This morning, I was alarmed to hear of the news that a 6-year-old boy was shot in Yonkers, and disturbed to learn that it was the result of teenagers exchanging gunfire. First and foremost, we are sending love, strength, and healing to this young boy and his family.

My number one priority is the safety of our communities, and particularly the safety of our children, who should be able to live happily and in peace, free of violence. We are in touch with local authorities, who have taken the shooters into custody.

We will continue to work to break the cycles that have trapped too many of our youth on the wrong path — cycles that are the result of policy choices that have disinvested in Black and brown communities.
Join me in sending love and healing to our Yonkers community today.
