“Cursed is the one who trusts in man” (Jeremiah 17:5) … “Let God be true, and every man a liar.” (Romans 3:4)

These biblical passages bring to mind the struggle that the New York Dominican community and their leaders have been engaged in for many years in their efforts to be effective in the political landscape of New York City in this great State of New York.

In this fight, the Puerto Rican leaders have been very helpful and have tried to do everything possible to open doors to help Dominicans.

THE NEW YORK HISPANIC CLERGY ORGANIZATION

TO DONATE VEHICLE TO DOMINICAN REPUBLIC

The New York Hispanic Clergy Organization chaired by Senator Rev. Rubén Díaz will be donating a vehicle to the Dominican Republic.

This vehicle with a capacity for 20 passengers and equipped with special services for disabled people and wheelchairs, will be sent to the Dominican Foundation for life "FundoVida" which is presided over by the Dominican TV Host, Juan Cruz Triffolio and his wife Eduviges Ureña.

Manhattan County Chair Assemblyman Keith Wright is dead wrong. (And so is Bronx County Chair Carl Heastie.)

By this time I'm pretty sure you already know about the desperate struggle we’re having to maintain the strength and future of Black and Hispanic communities in New York State.

You should know that the way the lines have been drawn to define our districts is detrimental to our communities. The proposed lines will dilute the power for our people that we have gained through hard work and strong leadership.

What a slap in the face to all Bronx residents – especially to all the Members of the Bronx Assembly Delegation!

Yes, my dear reader, you should know that the New York State Assembly and Senate leaders have submitted proposals for re-districting the Congressional district lines in the Bronx, carving the Bronx into five Congressional Districts, and neither of them is a pretty picture.
