- Honored to be joined by @SenSchumer this morning! A longtime friend of Met Council, he's never missed a #LegislativeBreakfast.
- "I, a number of weeks ago, called for 500 additional NYPD officers to be visible and assigned to the subways and I got beat up for that, frankly. People said 'no, no, no' And then the NYPD did just that a number of days later" - @AndrewYang
- "I'm a public school parent and I think that schools should've been open as early as possible and that would've been my stance as Mayor. And that's born of the data on a couple of levels. Number 1: remote learning is not as good as in-person learning...” - @AndrewYang
- "In my mind, you can't afford not to take over this system. Now it's true there's a multi-billion dollar operating deficit, but that shouldn't daunt us. We need to get our arms around the way that people get to work and school every day," @AndrewYang on control of subways
- It’s Day 1 and @NYCGreenfield is already hard at work! We’re meeting now to kick off #PovertyAwarenessMonth. Did you know that @MetCouncil distributes 7.4 million meals to needy New Yorkers each year?
- Congrats to our CEO @NYCGreenfield for ranking # 14 on @CityAndStateNY Power 100 list of Brooklyn leaders! We’re especially proud of David’s outstanding political advocacy resulting in $100 million+ to feed hungry New Yorkers during Covid.
- We’re grateful to so many public officials who joined us to honor the legacy of Dr. King through service by packing 2,000 emergency halal food boxes!💙 TY @NewYorkStateAG @NYSComptroller @RepJerryNadler @ManhattanDA @MarkLevineNYC @galeabrewer @ShaunAbreu @tonysimone @AlexBores
- Met Council is proud to recognize the grandchild of survivors, @MarkTreyger718 We’re tremendously grateful for your commitment to our work in supporting survivors and all seniors. There is so much good we can do together!
- Vegans deserve an awesome Thanksgiving too! Happy to help.Endless thanks to @nyclass @peta & @MetCouncil for their donations for our karma-free #Thanksgiving distribution today! In the greatest city in the world, no one should ever go hungry especially during the holidays.
- Start the week with a heartwarming @NY1 news report on how 5,000 kids of all backgrounds received free kosher lunch!
00:00 - Some New Yorkers are at the beach this weekend, others are wondering where their next meal is coming from. Watch this @NY1 clip to understand why we gave out 5,000 free kosher lunches this past week.
00:00 - Very few officials get to make historic change in their first 6 months. Congrats to @NYCSpeakerCoJo on funding #FairFares w. @NYCMayor for poorest New Yorkers. This will literally mean more food for our 225,000 clients. As the voice of the Jewish poor, we were proud supporters!
