Happy to join the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce and community members for the grand opening of Krave It Bushwick! Located at 11 Bogart St., this pizzeria brings creative flavors to the neighborhood. Congratulations to the team! Stop by and support a local business.

💜 I had the opportunity to share my story as a domestic violence survivor with Woodhull Hospital staff. Thank you NYC Health + Hospitals/Woodhull for making this event possible and to North Brooklyn Coalition Against Family Violence for sharing resources available to survivors.

What should have been a joyful Halloween celebration for our children ended in tragedy. Thankfully, all victims are in stable condition and the individual responsible was apprehended. As we celebrate this weekend, please be responsible. Don’t drink and drive. There is no excuse.

I’m outraged that an ICE agent shot a New Yorker with his five-year-old son in the backseat. I demand an independent investigation and the release of all body-camera footage. New Yorkers deserve safety and accountability. ICE must be abolished.

Proud to attend the street co-naming of LeBron Brothers Way in Williamsburg. Their salsa and boogaloo music lives on. Thank you, Council Member Jennifer Gutiérrez, for making this recognition possible.

Brooklyn’s own, with Bushwick and Puerto Rico cheering him on! Proud to join local elected officials to celebrate Alvarado Way on Knickerbocker Ave. Jose, we’re so proud of you! Thank you, Council Member Sandy Nurse. Go Brooklyn, go Puerto Rico, and let’s go Knicks!

To our Jewish neighbors observing Yom Kippur, I wish you and your families a meaningful day of reflection, prayer and peace. G’mar Chatima Tova.

Earlier this week, I joined Sane Energy Project, Earthjustice, elected officials, and advocates in Greenpoint to raise concerns about National Grid’s proposed “rate freeze” and fossil fuel spending. New Yorkers deserve transparency and affordable, cleaner energy.

This Saturday, we hosted our Pawtastic Pet Summit! Thank you to Aunt Hilda for trusting us with your vision, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, our participating organizations and small businesses, and our 53rd Assembly District community for making it a success!

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month! Today begins a month of celebrating our Hispanic heritage, culture and traditions. I’m proud of my Hispanic roots and proud to celebrate our history and the generations who continue carrying our traditions forward.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the first responders, survivors, and families forever changed by that day. Twenty-five years later, New York remembers. We will never forget.
