The Cross Bronx Expressway has polluted the Bronx for generations and treated our community as expendable.
That ends with us.

Bill Ritter is a New York institution. Over the years, I have had the honor of speaking with him many times and he has always brought integrity to everything he does.
I am praying for Bill and his family as they face this challenge. The Bronx is with you.

Inflation just hit 4.2%, the highest in three years. Gas is up 40% from last year. When asked about it, Trump said "I love the inflation." The Bronx is not feeling the love.

New York City is experiencing extreme heat. Seniors, children, people with disabilities, and those with underlying health conditions are especially vulnerable.
To find the cooling center nearest you, call 311 or visit nyc.gov/coolingcenters. Stay safe and stay cool.

Over the weekend I had the honor of presenting proclamations to the founders of HealHome and celebrating 17 young women who are making the Bronx proud.
HealHome is proof that when the Bronx invests in its young women, there's no limit to what they can achieve.

Kosovo is the single greatest American ally in the Western Balkans.
It is a grave mistake that the White House just nominated ambassadors to Serbia, Montenegro, and Bosnia and Herzegovina while leaving Kosovo's post vacant.

As a gay Afro-Latino kid from the Bronx, I never took Pride for granted.
Pride is a reminder that progress is possible, and worth fighting for. May we take this time to honor the trailblazers who came before us, and celebrate our community today.
Happy Pride Month!

Equality Caucus Co-Chair @RepRitchie:
ALT “As a child of the Bronx who grew up in public housing, I was petrified to come out of the closet in my youth. Now, as the first openly LGBTQ Afro-Latino Member of Congress, I feel the weight of history on my shoulders. I know firsthand the discrimination members of the LGBTQ community face and am determined to make a positive change for my community. This Pride, I am thinking about how we are both so close and yet so far to realizing the full vision of equality in America. It's crucial that we aggressively combat LGBTQ discrimination with federal action. Millions of Americans still live in fear of losing their jobs, homes, or livelihoods because of who they are and whom they love. Happy Pride. Let's never give up on the fight.” Rep. Ritchie Torres (NY-15), Co-Chair of the Congressional Equality Caucus

After months of stonewalling, the Trump Administration finally released $156.5 million in ADA funding for transit stations in the Bronx and Upper Manhattan.
I joined my colleagues in demanding this money be freed up, because nearly 830,000 New Yorkers with disabilities deserve to use their own subway system.
This is a win for the Bronx, and I won't stop fighting until every station is fully accessible.

Our fourth story in our series "Our Forgotten Borough" looks into the Ombudsperson Call Center, an important source of oversight for NYCHA, addressing mold and water leaks in every borough. Few people know it exists.

Today, I joined @NYCHA to celebrate the completion of a $3 million exterior lighting installation at Jackson Houses.
I'm proud to have secured the funding for these 132 new fixtures across walkways, common areas, and building entrances for the families who call Jackson Houses home.

None of this would have happened without Danny Barber. As TA President, he never stopped pushing for the improvements Jackson Houses families deserve. This is what it looks like when residents have a real advocate in their corner.

Home fires kill more people every year than all other major disasters combined, and a working smoke alarm cuts that risk in half.
@FDNY and @RedCrossNY are bringing FREE smoke alarm installs to the Bronx on June 13.
