Council Member Chi Ossé combines politics with humor in his Instagram series 'Why Is Shit Not Working,' where he addresses local frustrations, notably New York's bus system. He channels the character Carrie Bradshaw from 'Sex and The City' to engage followers and elevate critical conversations around transportation issues, using catchy music to enhance his messages. Ossé, who represents the 36th District, sees social media as essential for connecting with constituents, utilizing a Gen-Z approach to educate and activate his audience.
"That's the goal of the series - to speak to people about what they deal with, the basic shit they go through... to entertain them, to educate them, to activate them."
"I'm literally 'mother' when it comes to politicians making content in New York right now..."
