My New York City Council colleagues and I with leaders from 40 different NYC non-profits last night. #1 thing we heard: 'the city doesn't pay us on time.' Some of these orgs doing crucial work are owed MILLIONS. It's indefensible and it must be fixed once and for all.

As Executive Director of Harlem Dowling & Chair of NYC Health + Hospitals Harlem Community Advisory Board, Karen Dixon is an invaluable member of our NY-13 family.

Thank you for helping children and families become healthy and empowered members of our community.
