Sure thing, to start off with: council district. One can enter their address here on this map to find their district: https://council.nyc.gov/map-widget/

On the map the results will show your councilperson and a direct link to your district's website (every district has one) that includes information on your councilperson and how to contact their office. All council emails are generally "District#@council.nyc.gov" (replace # with your number). This is the constituent email for residents of the districts to email questions, concerns, etc. and a member of the councilperson's team should get back to you.

A similar process can be followed for New York State Assemblymen and State Senator Districts. These are who represent you in the state government, not to be confused with federal level congresspersons and senators that go to DC.

Assembly: https://nyassembly.gov/mem/search/ Senators: https://www.nysenate.gov/find-my-senator

And finally! Your congressperson: https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative

Can my show Eyes on the Flag please be added? It's a workshop with Emerging Artists Theatre's SPARK fest. Audience talkback included.

March 12th, 7pm, tickets are $23.41 after fees (price goes up closer to and cash only at the door)

Logline- Former lovers go head to head in a dangerous game for justice after a tell-all book of their turbulent relationship is published.

It's a 50 minute thriller drama last seen at the NY winterfest in November and is being shopped around this summer to large stages for production. The Audience feedback would be very useful and important to my next steps.

You walk past homeless youth every day without even knowing it because they look just like you and I do. I volunteered at Ali Forney for seven years and I know what amazing, resilient and normal people the clients there were/are. Some need more mental health support than others but the vast majority just need a bed and some food and some time to plot their next steps in a city that is difficult to survive in without family support. Shame on you.

Ahem; as a Bostonian parachuting in I would like to say that in the context of what was being done, the Big Dig was well managed. They used the existing Elevated Artery as support struts to tunnel underneath, extended 90 under Fort Point to Logan, reconnected the North End to Boston, all while not shutting down any roads. They performed the equivalent of brain surgery on a patient while still awake. Is there certain things I’d like them to have done better? Yes (don’t source screws from a negligent contractor, actually build NSRL while your at it, built housing on the useless green space). But by and large, I think you can argue it was the most successfully run mega project in the US since LBJ.

This time, prosecutors said, Gzim Shabaj ripped a side mirror off the worker’s van and repeatedly hit the vehicle with the detached mirror, denting a hubcap and cracking the windshield. He also hit the laborer in the shoulder, and threatened to call immigration enforcement on him, cursing at him and telling him: “Hispanics, get out of the country.”

As a vocal critic of DA Bragg, I'm glad to see Bragg doing something.
