Elected officials, community members and advocates gathered in Mott Haven on Friday to demand action from the City’s next mayor to prioritize and fund a more robust vision for New York’s parks system that centers needs of the city’s hundreds of smaller, often severely under-resourced neighborhood green spaces.
Over 75 participants in Friday’s “Mott Haven Walk & Talk to Build a Strong Parks System,” organized and led by New Yorkers for Parks, toured local infrastructure from Graham Triangle to the Mitchel Houses, Pulaski Park, Harlem River Yard/Waterfront and María Sola Garden. At each stop they drove attention to open space policy priorities. Calls to action included:

After years of speculation, New York is finally ready to award three (3) new casino licenses. Eight (8) proposals remain, and the stakes couldn’t be higher. Each permit requires a $500 million fee, plus billions in investment. For the winners, the prize is a permanent place in one of the world’s most lucrative gambling markets.
Reports and analyses from Bonus Finder highlight just how competitive the process has become. It is not just about who can build the biggest resort. It is about politics, community support, and the ability to deliver jobs and revenue quickly. With so many moving parts, this decision is less about buildings and more about vision.
Let’s take a closer look at the candidates:

After a multi-year hiatus, Bronx Day in Albany is making its long-awaited return. The Bronx Chamber of Commerce and New York State Senator Nathalia Fernandez (D-Bronx) are proud to announce that the event will be held on Tuesday, March 10, 2026, at the Albany Capital Center. Designed as a powerful combination of public policy conference, business workshops, and cultural showcase, the event will convene Bronx entrepreneurs, nonprofits, cultural institutions, artists and artisans, restaurants and food & beverage vendors, state elected officials, and state agency leadership for a day of connection, advocacy, learning, and opportunity.
Bronx Day in Albany is a collaborative effort between the New York State Senate and Assembly Bronx delegations, the Bronx Chamber of Commerce, and the Bronx Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Bronx Borough President Vanessa Gibson and Bronx City Council Members are also expected to participate.
Sen. Nathalia Fernandez (D-Bronx), who spearheaded the event’s return, framed the day as a team effort across the borough’s delegation. “The Bronx is strongest when we move together,” Fernandez said. “This is a collaborative push with our Assembly and Senate colleagues and the Bronx Borough President to lift up the people and businesses that power our neighborhoods.”
The event will feature a full day of programming to showcase the Bronx enterprise and culture. The 2026 edition of the event arrives with a clear theme: “The Bronx: United in Culture, Driven by Business.” Organizers say the goal is to put Bronx stakeholders directly in front of state decision-makers to spark contracts, partnerships, and policy wins that travel back home.
