I’ve been robbed, assaulted, and even spat on in New York City. I’m exhausted of feeling scared for my life and for my family’s life. Do something to make the city safe again.
Zamira supported: Make New York City Safe Again: End the Crisis of Rising Attacks NowI grew up in the Hudson valley and while I enjoyed fishing and swimming in the river I couldn't eat the fish and who knows what damage I did swimming in the unknown poisons the river contains. It would be nice if future generations didnt have to have it that way.Commercial fishermen could earn some wages if the river could be restored to health. Ordinary citizens probably do eat some migrating fish. It would be wonderful if all could enjoy eating fish from this resource.Its a beautiful area, it would be a real boon to tourism if it can be cleaned further and nearer restoration. Please don't give up on it. Please continue to work on solutions to make it healthy once again. Thank you for your continuing efforts.
Richard supported: Demand the EPA clean up toxic PCBs in the Hudson RiverPlease help Cash get home. This case should have been a slam dunk. The nightmare of having a trusted friend take your dog to train and dog sit, while you go on holiday. The sitters intentions are very clear in her messages, but it's your friend and why wouldn't you trust them. Well she wasn't a good friend, she is a scam artist and Cash needs to get home!
Lisa supported: DOGS ARE FAMILY, It’s time our laws catch up: Companion Animal Law ReformThis issue is important because it voices concerns about regulations and safety issues about public transportation and how we need to fix it.
Maisha supported: Make Changes to the Public transportation systemThe most vital part of the garment district is the ability for so many textile stores, theaters, designer studios, and garment makers to exist in such close proximity to each other. It is now the only place in the entire nation where this is the case, and should be highly prized for this now unique scenario. This sector employs so many people who are vital to the live performance and motion picture industries, and it will be completely hobbled if these business suddenly have to spread out over the boroughs to fight for survival.
Stephanie supported: Pin it. Post it. Sign it: Protect NYC’s Garment District and Its Makers in the MSMX PlanIt is paramount that we save this fundamental sector of NYC's business world. So many creatives depend on it ---from the garment workers, to the fashion designers, to the interior designers; anything (imagine, for example, not being able to go to Mood's store to feel, admire, buy the different and fabulous fabrics!/ Have the knowledgeable staff at this well known shop vanish? NO!) and anyone connected to NY's fashion and design world: ie writers, journalists who are the pulse of the latest fashion trends, the NYC schools that spawn such creatives, ie, FIT, the New School, and the museums that showcase NY fashion... everyone will be affected. Most of all us the consumers and admirers of anything beautiful, different, classic or forward thinking. In the US, NY is the capital of fashion, and it took sometime for American designers to reach heights above, beyond, and/or equal to the fashion houses of Paris or Milan. We cannot stop NYC's fashion ascent. Above all, we need to nurture the creators of the future who still need to learn from the hard worn skills of current and established NYC fashion houses and designers who depend on the garment district for everything. We need to preserve our fashion legacy. The garment district is an historic institution. It's part of our history (much of it immigrant history) and it should be honored as such. If I may add: NY millinery art is waning. We need to bring hats back into NY fashion! We need the garment district to stay so that innovation and sustainability within fashion continues to thrive in only one spot, and nowhere else! To deny NYC's artistry (and we have it in spades!) would be a colossal cultural and economic failure. Get rid of the garment district? And to replace it with what?....more millionaire rows? There are already many empty buildings throughout Manhattan that need to be used (and greedy landlords can write them off from their income taxes/this Real Estate law or loophole needs to be changed asap) so why even dare consider destroying further the garment district when money should be invested in it to help it flourish rather than get rid of it. Save the Garment Center campaign lead by several designers has done its best to keep that precious mile of history intact. Covid unfortunately caused a lot of damage but I believe if fashion schools with its faculty, students, and institutions such as the MET and Brooklyn fashion Depts, Council of Fashion Designers of America all unite with the general NYC public to convince the NYC mayor and Governor's office to transform the garment district (too depleted by overseas labor and production) into a living museum where history of fashion culture, and fashion businesses become historical NYC landmarks (certain 19th-century manufacturing buildings can be landmarked, right? Based on its important cultural and economic history, could the garment district not be proposed as a UNESCO protected area if so then this strip could then question the current zoning laws, redress them, and perhaps handle a few more issues plaguing this district at the current moment. If we have to fight this, we need to fight hard and big, and with political acumen in mind.
Cristina supported: Pin it. Post it. Sign it: Protect NYC’s Garment District and Its Makers in the MSMX PlanI'm at Morningside Heights Neighborhood resident myself and I grew up in that area all my life as well. I would like for this young lady in Kristina Lopez to get the support that she needs in order for her to continue to strive and fight for what she believes in and to continue to promote her own peace and respecting her boundaries. The landlord should be more sympathetic instead of acting too uncareless based on his behavior. I felt sorry for the loss of her grandmother and my condolences to her. Kristina's life deserves so much and I've seen many people especially young people tending to move out of their families' households to make their own personal choices for them to have space for themselves until they realize the fact that their parents or grandparents will not live longer. At Morningside Heights, at Harlem, Upper West Side, East Side, and ever other neighborhood sector within the borough of Manhattan, some people and their families are still facing eviction and the economic crisis that they're struggling to maintain things affordable. This is Kristina's household because she is dedicating to this in the memory of her grandmother and the spirit of her grandmother is still there.
German supported: Demand Fair Rights and Protections for Rent-Stabilized Tenant!Going through the same thing now. I didn’t event have time to process my grandmother’s death before they gave me a 10 day notice to leave the apartment I lived in my whole life.
Marie supported: Demand Fair Rights and Protections for Rent-Stabilized Tenant!Under the proposed law, large Co-Ops would be on the hook for not only acquiring the dumpsters but gaining approval from a separate city agency to install the dumpster on the street. It is also unclear how this would actually make the rat problem better. But what is clear is the unjust and prohibitive financial repercussions that buildings like ours would face if the law became a reality.
Artem supported: Safeguard the Affordability of Co-op and Condo Homeownership in New York CityThis is a ridiculous financial and spatial burden. It makes no sense for the wealthy owner of a single family townhouse/brownstone to get bins for free, but owners in coops and condos have to pay $55 per apartment per year.
Also, where are we supposed to keep these bins?? I live in an 18 unit walk up building on the UES. Most of the trash and all recycling bins are down the steps under the front steps. Our super hauls out bags of trash and recycling from there to the street (where he must now come back after 8 p.m. instead of at 4 p.m. to do so thanks to those Adams rat regulations). Is he now supposed to drag or lift a garbage pail up these steps to the street?
And we could barely find room down there for the newly required compost bin, which is getting buried by people's cardboard boxes waiting for the one recycling day of the week!
Whoever comes up with these ideas should walk the streets of the city to see how impractical their ideas are.
