We are looking for a dedicated mentor to support our South Bronx Community Connections youth as they navigate punishing systems and the challenges of life. We’re excited to bring on someone who can specifically connect with the boys in our program and strong facilitation skills.

What’s scarier than 👻🧙&💀? Mayor Adams’ dangerous move to change NYC's constitution to grab more power for himself & his interests - at the expense of everyday NYers.
Spooky, right? Don't be fooled by his misleading ballot language. Vote NO on Props 2-6. #Nix2through6

It’s been 5 yrs since the NYPD murdered #AllanFeliz. His family has fought tirelessly to get @NYCMayor & @NYPDPC to #FireJonathanRivera for killing him, but with Adams' corruption, they fear justice won’t be served. Come to Gracie Mansion on 10/17 to stand with the Feliz family!

This is it. We only have TWO DAYS to stop Missouri from executing #MarcellusWilliams, an innocent man.
Though @GovParsonMO's office is closed today, we can’t let a single moment go by where we’re not urging him to take action. Email, tweet, and contact his office now: bit.ly/3MT0OVh

Small things can have a big effect and we are all busy in NYC trying to tell them. Investing in one young person has echoing effects into the home, out into the community, and society as a whole. It’s the butterfly effect of community support. @cc4y instagram.com/reel/C9Kk-zZO6…
