For the last two years, Israeli & Palestinian communities have lived in fear and uncertainty as hostages remain captive and the conflict continues to claim lives. We remember the victims, stand with families, and reaffirm our unwavering condemnation of terrorism in all its forms.

New York City is a beautiful mosaic of cultures — that’s what makes us one of the greatest cities in the world. As one of 51 in the most diverse Council in the city’s history, I am proud to serve a community with a vibrant Latinx history and be the first Dominican woman to do so.

I want to re-iterate “Free press is a cornerstone of democracy — we must invest in the people who write the stories that make NYC.” American journalists have courage investigate and freedom to report truths that keep our society informed via newspapers, radio & TV, and Internet sources.
