Truly honored to be with our @GovKathyHochul today as we celebrate the state’s $1 billion investment into the revitalization and modernization of @sunydownstate. Grateful to be appointed by her to represent our community on the DCAB.

Black Christians have a historic opportunity to lead in this moment and to save America from destroying itself.
But we have to decide whether we’re just happy to have proximity to power or will we lead Democrats toward common sense solutions and away from cultural extremism?
A musical giant and cultural ambassador for the Caribbean has departed, the Calypso King of the World, Slinger Francisco, aka, the Mighty Sparrow.
Here he is performing his classic “Education A Must” at the church I grew up in, Hanson Place.

Honored to lead the @67ClergyCouncil, aka, “The GodSquad”, for the 2nd year in a row, we made it out of our 5-day deployment without a single shot fired in the @NYPD67Pct for our “Safe J’Ouvert/Labor Day Weekend”.

Every young New Yorker deserves a summer filled with opportunity, fun, and community — not violence.
Today, I visited the 67th Precinct Clergy Council, where I saw firsthand what real public safety looks like. Through Project ECHO, young leaders are resolving conflict with care, and creating stronger communities in the process.
This is the work of our Office of Community Safety: preventing violence before it happens by investing in young people and supporting the communities affected by it.
Great having our @NYCMayor with us at @ReflectionsBK_, as he took the time out his busy schedule to visit the @67ClergyCouncil, The GodSquad’s SYEP & AGVEP programs, showcasing their anti-violence “Another Way” initiative.

Honored to stand with @GovKathyHochul as NYS made history by becoming the first state to pause new permits for large-scale data centers while thoughtful environmental and community standards are developed.

This weekend our community was rocked by the shooting death of one of our hometown legends, #KinuRochford, whose life was violently taken at the Kingdome basketball tournament in Harlem. Family & friends gathered Wingate Park where he will be forever remembered.

Barack: You told me all those years ago that you couldn’t promise me the world, but you could promise me an interesting life. Of course, you outdid yourself and managed to give me both.
Eight years in the crucible, and not once did you melt from the heat. Not once did you let it harden you. Instead, you used it to reveal your truest essence: your stubborn optimism and unflinching courage, your dazzling brilliance and unpretentious decency, your ferocious work ethic and absolutely unshakable moral fiber.
LADIES & GENTLEMEN! We may have just witness one of, if not, the greatest renditions of our National Anthem. Just when you thought @AveryWilson could not outdo his performances in MSG, he stuns us with a vocal performance only rivaled by the Whitney. PHENOMENAL!
