YOUR VOTE — YOUR VOICE

Your vote is being courted and sought by politicians and aspiring public servants of all parties, the female vote especially the one over 50 is in high demand. Now, the question is how do we translate our vote into real policy action and change? What are the domestic issues that are of high importance in our diverse community? What are the international issues we need to address to balance our commitment to global equality and opportunities for all?   I exhort you to register to vote if you are not. To encourage others to do the same, we are living extraordinary times that require our voices to be lifted and to be heard. Even in the face of an unprecedented pandemic and the economic downturn it has ensued—we need to register and motivate each other to participate. Your vote counts. Your issues are not just yours, but the issues of your community. In the age of social distancing and remote access to everything from work to telehealth, your vote and voice are most important. It is time to mobilize and educate each other on the issues we face as a voting block as Women. More than ever, we have faced Covid and its socioeconomic impact of it. We need to organize and mobilize policy action on issues of caregiving childcare and domestic violence just to mention a few. There are educational, economic, and career issues we also need to address with legislators as we continue to face challenges in a post-pandemic world now facing war and inflation. We are not monolithic. However, we face challenges as Women that cut across racial and socioeconomic backgrounds. They need to be addressed now to deal with the direct impact it has on our lives and on future generations. The time is now. Register. Vote. Elect public servants that are ready and willing to deliver concrete policy action and results. Vote out of office those who are just paying lip service and taking us for granted. No Mas! Take a moment and list the top ten issues you think we face as Women and how the legislation will help us advance. Register. Educate. Mobilize. Onward and Upward.

OPEN LETTER TO ERIC ADAMS,NEW YORK  CITY MAYOR

OPEN LETTER TO ERIC ADAMS,NEW YORK CITY MAYOR The time has come for a new dawn in New York City. The tragic murders of Police Officer Jason Rivera (32nd Precinct beat officer) and community builder and the grave injuries police officer Wilbert Mora (32nd Precinct beat officer) sustained cannot be in vain. New York as well as other major cities are plagued with violence and weapons that robbed law abiding citizens and law enforcement of an opportunity to build a life of joy and prosperity. My deepest condolences to the NYPD, New York City and the families and loved ones for the loss of P.O. Rivera and P.O. Mora. My prayers and public service commitment are yours. I applaud and appreciate your crime fighting initiatives as well as your mental health and social welfare programs to reach out to most vulnerable citizens. I support your state of emergency as violence continues to take a hold of New York City. I call on you and NYC council to lead with concrete legal and social justice actions to address gun trafficking and illegal gun sales. As we grieve the loss of P.O. Rivera’s life, let us not forget his mission/vision to serve and build a bond between NYPD and all communities. Let us take a moment and reflect on what concrete steps we as regular citizens, lawyers, activists and elected officials can do and will do to stop the pandemic of violence and horror we are living. I also call on you to fund programs to work with families and individuals suffering from mental health challenges. New York has always led the way on social change and in providing all New Yorkers with an opportunity to restart a new life. Take this tragic opportunity to call for and secure legislation and funding to address mental health and other issues plaguing our society. You are a mayor of change and hope. You also are in a unique position to build trust and cement the great community partnership as the YPD has with communities all over the city. You are both a community member and a retired police officer. I met you as a young bright eyed young woman through a program sponsored by Columbia University in the 80’s. Your vision and motivation to young people transformed lives and encouraged generations of parents, students, public health practitioners and citizens to become civic leaders. Thank you for your motivation and for listening when I presented as part of a theater troupe. The time is now. You are on the right track and have the stewardship to make this systemic change. New York and the world are awaiting and support you. To New York City council members, I exhort you to enact and support legislation in support of Adams’ initiatives. Thank you for your service. May the beautiful soul and smile of P.O. Rivera give all of us fortitude and clarity to continue building bridges among NYPD, your administration and our diverse communities. May the humility P.O. Mora be known for allowing us to regroup and push forward sustainable criminal justice reforms to protect the lives of those who serve and our citizens. _________________________________________ Eric Adams is a former police officer, got elected mayor in November 2021. He promised NYC to be a law and order Mayor.
