John, we're happy to share this exciting news with you today:

The House of Representatives approved more than $5.4 million for the ten Community Project Funding requests that Jamaal submitted for New York's 16th District, getting our district one step closer to receiving much-needed support to vitalize our communities.

This is a major step in Jamaal's mission to bring home the extensive resources of the federal government to uplift New York's 16th and doing so successfully; all ten projects that were submitted were approved. It's the perfect example of what it means to bring solutions that truly meet the scale and scope of our problems.

We're excited to share with you what some of these requests entailed, and how they'll serve our community below. But before we do that, would you be able to chip in and make a donation of $3 to our campaign to strengthen our progressive movement and keep Jamaal focused on legislating for our future?

Contribute $3

Items that were in Jamaal's Community Project Funding requests include:

• $500,000 to the Riverbay Fund — to improve green space access (and more!) in America's largest affordable housing development
• $800,000 to the HOPE Program — to promote positive social and economic outcomes for justice-impacted individuals through environmental resilience skillbuilding and workforce development
• $400,000 to NYC Health + Hospitals/Jacobi Medical Center — to fund the Stand Up to Violence program, which will reduce violence in the Bronx through mental health treatment
• And more

The best part? These priorities were decided by the residents of New York's 16th; Jamaal took the time to listen to constituents and worked to ensure that federal funding reflects the voices and priorities of New York's 16th at every step.

The funding requests now await approval in the Senate, and then will go to President Biden's desk for his signature. You can count on Jamaal to continue pushing for these funding requests to be approved, and to continue to fight for our communities and the progressive movement in Congress.

While Jamaal is in Congress fighting for us, we need to fight to keep our grassroots movement strong. Please chip in $3 or anything you are able to ensure our momentum continues to grow, and to keep Jamaal legislating.

Thank you for your support,

Bowman For Congress
