🎥 This #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth listen to someone who's lived it, like @LIUNA @MasonTenders Instructor Jamal Fowler, who knows:
"My #Union was pivotal in my recovery.
"We're trying to change the narrative where it's not weak to speak. Right? It's important that we do that."

On the question of whether the housing plan mandates union construction labor, @NYCMayor pointed to the Construction Justice Act (which set minimum wages & benefits for certain city-financed projects), & that the city will look for project labor agreement opportunities.

Today we announced the most ambitious housing plan in our City's modern history: Block by Block.
We're building 200,000 new affordable homes. We're overhauling code enforcement. We're cracking down on bad landlords. We're creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs. We're building new paths to homeownership. We're investing $5.6 billion in NYCHA — the largest City capital investment in recent history.

All hands on deck. All-of-the-above. All for New York City.
