This weekend’s storm had a major impact on blood donations — we lost around 1,000 units of blood that we were counting on collecting. If you’re eligible to donate, please stop by and give when you can ➡️ bit.ly/44i1vQF

I’m declaring a State of Emergency for Nassau, Suffolk, New York City and Westchester as this powerful coastal storm bears down on the region. We’re expecting dangerous coastal flooding, strong winds and potential power outages through the weekend. Take this storm seriously. Stay alert, avoid unnecessary travel, and text 333-111 for realtime updates.

Love to see it! Loew’s Paradise is one of the Bronx’ most beautiful assets, vacant for far too long, right off @FordhamRoadNYC in the heart of my district. After many false starts, excited to see this proposal and the team’s commitment to community access & inclusion.

We're fighting for Green Affordable Homes! We rallied with @GreenCoopsNYC to call for the passage of Intro 1015, which will support 350,000+ homeowners afford green upgrades that lower energy bills and pollution! This is a win-win for the climate and the economy.
