“When more than a dozen Chinese community leader “When more than a dozen Chinese community leaders in Sunset Park gathered at a meeting at the end of July, they knew there was opposition in the community to their own strong support for the creation of Brooklyn’s first City Council district with a majority Asian population. They thought objections to the proposed 43rd District drafted by the city’s Districting Commission would come only from a couple of current Council members whose existing districts would be chopped up, making it harder for both to get reelected.” Read the rest of our “Brooklyn could get a majority Asian council district — and some Asian groups are objecting” article, which is linked in our bio.
“In 1979, the city Department of Correction crea “In 1979, the city Department of Correction created a special unit within the men’s jails on Rikers Island to house gay men and transgender women. The separate housing area — the first of its kind in the country — was initially a major success and touted as a revolutionary way to protect that vulnerable population.” Read the rest of our “City jails fail to protect or properly identify transgender people, task force finds,” which is linked in our bio.
“The owner of the Mets has spent hundreds of tho “The owner of the Mets has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars lobbying city officials in connection with his push to build a casino near Citi Field — but there could be multiple legal hurdles to bring the slots to Queens. Both state law and the team’s own lease agreement with the city stand in the way, in particular a financing deal tied to the parking spaces, and rules about building on park land.” Read the rest of our “Mets’ casino gamble could crap out in parking lot,” which is linked in our bio.
“The Brooklyn Family Justice Center (BFJC), part “The Brooklyn Family Justice Center (BFJC), part of the Mayor’s Office to End Domestic & Gender-Based Violence, has become the model of a successful resource center for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence. The center pioneered the “one-stop shopping” concept for survivor support when it began in 2005, placing lawyers, police, dedicated domestic violence prosecutors, counselors, clergy and other service providers under one roof. The BFJC was the first of 15 centers planned under the Federal Family Justice Center initiative, and the oldest FJC internationally.” Read the rest of our “Brooklyn Family Justice Center leads in resources for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence” article, which is linked in our bio.
