CIty Council representative Carmen De La Rosa joins Led and Octavio on the Uptown Voices podcast for a wide ranging conversation.
In this episode we learn about her origins as a daughter of immigrants who grew up on Post Avenue in Inwood, the northern-most neighborhood of Manhattan Island. She also discusses the state of the Uptown community (District 10) and what needs to happen as the Executive Branch of the US government focuses its threats on our neighbors. You'll also hear about the impact of On Point, safe injection site (that was approved for operations at midnight, the last night of the De Blasio administration as power transitioned to Eric Adams) and the challenge of the addiction, mental health and housing crises which our neighborhood has been shouldering.
Councilwoman De La Rosa is proud of her work and praises her staff for its grit and determination to help members of the district she represents to navigate the myriad of issues they bring to her office. Her hope is that the responsiveness she show to her constituents will be her legacy.
