In her State of the District Address, Council Member Crystal Hudson engaged the Crown Heights, Prospect Heights, Clinton Hill, and Fort Greene communities in a discussion that diverged from traditional formats. Addressing pressing topics such as affordable housing, youth violence, and public transportation, Hudson emphasized the struggles faced by vulnerable populations under the current presidential administration. She highlighted the connections between these issues and urged the community to remain resilient. The event integrated expert insights to foster a dialogue on potential solutions, showcasing the importance of community involvement in local governance.
"Right now, our nation's most vulnerable communities are under an unprecedented attack from a presidential administration that has prioritized the dismantling of long-standing institutions that care for our most vulnerable citizens."
"As we gather here today, none of us know what tomorrow will look like... and I'll be honest, things are looking grim, but we're New Yorkers and we've never let fear stop us before, and we won't start now."
"It's not rocket science when you consider that underfunded public education directly contributes to child inequity and hinders the future prospects of these communities."
"The urgent issues facing our district, such as affordable housing and youth violence, demand immediate attention and innovative solutions from local leaders and constituents alike."
