I echo @NYCSpeakerCoJo in calling on the Department of Education to make a swift and responsible plan to close NYC schools and after-school programming until the current public health crisis is appropriately addressed. 1/

Kobe Bryant was a legendary basketball player whose work ethic, determination, and rise to success on the court was unparalleled. His love for family knew no bounds. It is truly devastating to hear of his untimely passing along with his daughter, Gianna.

Happy Shavuot! In an ever-changing world, unshakeable faith is often the only constant in our lives. Tonight, the Jewish community will celebrate Shavuot to commemorate when the Torah was given to Moses by G-d atop Mount Sinai.

I'm honored to be working alongside my colleagues, Council Members @CMNantashaW and @CMbarron2 , on our bill Int. 948. This bill would require the NYPD to publicly report data on their operations, including stop-and-frisk, officer deployment, and crime statistics. @NYCCouncil
