Dear Neighbor,

Thank you for joining us for another week in review. 

We are deeply saddened by the horrific events that transpired in Israel this past weekend that killed hundreds of residents and injured thousands more, including innocent children and families.

We condemn these acts of terror and all forms of extremism. We are working closely with the NYPD and our faith leaders to ensure our Jewish residents and families in our borough are safe. Our hearts also go out to the families impacted by this horrific tragedy and our Bronx residents with loved ones and friends currently in Israel. As a Borough, we pray for peace and stand in solidarity with Israel against these horrific attacks.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.

In partnership,

Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson

IN THE COMMUNITY

I joined with my colleagues in government, survivors and advocates to launch a 31 Days of Action Against Domestic Violence Campaign at Bronx Borough Hall. 

The campaign will consist of social media posts, events, trainings and highlighting the resources available to our survivors and their families. Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared their stories. Your work and courage do not go unnoticed, and we are so grateful for all that you do.

Join us this month as we bring visibility to this issue in our communities and work to find solutions to combating this public health crisis in our borough. Click here for more information.

I joined with my colleagues in government and the NYC Department of City Planning to host a Bronx Metro-North Station Area Study Community Engagement Info. Session to discuss four new Metro-North stations coming to the East Bronx.

We are committed to building the transit infrastructure that benefits Bronxites today and for generations to come.

Thank you to everyone who joined us!

I was proud to join with Bronx Fathers Taking Action for Dads Take Their Children to School Day!

As important as it is for us to call out the parents who are not doing right by their children it is equally as important for us to praise the parents who are working tirelessly each and every day to ensure their children are cared for and receive a quality education.

Thank you to Principal Luis Torres and Bronx Fathers Taking Action for their partnership on this event and for truly empowering and uplifting our fathers and their families in our borough.
