INVOCATION The Invocation was delivered by Sister Teresa Fitzgerald, CSJ, spiritual leader of Hour Children, located at 36-11 12th Street, Long Island City, NY 11106. Good afternoon everyone. Let us pause for a moment of welcome silence. Loving and gracious God, God of many names and faces, we ask your blessings upon this gathering of the City Council and upon the lives of all New Yorkers especially the poor, the homeless, the unemployed, and the incarcerated. With tender love and compassion embrace those whose lives and livelihoods have been devastated by this pervasive pandemic. May we always walk the pathway of racial justice and equity. We pray that all grow more aware of our awesome responsibility to shape policies and laws that affect the lives of the men, women, and children who are entrusted to our care. As we celebrate Women’s History Month and the accomplishment and goodness of countless women, especially those we lovingly call mother, may we put aside partisan politics and ask for your wisdom and vision on all our deliberations. If our hopes have become faded, revive them. If our ideals have become tarnished, restore them. If our principles have become clouded, focus them. If our values have become confused, clarify them. If our horizons have become narrowed, widen them. Be with us, oh gracious God, in this time and place so that together we might create a future that gives hope and promise and to create a better tomorrow for all who call New York City home and to this we say Amen. Council Member Dromm moved to spread the Invocation in full upon the record. 467 March 18, 2021 During the Communication from the Speaker segment of this meeting, the Speaker (Council Member Johnson) acknowledged that the number of coronavirus deaths in New York City had reached 30,406 as of March 17, 2021. He also noted that it was one year since the COVID-19 virus came bearing down on the city. The Speaker (Council Member Johnson) asked that we never forget all of the lives that were lost and all of the pain that was suffered. He asked that we also remember the unbelievable sacrifice and restraint shown by New Yorkers in the past year. He noted that this same strength and sacrifice would help New York come back stronger than it was before. The Speaker (Council Member Johnson) acknowledged the recent March 16, 2021 mass shooting that took place at several spas in Atlanta, Georgia. He noted that six of the eight individuals killed were Asian women. The Speaker (Council Member Johnson) described the shooting as an attack on humanity. He also noted that this attack followed a pattern of hate crimes and abuse that have been committed against Asian Americans over the past year. He emphasized that discrimination in any form was unacceptable and that New Yorkers must continue to fight anti-Asian rhetoric and anti-Asian hate crimes that were occurring in the city as well. On behalf of the Council, the Speaker (Council Member Johnson) offered his thoughts and prayers to the families of the victims. The Speaker (Council Member Johnson) acknowledged that several more first responders had recently died of 9/11-related illnesses: retired FDNY Firefighter Dennis A. Farrell, 59; retired FDNY Firefighter George H. Wilton, Jr., 69; NYPD Detective Brian Maley, who served the city for 22 years; retired NYPD officer Gerard J. Bowden; and Corrections Officer Conal P. Gallagher, 62. The Speaker (Council Member Johnson) also acknowledged that another New Yorker had recently lost his life during the course of his employment: Brooklyn assistant superintendent Kennie Lessie, 64, was killed on March 5, 2021 while trying to retrieve a neighbor’s cell phone from an elevator machine room. The Speaker (Council Member Johnson) acknowledged that disabilities advocate and activist Edith Prentiss had recently passed away. Ms. Prentiss died on March 16, 2021 at the age of 69. He noted that Ms. Prentiss had fought tirelessly to make the city more accessible for all New Yorkers including those who came to testify before the Council. On behalf of the Council, the Speaker (Council Member Johnson) expressed his debt of gratitude to her for her advocacy. The Speaker (Council Member Johnson) also acknowledged a death in the Council family: Dr. June Kallos, mother of Council Member Ben Kallos, passed away on March 10, 2021. He noted that Dr. Kallos had grown up on the Upper East Side and was a retired behavioral therapist who had taught psychology at CUNY. On behalf of the Council, the Speaker (Council Member Johnson) offered his condolences to Council Member Kallos and his entire family during this difficult time.

    The Geography—and New Politics—of Housing in New York City Public Housing Tom Waters, Community Service Society of New York, November 2018 The 178,000 public housing apartments owned and operated by the New York City Housing Authority are often de- scribed as “a city within a city.” The Community Service Society has estimated the numbers of public housing apartments for the New York City portion of each legislative district in the city. These estimates were made by assigning buildings within public housing developments to legislative districts based on their addresses.

  • Small Donor Matching Funds: the Nyc Election Experience | 2 Ii
    SM ALL DONOR MATCHING FUNDS: THE NYC ELECTION E XPERIENCE Angela Migally Susan Liss Foreword by Frederick A.O. Schwarz, Jr. Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law ABOUT THE BRENNAN CENTER FOR JUSTICE The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law is a non-partisan public policy and law institute that focuses on the fundamental issues of democracy and justice. Our work ranges from voting rights to campaign finance reform, from racial justice in criminal law to presidential power in the fight against terrorism. A singular institution – part think tank, part public interest law firm, part advocacy group – the Brennan Center combines scholarship, legislative and legal advocacy, and communications to win meaningful, measurable change in the public sector. ABOUT THE BRENNAN CENTER’S DEMOCRACY PROGRAM The Brennan Center’s Democracy Program works to repair the broken systems of American democracy. We en- courage broad citizen participation by promoting voting and campaign reform. We work to secure fair courts and to advance a First Amendment jurisprudence that puts the right of citizens – not special interests – at the center of our democracy. We collaborate with grassroots groups, advocacy organizations, and government officials to eliminate the obstacles to an effective democracy. The Democracy Program’s Money and Politics project works to reduce the real and perceived influence of special interest money on our democratic values. We serve as con- stitutional counsel to the Fair Elections coalition, promoting public financing for congressional and presidential elections. Project staff also defend federal, state, and local campaign finance, public finance, and disclosure laws in courts around the country, and provide legal guidance to state and local campaign finance reformers through counseling, testimony, and public education.

Earlier today, Council Members Treyger and Richards issued a separate press release explicitly calling for the Division of School Safety to be removed from the NYPD and transferred to the DOE. Although Teamsters Local 237 represents more than 5,000 school safety agents; and although I have been engaged directly with many of you in the Council about school safety issues in recent years; and although I personally witnessed the transition of the school safety division from the then Board of Education to the NYPD in 1998 as the deputy director of Local 237’s peace officer division; there had been absolutely no consultation with or input sought from Local 237 about this extraordinarily significant policy change before these press releases were issued.
