Bereavement

Good and Welfare is generally flowers or a fruit basket sent to members that are seriously ill or members who suffer the death of an immediate family member or a new birth in the members immediate family. As I stated generally, there are some exceptions that we decide on as they occur.

Per the Citywide Contract: Article 5, Section 5, Sub-Section 6:

Family member shall be defined as: spouse; natural, foster or step parent; child, brother or sister; father-in-law; mother-in-law; any relative residing in the household; and domestic partner, provided such domestic partner is registered pursuant to the terms set forth in the New York City Administrative Code Section 3-240 et seq.

When you send a request for Good and Welfare for a member you always have to include the member's name, agency and phone number. We need to know the where to send, the what to send and the who to send to.

Fund the Front Lines

This isn't about partisanship. It's about clean water, road repairs, safe schools, first responders and well-staffed hospitals. And the bottom line is this: we can't defeat the coronavirus and reopen the economy without strong, well-funded public services. We're shouting this message from the rooftops — and now over the airwaves.

Contact Congress and tell them to fund the front lines by texting FUND to 237-263.
