Desde entonces, más de 200,000 solicitantes de asilo han llegado a la ciudad de Nueva York. Dos años después, estos neoyorquinos siguen ayudando, pero sin suficientes recursos, apoyo o coordinación por parte de la Ciudad.

Wow. What a night last Thursday. And what a week. I wrote you last Sunday night from LaGuardia, waiting for my flight, which wound up being canceled amidst thunderstorms. So Assemblymember Latrice Walker (whom I ran into at the airport, along with her daughter) and I decided to rent a car and drive 12 hours to Chicago.

For all the horrors last week brought, it also had some small rays of hope to light the path forward. City council elections in Haifa and Tel Aviv last week were quite rightly overshadowed by the horror unfolding in Rafah, where over a million displaced Palestinians are facing starvation, bombing, and impending ground invasion. But those elections gave me a small ray of hope in bleak darkness — the kind I haven’t felt since the brief pause in the fighting over Thanksgiving.
