Braata Productions Watch Braata Productions’s beautiful performance this morning on the City Hall steps!

In the 40th District and across our city Braata Productions does incredible work to celebrate and amplify Caribbean- American culture. By using arts and culture Braata Productions creates a sense of pride for our immigrant communities and beyond.🌎🎶

The arts aren’t just an extracurricular activity, they are essential to our health and well-being. That’s why New York City Council is pushing to reverse budget cuts for cultural organizations like Bronx Arts Ensemble and strengthen this critical sector.

Expanding Fair Fares eligibility to 200% of the federal poverty level will ensure the program reaches more working-class residents who can benefit from expanded access to public transit. Yesterday, Adrienne Adams spoke about what that expansion will mean for New Yorkers.

Landlord Ohebshalom left tenants to their luck, disregarding the deep state of disrepair and unsafe conditions of his buildings. The tenants at 705 & 709 W 170th are fighting for ownership of their buildings and dignified living conditions following Ohebshalom’s 60 days in Rikers

“Let’s celebrate good news when we get it, and this today is great news.” -Tony Marx @NYPL President There’s no better news than Sunday service at Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, NYPL! New Yorkers rely on our libraries and the Council is proud to restore $58.3M to bring our libraries back to full service.

Youth is where it's at! Watch this great video conceived and shot this summer by Lynn Schulman 舒曼琳's LYNNTERNS, part of our Summer Youth Employment Program cohorts.

Today we dedicated a bench in City Hall Park to celebrate the life of Carlos Cariño-Higgins. For 25 years, Carlos was a vital part of New York City Council, leading with kindness, dedication, and a deep love for NYC. His legacy of service lives on, and we are proud to carry it forward.
