Happy Italian Heritage Month, New York. Here’s continuing to fight for Vito Marcantonio’s vision of a government that works for all working people.

I am angry tonight. Because tonight ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car. ICE makes this city less safe. We want them out. Now.
Decades ago, New Yorkers were promised a park in Greenpoint. We're delivering on that promise.
It was an immense honor to attend FDNY’s Firemen’s Memorial service on Riverside Drive. We remember those who devoted their lives to protecting our city, the families who make enormous, unseen sacrifices, and every member of New York’s Bravest who do the extraordinary to every single day.
Hispanic New Yorkers give our city its flavor, sound, & style. Where else do you hear Mixtec & Quechua on the same train? Smell chaufa & champurrado on the same block? See a Dominican barber give a Venezuelan kid a fade, a life lesson, & a new accent in one visit? Last night, we celebrated it all.
New York City, wetin dey sup? It was a joy to commemorate 34 years of the Nigerian Day Parade alongside the many Nigerian New Yorkers who fill our city with life.
I was honored to visit Our Lady Salam, the first Arabic-speaking Lutheran parish on Staten Island. Its congregants hail from as close as Hylan Blvd to as far as Palestine, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Jordan, & Egypt — yet have planted roots in our city. Many carry the weight of war and genocide daily.
We’re moving 10,000 low-income children off the child care voucher waitlist — at absolutely no cost to their families. Eligible families with children ages 6 weeks to 13 years, and through age 19 for children with special needs, will be invited to apply for a voucher on a rolling basis.
One thing all New Yorkers can agree on? It’s time to get your flu shot! Go to nyc.gov/healthmap to find all the free locations.
Last week, I was invited into the homes of Jewish New Yorkers across the city to celebrate the holiday of Sukkot.
It's Fire Prevention Week in New York City. Learn more about fire safety at fdnysmart.org.
I split the G (train) with the Prime Minister of Ireland, Michéal Martin. Sláinte!
NYC is opening 160 car-free (but treat-filled) streets and plazas to enjoy fun and safe fall festivities this spooky season. Find one near you at nyc.gov/trickorstreets.
It was an honor to attend Friday prayers at Beit El Maqdis Islamic Center with Palestinian New Yorkers today. Like an olive tree, their roots run deep in our city, stretching back more than a century and growing through every generation that has made Bay Ridge home.
