We just held a press conference on subway accessibility here in South Brooklyn, because we kept hearing it at the doors, and I’ve seen it myself. Now we need you. Sign our petition to show the MTA this community stands together, and make your voice heard directly: go to mta.info/accessibility/select-stations and select which stations need accessibility upgrades. Link in bio. We’re in this together.

Some moments from Monday’s press conference calling for better transit accessibility in South Brooklyn.

Our community deserves better, especially our seniors, people with disabilities, and immigrant and working-class families who rely on public transit every day.

When we stand together and make our voices heard, we can fight for the investments and accessibility our neighborhoods deserve.

We deserve our fair share, and we won’t stop pushing for it.

🏵️ Honoring the women who hold our community together. Last week, we celebrated the Distinguished Woman Award, recognizing incredible women who give so much of themselves to our neighborhood. Thank you to everyone who joined us for this special moment, your dedication doesn’t go unnoticed.

🚇 Every day, I walk through train stations throughout our neighborhood, and every day I see the same thing. Elderly neighbors struggling on the stairs, parents wrestling strollers up and down with no other option. This isn’t a rare occurrence, it’s a daily reality for far too many in our community.

No one should face this kind of barrier just to get to work, see a doctor, or come home. Every resident deserves to move through our stations with dignity. That’s why I am coming together with other community leaders to speak up about this issue.

Join us on September 14th as we stand together for real accessibility in our neighborhood.

Cleaner parks don’t just happen, they take work. This week, we joined a community clean-up to give our local playground the attention it deserved 🌳, because our kids deserve safe, welcoming spaces to play. Small actions, big impact. Let’s keep our community clean together!

Stopped by Seth Low Park to show some love to the basketball courts and put up new nets! 🏀

It was great to see some familiar faces and spend time with people in the community. Sometimes it’s the little things that make a difference. We’ll keep showing up and doing what we can to make our community better every day.

Another issue addressed!

We listened to our community’s concerns and took action to get a broken fire hydrant fixed. When something needs attention, action needs to be taken.

We hear you. We take action. We get things done.

We did it! 🚦

We finally received a response from the NYC DOT regarding the traffic light at Bay 23rd Street and Cropsey Avenue.

Thank you to everyone who spoke up and helped bring attention to this issue. We’ll keep pushing for a safer community.

Your Safety is My Priority!

When residents raise concerns, action should follow. A dangerous sinkhole was brought to our attention and was addressed quickly through collaboration with city agencies, community leaders, and local residents. Keeping neighborhoods safe and responsive to residents’ needs is what public service is all about.

Our community deserves better than outdated trains on the Ⓓ and Ⓝ lines. We need newer, safer, and more reliable service, and when I’m elected to the State Senate, I’ll fight to replace older trains and deliver the improvements our neighborhoods deserve.

Creating programs that make a real difference. Local youth are earning money while helping clean and beautify our neighborhood. A cleaner community, valuable work experience, and opportunities for our young people — that’s a win for everyone.

📦 90,000 packages are stolen or lost across NYC every single day, and our older buildings without secure mailrooms are hit the hardest. The city already has a fix: LockerNYC, now expanding to 70 locations citywide. But most of SD-17, Bensonhurst, Bay Ridge, Dyker Heights, Bath Beach, Gravesend, still has none. I will be fighting to bring LockerNYC to our neighborhoods.

Dr. Larry He got water and restrooms back working for the Bensonhurst Park!

Think about the elderly persons you love. Now imagine they can’t get the help they’ve already earned.

That’s happening in South Brooklyn. Right now. To more than 25,000 of our elderly neighbors.

I’m running for State Senate because that’s not okay, and I’m not going to pretend it is.

More coming. Stay with us.

We promise to deliver. We just did! It’s official: NYC local law 75 is put on hold. Big shoutouts to Council Member Susan Zhuang and her colleagues for standing up for neighborhood businesses and small property owners.

🚧 A dangerous pothole was reported on West 4th Street. I visited the site myself and am working with NYC DOT to get it fixed. Thank you to the residents who brought this issue to my attention. Together, we’ll keep our community safe.

Right now, New York State law treats a one-person bodega and a 99-employee company as the exact same size business. Same rules, same fines, same everything. I would introduce a legislation to create a real microbusiness category, for businesses with 10 employees or fewer, with targeted grants and support. Our smallest businesses deserve rules that actually fit them!

Accessibility isn’t optional. Every New Yorker deserves a subway system that works for everyone — seniors, parents with strollers, and people with disabilities. We’ve waited long enough. It’s time for real accountability.🚇♿️
