STATEN ISLAND, NY — Members of the Staten Island Interfaith community celebrated peace, solidarity and heritage at the first-ever Islamic Peace Academy.
State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, a Democrat who represents the North Shore and South Brooklyn, also shared her willingness to help the community with any issues they may face.
“I know what most people want for their own family, is what I want for mine, for you to feel safe where you live, and you want to be able to afford where you live,” she shared. “I just wanted to stop in and say hello and let you know that I am here. I look forward to getting together with all of you and getting to know you better.”
