This report summarizes the main takeaways from this forum, highlighting the key issues and the actionable steps that can be taken to remedy them.

  • EPL/Environmental Advocates
    THE NATION NEEDS NEW YORK Each January, the state Legislature gathers for a six-month session to grapple with the pressing issues of the day and to advance public policy that will make our state a better place in which we live, work, and play. Over the years, New York has set the tone for enacting bold laws to protect the environment, to cut pollution, and to improve the health of our communities and people. In the late 1800s we enacted the forever-wild provision of the state Constitution; in the 1980s we adopted the nation’s first acid rain law and the bottle bill; and, we have the most comprehensive environmental quality review act in the nation. It is truly breathtaking what can be achieved when the Legislature focuses and commits to protecting the environment. The 1993 session is a prime example of what is possible – in that year, agreements were forged to enact the Long Island Pine Barrens Protection Act, the Environmental Protection Fund, and the Clean Air Compliance Act! We chose an image for this year’s cover that depicts all that is at-risk if our leaders fail. For sure we have made enormous progress that we don’t want to lose. But, community character continues to be challenged by overdevelopment, we struggle to provide safe water for drinking, and we have too many people exposed to air pollution that can make them sick. As we bear witness to what is shaping up as the most anti-environment federal government (Congress and the Administration sharing this equally), the question for all New Yorkers is: are our leaders ready to embrace the challenge and demonstrate to the nation how strong environmental laws and standards lead to the progress and prosperity we all need? 2 EPL/Environmental Advocates is one of the first TABLE OF organizations in the nation formed to advocate for the future of a state’s environment and the health of its citizens.

Mescain District Manager March 23, 2021 Honorable Andrew Cuomo Governor of New York State NYS State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Re: New York State Senate Bill S4461 Dear Governor Cuomo, Community Board 11 supports Senate Bill S4461, which enacts The New Deal For CUNY. This legislation restores free tuition and establishes minimum staff-to-student ratios for mental health counselors, academic advisors and full-time faculty at CUNY over a period of five years. The State’s current practice of funding CUNY with yearly tuition hikes has left CUNY vastly underfunded and left CUNY’s student body without the support they need to succeed. Waiving tuition and establishing minimum staff-to-student ratios would reestablish CUNY as an engine for social and economic mobility for low-income New Yorkers and people of color. Communities like ours in East Harlem were disproportionately impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our economic recovery from the COVID crisis relies on A New Deal for CUNY. This landmark legislation will transform New York's education system, economy and society, positioning us to recover stronger and better from this crisis. Investment in CUNY is a key to a just future for New York. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions. Sincerely, Nilsa Orama Chair Community Board 11 cc: Hon. Brian Benjamin, New York State Senate (via email) Hon. José M.

  • New York Legislators Call on Cuny Administration to Stop Cuts and Layoffs
    NEW YORK LEGISLATORS CALL ON CUNY ADMINISTRATION TO STOP CUTS AND LAYOFFS May 27, 2020 William C. Thompson, Jr. Chairperson, Board of Trustees The City University of New York Félix V. Matos Rodríguez Chancellor, The City University of New York 205 East 42nd Street New York, NY 10017 Dear Chairperson Thompson and Chancellor Matos Rodríguez: We write as elected officials of New York City and New York State who strongly support The City University of New York. We want to express our concern about plans announced by CUNY colleges to lay off hundreds of adjunct faculty by May 29 and cut course offerings for the fall by as much as 35 percent. New York will need CUNY more than ever as we seek to rebuild the economy. The communities that have borne the greatest loss of life and employment during the pandemic are exactly the communities whose members rely on CUNY and who will turn to CUNY to rebuild their lives. New Yorkers from all parts of the city and surrounding region will need CUNY as they seek to gain new skills and earn college degrees. Reduced course offerings, fewer faculty and over-sized classes will leave CUNY under-prepared to support the students whose need for support is greatest. A strong and fully staffed CUNY is a unique and essential resource for New York’s recovery. While we are painfully aware of the budgetary crisis facing the City and State, we believe that the CUNY administration should pursue every alternative before reducing course offerings and enacting mass layoffs. The CARES Act allocated more than $100 million to CUNY for institutional support during the crisis, with an explicit provision about keeping employees on payroll.

