Dear Neighbor,

Thank you for joining us for another week in review!

Today is election day! Don't forget to cast your ballot and make your voice heard. The polls are open until 9PM. Today, the Bronx is voting for Councilmembers, members of the judiciary and for District Attorney. For information on who is on the ballot and where you can vote, click here.

Also, we hope you will volunteer with us for the Bronx Summer Clean Up Series 2023. Volunteers get free tickets to a Yankees game as a thank-you for their hard work! Cleaner streets and community engagement are important to us, and we’re proud to support this important annual cleanup series alongside partners. For information on how to get involved, click here.

Lastly, be sure to join us for an evening of celebration and community this Thursday, June 29th during The Bronx Fireworks Extravaganza at Orchard Beach from 5PM-9PM.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact our office at 718-590-3500 or email us at webmail@bronxbp.nyc.gov.

In partnership,

Bronx Borough President Vanessa L. Gibson
