District 10 Update: June 27, 2024

As we approach the end of Pride Month, we at the Board reflect on the significant legacy of the Stonewall riots, a pivotal event that unfolded on June 28, 1969, when police raided the Stonewall Inn, a vital gathering place for the LGBTQ+ community in New York City's Greenwich Village.

55 years later, the Westchester County Board of Legislators Family Task Force, co-chaired by Legislator Nancy Barr and Kathy Halas, Executive Director of the Child Care Council of Westchester, hosted a dynamic virtual panel discussion focused on hate crimes, incidents, and discrimination. This event underscores our ongoing commitment to driving positive change by empowering residents and legislators alike with the knowledge and tools needed to address these pressing issues, today.

Queridos amigos y vecinos,

A medida que nos acercamos al final del Mes del Orgullo, en la Junta reflexionamos sobre el significativo legado de los disturbios de Stonewall, un evento crucial que tuvo lugar el 28 de junio de 1969, cuando la policía realizó una redada en el Stonewall Inn, un lugar vital de reunión para la comunidad LGBTQ+ en el Greenwich Village de la ciudad de Nueva York.

55 años después, el Grupo de Trabajo Familiar de la Junta de Legisladores del Condado de Westchester, copresidido por la Legisladora Nancy Barr y Kathy Halas, Directora Ejecutiva del Consejo de Cuidado Infantil de Westchester, organizó un dinámico panel de discusión virtual centrado en crímenes de odio, incidentes y discriminación. Este evento subraya nuestro compromiso continuo de impulsar un cambio positivo empoderando tanto a residentes como legisladores con el conocimiento y las herramientas necesarias para abordar estos problemas urgentes hoy en día.

District 10 Update: September 13, 2024

Dear Friends and Neighbors,  This week, I attended the NYSAC conference, where my colleague Ben Boykin was installed as president. One session, "Conflict to Conversation: Must Disagreement Be Disagreeable?" left a lasting impression on me. The speaker made a powerful point: "There is no freedom of speech without a concurrent need to listen." As a country, we pride ourselves on free expression, but true progress begins when we listen. If no one is listening, our words lose value, and we go unheard and unresolved. Upon returning, I was deeply moved by the story of a front-line survivor from the October 7 tragedy, whose experience of trying to save others while fearing for her own life reminded me in some ways of the countless stories of heroism from 9/11. As I then commemorated 9/11 in Eastchester, New Rochelle, and at the Kensico Dam, I realized that our younge...

District 10 Update: August 29, 2024

Dear Friends and Neighbors,  This past weekend, I brought my youngest son back to SUNY Stony Brook University to begin his sophomore year. Like many parents, I felt the bittersweet mix of love and pride as he left the nest to venture into adulthood. This year, however, I found myself reflecting on the end of his last semester. While our son was fortunate enough not to be significantly impacted by the small but loud protests that took place at his school, some parents were not so lucky, as college students from District 10, Westchester County, and around the world were harassed, intimidated, or blocked from accessing their dorms, classrooms, and other school buildings due to disruptive actions by protestors. I deeply cherish our Constitutional First Amendment and the rights it provides for people to peacefully assemble and protest. However, it is crucial that protesters behave lawfully and not assault others (including verbal assault directed at an individual), vandalize ...

District 10 Update: September 5, 2024

Dear Friends and Neighbors,  While on vacation, I watched friends and family share photos and stories as they proudly and excitedly sent their children off to their first day of school, only to be stirred and heartbroken by the tragic and horrible school shooting in Winder, Georgia. I closely followed the news about the rescue of Qaid Farhan Alkadi , an Israeli Bedouin, which brought a glimmer of relief and hope for all of the remaining Hamas hostages in Gaza. But that hope was quickly shattered by the recovery of six Jewish Israeli hostages , including American citizen Hersh Goldberg-Polin, who served as an icon of hope in the darkness. The recent execution of these hostages by their Hamas captors is a stark reminder of the ongoing threat posed by terrorism -- not only to Israel, but to peace around the world, and even here at home. I'm grateful to our County Executive and other local officials for honoring Hersh by ordering their flags be flown at hal...
