Over the past few weeks, I’ve seen Yvette champion the economic recovery of Brooklyn by bringing together small businesses, families, and workers to discuss what Congress has done through the American Rescue Plan and what’s left to do. 

Not only has Yvette championed economic recovery here at home, BUT she’s also been active in drawing attention to digital redlining and other issues facing the diverse communities without access to the educational tools and broadband access to participate in the 21st-century economy. 

Healing after the COVID-19 crisis means coming back better than before -- we don’t want to get back to “normal” because normal was inequitable for far too many Americans. 

COVID showed us the precarity of restaurant and other essential workers as well as just how important they are to our communities. We also saw how access to digital tools can have lasting effects on our education and equity in our growing digital economy. 

Yvette is fighting for Brooklyn in Washington every day and fighting to make right the inequalities we’ve seen exacerbated by the COVID-19 crisis.