    May 13, 2020 Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House United States House of Representatives 1236 Longworth HOB Washington DC 20515 Charles Schumer Minority Leader United States Senate Russell Wilson Senate Building Washington Dc 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Minority Leader Schumer: First off we’d like to thank you, on behalf of our constituents and all New Yorkers for the work you’re doing during the COVID-19 global pandemic. We write to you today to bring up concerns we have been hearing from small businesses regarding the conditions and terms of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP). The requirement that businesses allocate 75 percent of the loan money to cover payroll costs, with only 25 percent allowed for other overhead in order for the loan to be converted to a grant, is simply not feasible for many small businesses in areas affected by COVID-19. The terms of the PPP leave only a mere eight weeks to rehire their payroll. For many, this will fall within the month of June when our state will only be in the early phases of reopening. In regions such as New York City that are unable to open up and will have a slow phase in, these restrictions to converting the funds to a loan will not be able to be met and will do further harm to those who will now be saddled with additional debt or forced to lay off their workers again. Most small businesses that are in the hospitality industry are closed or employing only a skeleton staff as a result of Governor Cuomo’s NY PAUSE order.

  • New York Officials and Community Organizations Call for Passage Of
    New York Officials and Community Organizations Call for Passage of the Less is More Act (S.1343B – Benjamin / A.5​ 493A – Mosley) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ New York reincarcerates more people on parole for technical violations like missing an appointment with a parole officer, being late for curfew, or testing positive for alcohol than any 1 state in the country except Illinois. Of people on parole whom New York sent back to prison in 2 2016, over 6,300 or 65% were reincarcerated for technical parole violations. Nearly 1/3 of the new admissions to state prisons are due to people reincarcerated for technical violations of parole. Only 14% of people on parole who were reincarcerated were returned to prison because 3 they were convicted of a new crime. The racial disparity is stark: Black people are incarcerated 4 in New York City jails for technical parole violations at more than 12 times the rate of whites. There are approximately 35,000 people under active parole supervision in New York State who at almost any time can see their efforts to successfully rejoin the workforce and reintegrate into 5 their families and their communities disrupted by reincarceration for a technical violation. This not only harms individual lives and families without commensurate public safety gains, but also drives up the population in the state prisons and local jails, wasting taxpayer money. The Less is More: Community Supervision Revocation Reform Act would fix this ​ ​ problem. Developed by people on parole, people currently incarcerated, family members, and groups across NY, the bill is sponsored by Sen. Brian Benjamin (S.1343B) and Assm.

  • Senate Majority Protects New Yorkers from “Revenge Porn”
    For Immediate Release: February 28, 2018 Contact: Gary Ginsburg | [email protected] | 518-455-2415 Senate Majority Protects New Yorkers from “Revenge Porn” Passes Senator Monica Martinez’s Legislation to Create a New Crime (Albany, NY) The New York State Senate Democratic Majority today passed legislation (S.1719-C) establishing the crime of unlawful dissemination or publication of an intimate image and creates a private right of action for such crime. The legislation sponsored by Senator Monica Martinez makes New York the 42nd state to criminalize the dissemination of an intimate image with the intent to cause harm to another individual. “It has never been easier to share private images and make them widely available without consent,” Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins said. “That is why the Senate Majority is taking action, together with our Assembly Majority colleagues, to help combat so-called ‘revenge porn.’ I applaud Senator Martinez for introducing this legislation to protect individuals from this heinous violation of privacy.” Bill Sponsor Senator Monica Martinez said, “I am proud to have worked with my colleagues in the State Legislature and with all stakeholders in order to come to an agreement that will work to protect victims of this particularly disturbing crime. We are sending a strong message that this kind of violation will no longer be tolerated in the State of New York. I want to extend my gratitude to the individuals who have come forward to share their powerful stories and to the advocacy groups who have given the victims a voice.” The “Revenge Porn” bill passed by the Senate Majority establishes: • The criminal act of unlawful dissemination or publication of an intimate image when done with the intent to cause harm to the emotional, financial, or physical welfare of another person when the image was taken with a reasonable expectation that the image would remain private.

As a Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney, he prosecuted major crimes and drug traffickers. He has taken that background to Albany and as an Assemblyman, he’s fought to keep our communities safe, hold officials accountable and enhance the quality of life that makes Suffolk County special. Since his election to the Assembly in 2013, Anthony has shown the drive and vision families on Long Island need and deserve in state government. His very first piece of legislation was a massive tax-cut bill that would save the average Suffolk County resident over $2,500 annually. That same year he accomplished a rare feat for a freshman GOP Assemblyman by sponsoring and passing a law that helped first-time homebuyers and younger residents save thousands and made the dream of homeownership on Long Island more affordable.
