Understanding risk vs worry. In NYC cars killed 253 people last year, according to analysis by @TransAlt. 203 people fatally shot in NYC during same period. Worried about guns in NYC? Cars were more likely to kill you in 2024. via @gothamist

No other biz sector wld put up with this. Late payments to community #nonprofits went from 88.5% in FY23 to 90.7% in FY24. Almost 40% of contracts are over a year late. Time for @HSActionNY City Hall Contracts Lag Got Worse, Audit Finds via @katie_honan

We can (and must) create a balanced approach to voluntary + involuntary intervention w/ patient rights. But this is NOT leading with the right ratio of investments: $154m for NYPD vs $10m for community MH. @GovKathyHochul @JoAnneSimonBK52 @SenatorBrouk

More to keep unpacking from these nuanced but important data points. Gotta be a way to give care and not criminalize addiction and MH issues. Involuntary commitments start far more often in NYC's homes than public spaces, data shows via @gothamist

Proud to have @Greenwich_House join @liveonny @ebottcher @CMCrystalHudson @CMAlexaAviles and more, in standing up to fully fund #olderadult services in NYC. Providing meals, basic health and enrichment for NYers who helped build this City is our duty AND it makes fiscal sense.
We will soon launch an #AgeStrongNY campaign to reverse decades of aging-related policy failures. As 2025 approaches, please support our efforts to ensure all who are aging in New York get vital services. Donate today and help New York AgeStrong.

Starting the day with a room of friends and partners in this fight for pay equity for frontline #humanservice workers. "City-created pay inequities magnify racial and gender pay disparities." In this case govt is driving the exploitation. W/ @HSC_NY @RobinhoodNYC @CenterNYC
