Public Officials: Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Lolita Jackson & Pauline Yu: Comptroller William Thompson, Sandra O. Duque: The Comptroller was able to collect one million dollars, for the fifth year in a row, from individuals and firms that have damaged City property. The Comptroller's Office also reported that the online tool Cybersettle has saved the City more than $57 million in settlement costs since its inception in February 2004. Public Advocate Betsy Gotbaum, Simeon Banister: Borough President Scott Stringer, Gregory Kirchenbaum: In April 2008, the Borough President's Office released "Crowded Out" a comprehensive, borough‐wide analysis of residential development and its relationship to local school capacity. Four Manhattan neighborhoods are at risk for serious overcrowding. His office will be helping develop a citywide coalition to ensure the City comes up with a capital plan to bring new schools to these neighborhoods. The Borough President is also urging federal and state entities to commit themselves to the stringent requirements of the New York City Building Code and allow the necessary inspections so as to avoid another disaster such as the one at the Deutsche Bank tower. Congress Member Carolyn Maloney, Victor Montesinos: The Congresswoman helped pass the Credit Cardholder's Bill of Rights which provides more consumer protection and prevents unfair practices by the credit card companies. Congress Member Jerrold Nadler, Erin Drinkwater: Congress Member Nydia Velazquez, Iris Quinones: Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver, Zach Bommer: Assemblyman Silver participated in the NYCHA awards ceremony for outstanding tenant patrol members. The Tenant Patrol Program utilizes volunteer residents stationed in the lobbies of their buildings to decrease crime and loitering. He also attended the groundbreaking for the new expansion of Gouverneur's Hospital which added 108,000 more square feet with which to serve local residents. Finally, the Assemblyman attended a Park Row rally to oppose the new NYPD Command Center which is planned to be built adjacent to Police Headquarters. Assembly Member Deborah J. Glick, Matt Borden: Assembly Member Glick introduced legislation that Governor Paterson signed into law which will help ease the burden of textbook costs on college students and professors. The Act will allow faculty to purchase textbooks without being forced to order expensive "bundles" which may include workbooks or CDs. The Assemblywoman also continues to express her concerns over the natural gas drilling in New York City's Upstate Watershed. The drilling could be leaking toxins into the City's water supply. Assembly Member Brian Kavanagh, Paula Castro: The Assembly Member, along with NYCHA authorities helped re‐energize the Camos Plaza Tenant Association. Elections for the Tenant Association President will take place October 23rd. 2 On September 10th Traffic Enforcement will start enforcing the "Block the Box" legislation which Assemblyman Kavanagh introduced. Blocking the box will no longer be a moving violation which only police officers and a few TEAs could enforce, but rather a $115 ticket which all 2,800 TEAs can issue. His office also announced the kick‐off event to Go Green LES on October 19th from 11AM‐4:30PM on Orchard Street between Grand and Broome. State Senator Martin Connor: State Senator Thomas K. Duane, Romeo Ymalay: Senator Duane is opposed to the New York State Division of Housing and Community Renewal's (DHCR) proposed demolition regulations. He believes they do not address the loopholes that allow disingenuous landlords to get away with 'phony demolitions" and leave tenants victims of illegitimate evictions. The Senator also expressed his support of the Re‐Zoning Plan. Council Member Alan Gerson, Peter Pastor: Council Member Gerson expressed his satisfaction that nearly all key provisions of the DASA Law (Dignity in All Schools Act) have finally been enacted by Mayor Bloomberg in a new Chancellor's Regulation. His "Livability" legislation is finally on the City Council's calendar. On October 16th at 10AM the NYC Council Consumer Affairs Committee will hear testimony regarding two bills: 1. Intro 684 would seek to retrofit all generators used on film shoots to be more environmentally friendly. note: District Manager Susan Stetzer mentioned it might not be legal to single out one industry such as the Motion Picture Association of America. 2. Intro 416‐a was drafted to combat excessive noise from illegal straight pipes on motorcycles. Council Member Rosie Mendez, Jessica Nepomiachi: On August 13th Council Member Mendez testified at NYCHA's Public Hearing on the Draft Agency Plan. She focused on the $195 deficit, urging all levels of government to focus on the critical financial plight of NYCHA. She also attended a rally on City Hall steps and at a DHCR hearing to speak out against new regulations that would codify a loophole in rent laws allowing landlords to evict tenants in order to remove apartments.

  • Dear Neighbor, I Will Start by Addressing the Protests We Have Seen
    Dear Neighbor, I will start by addressing the protests we have seen take place across the country in response to the murders of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor by police officers. To say I’m appalled by these killings is an understatement. It is beyond devastating to witness how black people are dehumanized in this country. We must all look to systemic changes to undo the legacy of hatred and violence that plagues our city, state and country. Two of my legislative colleagues Diana Richardson and Zellnor Myrie both went to observe protests as elected officials. Both were identified as such, but even still were pepper sprayed and Zellnor was handcuffed. How dehumanizing to be state representatives, but only seen as other during the protest. This is a moment for us to act. In the legislature we are considering a range of bills that would increase police accountability and transparency. This is an important first step. For people who have privilege, I urge you to recognize that and think about how you can be an ally. Protest peacefully and safely, listen and show compassion. We are living through multiple crises and I understand many are feeling overwhelmed right now. We need to work together to stay healthy: wear a face covering, wash your hands, keep up social distancing. People are going to protest. I support that. I’m out there too. If you do decide to protest, please do it in a way that limits your risk of contracting or spreading COVID-19 and does not support the physical destruction of communities we have fought so hard to build.

    Co-produced by India Blake / IB Productions Cecelia Joyce Johnson / Deep End Productions FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR A covered mirror. Mourning. Expelling our personal phantoms. These are what initially caused Azure D. Osborne-Lee to write their beautiful play Mirrors. Azure is a dazzling new force in the playwriting community, and New York Theatre Workshop has recognized this, too. We are so pleased that the World Premiere of Mirrors is happening at Next Door at New York Theatre Workshop. Our story begins in the fictional town of Etheridge, Mississippi in the summer of 1960 with Bird – a Black, queer woman (and the town pariah) who is mourning the death of her former love, Belle, and attempting to bond with Belle’s 17-year-old daughter, Alma Jean, who is now Bird’s ward. Though it began with an exploration of death rituals, Mirrors has become a work about the importance of love in the face of grief. And while it is funny and spiritual, it also is an unsparing reminder as to what happens when a larger community deems someone “unacceptable.” Unfair judgments. Isolation. Violence. Discrimination and prejudice at all levels of society are far worse for LGBTQ+ Americans of color. Mirrors is a personal story about death and life in the American South, but it’s also a poignant contribution to the ongoing conversation on social and racial justice, and about the love we find for ourselves and each other when we have the courage to look. At its heart, Mirrors reminds us of the importance of family and community.
