Have you or a loved one been denied housing as a result of a drug conviction? 🚨 We want to hear from you!
It might be because of The Thurmond Amendment – an old policy preventing some formerly incarcerated people returning home from rebuilding their lives. Help us undo this backward legacy. do.dream.org/justice2025

It's been 61 years since the #MarchOnWashington. Surely progress has been made in the 6 decades since, but employment discrimination is far from extinct in the US.
Formerly incarcerated people still face huge obstacles to finding stable employment – and it hurts everyone.

This morning I met up with Senator Addabbo and the @ceoworks on their newest route down Rockaway Boulevard. The Senator and I fund CEO because of their dedication to our communities as they help people transition back into the work force.
To all other elected officials, if you’re thinking about funding CEO, make it happen. The community will be better for it.

If you read anything during #SecondChanceMonth, make it this story from Karina Melendez. Now an organizing program associate with @ceoworks, she recounts how reentry cash assistance supported her transition back into the community. wkkf.co/290f

How many of you out there know about the good work being done by the @ceoworks? My office provides funding to CEO so they can conduct regular clean-up operations throughout District 32, including along Beach 116th Street.
Every week, the men and women of CEO make their way up and down Beach 116th Street, picking up litter and cleaning the streets. Those folks were out there this morning, removing trash from the sidewalk and roadway. If you see them out there, be sure to say hello!

When New Yorkers leave prison they're facing an uphill battle to integrate back into society.
@CEOWorks says that giving them resources to start a new life will help prevent recidivism.
