifty constituents who had an opportunity to share their concerns and receive assistance. The series then visited the Franklin Ave/Botanic Gardens and then went to Sunset Park at the 59^th Street and 4^th Avenue Station. At each Summer at the Subway, residents have connected with community resources or shared neighborhood concerns.

Senator Hamilton said, “Everyone can’t make it to the District Office, that’s why we hold events in libraries, community centers, and at subway stations – to connect with neighbors, share community resources, and listen to concerns. And I thank all the community partners, like Q City Soundz Stage Band, the Gowanus Wildcats Drill Team, and the Green Earth Poets Café, who help to make Summer at the Subway a fun and engaging event.”
