I’m excited to share the news of my forthcoming book, Dominican Political Rising in NYC: A Case Study of Urban Ethnic Political Incorporation. Those who know me understand that this is a project dear to my heart and born out of my community. This academic work, published by @Palgrave, will be available in both print and digital formats across multiple platforms. I am deeply grateful to everyone who contributed to making this project possible. I am also currently working on a Spanish edition, which I hope to publish by the fall. Here is the link with more details about the book: bit.ly/3OmvYIZ

A dignifying life is not a zero-sum game. Winning is meaningful when dominance is demonstrated while playing by the rules. Let's go, @nyknicks !!!!!

¡Esta mañana acompañamos al alcalde de Nueva York (@NYCMayor) a la ceremonia de inauguración de un edificio de viviendas asequibles en propiedad en la calle 116! Se trata de un edificio del Programa de Cooperativas de Vecindarios Asequibles (ANCP), el cual nos ayuda a transformar edificios propiedad de la ciudad en cooperativas gestionadas por sus propios residentes.

This morning we joined @NYCMayor for the ribbon-cutting at an affordable homeownership building on 116th St!
This is an Affordable Neighborhood Cooperative Program (ANCP) building, which helps us convert city-owned buildings to resident-controlled co-ops.

One of the more surprising ideas in Block by Block? HPD’s current office. 🏢
The plan proposes transforming the city-owned site near the Brooklyn Bridge into new housing, with more than 25% permanently affordable.

The housing plan is over 100 pages long, so I figured I’d start breaking it down chapter by chapter.
First up: Chapter 4 and the city’s strategy for building more housing. 🏗️🏘️

“This housing crisis will not abate unless we build significantly more housing of every type and in every neighborhood. More housing for seniors, for those of the lowest incomes — for people with special needs, unhoused people, and those looking to become first-time homeowners.”

"Under the leadership of @NYCMayor , and in partnership with other agencies across the city, we’ve laid out our plan across three documents. The SPEED report, the Executive Budget and our 10-year housing plan, Block by Block. Together these outline a housing agenda that is unprecedented in its ambition and scale; and they tell the story of how we will fund and execute a housing transformation over the next decade" @NYCHousing Commissioner Dina Levy testifying today at @NYCCouncil Budget Hearing.
