Dear Constituents:

May has been dubbed National Allergy and Asthma Awareness Month.  While New York City is 43rd on the list of most challenging places to live for individuals with allergies and 48th on the list of most challenging places to live for individuals with asthma, there are still steps we can take to alleviate the suffering of those with seasonal sensitivities and asthma.

Allergies involve more than just pollen, however.  Food allergies have become a constant part of our collective health concerns.   The U.S. Food Allergy Labeling Consumer Protection Act (FALCPA) now requires food labels to clearly identify all allergen ingredients (even if it's a spice or flavoring), and to discourage labels with ‘may contain' statements.

Dear Constituents:

April is National Child Abuse Awareness Month. It is a sober reminder, even as the springtime weather brings optimism and good cheer, that there are those helpless souls who are trapped in situations beyond comprehension: under the boot of physical, mental, verbal, or psychological abuse. While it is easy to turn away and say, “Well, it’s not my kid,” we must be our neighbors’ keepers and be aware of possible abuses to minors and those who cannot defend themselves. Whether by loved ones, trusted authority figures, or strangers, child abuse cannot be tolerated.
