Domestic violence remains a hidden epidemic in many immigrant communities. Today, I joined colleagues, survivors, & advocates to celebrate $3 million in funding for organizations doing vital work providing culturally competent services to support victims of gender-based violence.
Trump-proofing our city requires investing in the services New Yorkers need. The Council secured $40.6M in new mental health investments and $25.9M for health care programs in the FY26 city budget to bolster health and social services targeted by the Trump administration.
Wishing everyone in #District23 and throughout the city a safe and happy Independence Day! 🎆🎇
