Opinions on Policy and Politics
Opinion: Reimagining Public Health for NYC Starts With Community Conversations ([link removed])
‘To gain a deeper understanding of how we can recover and rebuild, the Health Department recently launched a new series. The vision is to spark conversation by bringing together communities across the city, thought leaders, and partners in the fields of science, medicine, public health, racial justice, and social justice.’

Opinion: With Federal Support, NYC Can Become World-Leading Hub for Clean Energy ([link removed])
‘The Biden Administration is making $3 billion available to port facilities throughout the country that support the wind industry. New York City is a prime candidate to receive federal investment as we are already preparing a 72-acre site at the South Brooklyn Marine Terminal for such activity.’

Opinion: Child Abuse Prevention Services Have Proved Crucial During the COVID-19 Pandemic ([link removed])
‘Four out of five families who enroll in prevention programs complete them. And, once they complete services, these families are five times less likely to experience another report of abuse and/or neglect in the near term. Prevention services have also helped to safely reduce our utilization of foster care. Currently, there are less than 8,000 children in foster care, down from over twice that much a decade ago.’
