With so many consequential actions taking place in Albany and Washington, now is the time for engaged citizens to speak out about the issues that matter to them and to their communities.
New York Senate District 17 for Progress (NYSD 17 for Progress) was launched in 2016 by residents of State Senate District 17 (Flatbush, Kensington, Midwood, Borough Park, Sunset Park, Sheepshead Bay, Bensonhurst) to address key issues in our neighborhoods and state, and to directly engage our Senate representative, Simcha Felder. We felt that too many matters, such as affordable health care, criminal justice reform, voting reforms, and street safety, were not getting enough attention from the Senator or his staffers.
Senator, we are not playing games. We are your constituents, and sincerely care about the issues we advocate for — issues we think will benefit everyone in Senate District 17. We are vocal and direct, and expect our State Senator to hear us out and to take clear, public positions on important matters, as well as listening to his constituents’ opinions, different as they may be. We will not stop fighting for our communities and our district.
In the coming months, constituents will be eager to hear from Sen. Felder and Mr. Morris on issues like housing, health care, and immigrant resources. These are the issues that keep us up at night and motivate us to action. These are the reasons why our organization exists.
