There’s not a day that passes that I’m not reminded of this tragedy and I think about him everyday. The problem with gun violence has hit home. This needs to stop now! We need harsher penalties for gun possession, stricter gun control laws and background checks. We also need a ban on assault weapons, automatic weapons and ghost guns. We need to take guns out of the hands of criminals and replace them with an education and a job. I will work hard to find solutions to the growing problem of gun violence.
John Ruiz Miranda is a trail blazer for children’s fire safety education. 38 years ago, with little resources or support, John Ruiz Miranda created The Rappin Fireman and his fire-safety friends, a fire safety program that still thrives today. Since 1984 his educational programs have toured public schools throughout the entire NYC metropolitan area. As your NYS Assembly-member John Ruiz Miranda will advocate for public schools to expand their educational programs by way of the arts, by expanding after school tutoring programs and by expanding educational support for children with disabilities.
Seniors paved the way for us all. They set the ground work for with we all stand and rightfully so their needs are important. As your NYS Assembly-member I will advocate for the expansion of senior care such as senior safety initiatives, affordable senior housing, senior centers and improved access for seniors to local businesses and public transportation.
Sadly, we are at risk of losing the cultural identity of our community. East Harlem was built on the celebration of the food, music, art and culture of its people. As your Assembly- member I will work hard to sustain the cultural identity of East Harlem by supporting all business and cultural institutions that promote the access and expansion of our cultural identity.
Everyday most of us feel the stress of potential danger. But we can’t not allow the increase in crime go unchecked. As your NYS Assembly-member I will work with law enforcement agents with providing an increase of surveillance for high crime areas. I will also correspond with grassroots community leaders with providing tools that will empower us to fight back against crime.
As your NYS Assembly-member I will fight to keep our community affordable by advocating access to rent subsidies, working with developers and government to expand housing affordability, provide eviction prevention services and offer our community with easy stream line access to newly developed affordable housing. I will work hard to ensure that businesses that sell goods and services unique to the culture of our community have access to financial safety nets so they can remain in business.
