Rita C. Joseph
@CMRitaJoseph
Chair, @nyccouncil Committee on Education. Proudly representing District 40: Flatbush, Kensington, Ditmas Park, PLG, & Crown Heights. DMs are open!
Thank you for joining us @NYCComptroller .
With the freezing of federal education funding & the @usedgov on the brink of being dismantled, @realDonaldTrump is out to destroy public education. I'm proud to stand alongside @CMRitaJoseph in the fight to ensure the next generation has access to free, public education.
The Charter Commission’s Final Report significantly weakens the City Council’s role in land use decisions. This shift toward executive control undermines democratic oversight and meaningful public engagement. I stand with my colleagues who are fighting back. Our statement below:
Proud to be here with our New York City school communities along with @NYCComptroller , @nycpa , @SenatorBrisport as we send a clear message to Trump and MAGA extremists: keep your hands off public education. 📢
Malcolm-Jamal Warner was a gifted actor, director, and artist whose work left a lasting impact on television and culture. My thoughts are with his loved ones as they mourn his passing. May his memory continue to inspire.
See you tomorrow 10am sharp!📢
On Tuesday, join me as we send a powerful message to President Trump: keep your hands off our public schools. I’ll be joined by parents, advocates, elected officials, & more as we unite to defend every child’s right to a quality education. 📚📢

I was proud to support @CMCarlinaRivera’s legislation because grieving families deserve truth, and our city deserves a corrections system rooted in integrity and oversight.
Yesterday, @NYCCouncil passed a bill requiring @CorrectionNYC to notify family and the public within 24 hours when someone dies in custody. This is an important step towards ending secrecy, advancing transparency, and restoring dignity. queenseagle.com/all/2025/7/15/…
Yesterday I had a chance to chat with @AnnikaPergament on NY1 to discuss the recent ACS fatality report, my recent legislation passed to support foster youth and more. ⤵️ ny1.com/nyc/all-boroug…
