Via Chalkbeat New York:

My office found that NYC Public Schools did not communicate with families effectively in advance of Tropical Storm Ophelia.

In addition to 150 flooded schools, thousands of parents were confused about whether school would be open that day.

Something’s different about the Copenhagen City Hall parking lot. Can’t quite put my finger on what it is.

Excited to join NYC labor & elected leaders on a climate delegation to Denmark this week.

So many great examples of how we can rapidly accelerate the climate transition, build a more resilient city, create good green jobs, and power a more thriving & affordable future.

This week I met with James Sanders Jr., Khaleel M. Anderson (He/Him/His), and other colleagues to discuss how we can better support NYC’s minority banks and guarantee Black and brown New Yorkers better access to capital.

If we can do that, we can help close the City’s egregious racial wealth gap.

The New York City Council's Committee on Environmental Protection, Resiliency and Waterfronts is holding an oversight hearing on flooding infrastructure.

My latest investigation found that NYC was not prepared as we should have been for Tropical Storm Ophelia.

Today, I was thrilled to welcome the next generation of New Yorkers to the Municipal Building for #BringYourChildToWorkDay . From mini finance trainings to office tours, it's been a day of learning, laughter, and inspiration.
 
Here's to shaping future civic leaders!

More than 60% of NYC Water's catch basin cleaning trucks were out of service the day Tropical Storm Ophelia hit
 
Only 2.7% of New Yorkers were subscribed to get weather alerts on NYCEM - Notify NYC
 
Stronger emergency management is needed to prepare NYC for future extreme weather.

The Mayor’s $111.6 billion FY25 Executive Budget shows signs of a brighter fiscal future for New Yorkers— if we can achieve the strong management needed to deliver it.

My statement: comptroller.nyc.gov/newsroom/state…

Three of the largest North American banks have agreed to disclose their clean energy supply financing ratios.

It is disappointing to see Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, and Morgan Stanley drag their feet at today's shareholder meeting.

🚨 ICYMI via The New York Times:

April is Sexual Assault Awareness & Prevention Month—a time to stand up for survivors and speak out against attitudes that normalize and perpetuate sexual misconduct.

A just and equitable City is one where all New Yorkers can live free from sexual and gender-based violence.

My office just won a $2.7 million settlement for contracted health care workers who were cheated out of their hard-earned wages. Since 2022, we've won New Yorkers over $8 million in back wages & civil penalties. I'll keep fighting to ensure NYC workers are paid what they are owed

Chag Pesach Sameach!

Hoping everyone gathering around the Seder table this Passover is able to unite with family and friends in health and safety.

May we all bring the strength of community and commitment to liberation from all forms of oppression into our homes this year.
