For far too long, City government has stood idly by while New York homeowners fall victim to criminal deed theft schemes.
Those days are over. We’re creating the City’s first Office of Deed Theft Prevention.
If you think you or someone you know may be a victim of deed theft, visit nyc.gov/deedfraud for support now.
We joined @NYCMayor to announce the investment of $12 million from an opioid settlement to support substance-use recovery organizations, including @PhoenixHouseNY , in our district. This is proof we’re putting money where our mouth is. We’ll always continue to use the power of local government to reinvest in our communities.
A City Council office offering boxing classes for New Yorkers?? Well we’re hosting two boxing classes at Raymond Bush with support from @friendsofrbp , @bkartscouncil , and @miles_kicks ! Scan the QR code or click the link in our bio to register!
My office is honoring @byasleon with a Proclamation from the City of New York for Haitian Flag Day. Byas & Leon is a Haitian-owned vintage shop and community hub in Bed-Stuy. If you don’t know them, It’s time you know about them 🇭🇹
Check out their shop at 404 Tompkins Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11216
a time was had last Friday at @weeksvilleheritagecenter , celebrating senior women in our community of Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights for Mothers Day 💃🏾

It was incredible to bike along the Bergen and Dean Street Corridors with @NYCMayor and the @BergenBikeBus ! Our office has been deeply involved in the negotiations around the Atlantic Avenue Mixed-Use Plan with @CMCrystalHudson . The redesign of a bike boulevard for the corridors is a direct part of that plan coming to life!
NYC freelancers: How do you feel about letting the city chase down your deadbeat clients for you?
A new bill from Council Member @chiosse would create the Freelancers Payment Fund, through which freelancers could opt in (via a small fee) to be paid directly by the fund. The city would then be responsible for obtaining funds from your client — not you.
Head to the link in our bio to learn more — and contact your local city council member to voice your support for the Freelancers Payment Fund.
This Mother’s Day, we partnered with everyone’s favorite council member @cmchiosse and @agefriendlycentralbk to celebrate senior mothers in our Brooklyn community with flowers, music, and moments of care.
We had the honor of offering free portraits in front of a beautiful floral installation created by @crystalkevents - capturing mothers, friends, and community members feeling joyful, radiant, and seen.
Being able to pour love into others through photography, community, and connection was deeply healing. This is the heart of Sow It - creating space for people to feel visible, celebrated, and held.
Thank you to everyone who made this day so special 💐
