Tonight, NYC stood together to celebrate and remember Michelle Go. It's on all levels of government to work together to end tragedies like this. From fixing our broken mental health system to infrastructure improvements, New Yorkers demand and deserve a safe city.

It was incredibly meaningful to return to Cambodia with my mother! When I was just a young girl, my father, mother, brother and I fled the country to escape the genocide of minorities there, including ethnic Chinese like my family. When I was 7 years old, we found our way to NYC.

As we reflect on the atrocities of the Holocaust on #YomHaShoah , it’s sad to realize that anti-Semitic crimes in New York were up 24 percent last year. We must stand with the Jewish community and any other community in our city facing hate for who they are or what they believe.

Our libraries are facing budget cuts that would severely impact the critical services they provide, including cutting weekend hours and eliminating programs. Today on social media, share why you love your local library and that you support fully funding them. #nocutstolibraries

While it's unacceptable it took six months to make the repairs, I'm happy gas was finally restored at Bland Houses in time for residents to have a home-cooked meal for Thanksgiving. Thanks to my fellow elected officials for joining me last month to push NYCHA to finish the work.

Today is National Korean War Veterans Armistice Day, which honors the 5.7 million veterans of the Korean War, including this one saluting the Korean War Memorial in Kissena Park, where I hosted a Memorial Day Observance. The agreement ending the war was signed on July 27, 1953.

Guiying Ma was brutally attacked on November 16th while sweeping the sidewalk outside her home. She passed away from her injuries last week, leaving behind her beloved family. Today, our community gathered in front of @NYCHealthSystem Elmhurst Hospital for a vigil.

I joined Christina Hsu, Evelyn Yang and Dr. Ron Jacobs outside SkyView to announce the “Swab for Caryn” event on Sunday. Christina’s sister Caryn has a rare form of cancer and needs a blood stem cell transplant - you could be a match! Come get tested, it only takes a few minutes.

Open spaces don’t just keep us physically fit, they keep us mentally fit, as well. I joined @NYCSpeakerAdams and @NYCParks Queens Commissioner Jackie Langsam in Kissena Park yesterday to announce $6M in @NYCCouncil funding to complete two sections of the Eastern Queens Greenway.
