The MTA’s decision to allow alcohol advertising is a major challenge to the health of New Yorkers, the NYC Health Department’s goal of reducing the prevalence of chronic diseases, and our commitment to health equity.
Advertisements for tobacco, e-cigarettes, alcohol, and high sugar foods are pervasive in neighborhoods with higher rates of chronic diseases. Noncommunicable chronic diseases are among the primary causes of illness and death in New York City.

Thanks to @DavidSandman1 of @NYHFoundation for calling out the @MTA for its decision to undercut public health for chump change. davidsandman.medium.com/not-…

New Yorkers deserve to know what they're eating. Yesterday, we passed the Food Safety & Chemical Disclosure Act, which would strengthen transparency in our food system.
I thank @AMKelles for her expertise and leadership and my colleagues in the Senate for their support.

This would not have been possible without the dedicated advocacy of organizations locally and nationally, but I specifically want to thank @CSPI, @EWG, and @IPHNetwork for their insight and tireless organizing efforts.

Amid record-breaking temperatures, U.S. workers unite for #HeatWeek—a clarion call for every employer and elected official to prioritize workplace heat safety.
"We have to keep struggling until the right to water, shade and rest is given to all workers."

Thanks to our friends at @kcsnewyork for calling attention to the harmful effects of excessive added sugar consumption, and to their support of the NYS Sweet Truth legislation to give NYers information to help themselves and their families! byeon.com/sarah-kim-column/
