The community leaders shared the importance of taking care of each other and being responsible neighbors in order to beat the coronavirus. A key component to combating the pandemic and restoring a sense of normalcy throughout our communities comes down to making sure as many people as possible are vaccinated.

The group encouraged people to talk to their doctors, ask questions, be aware of when they become eligible and make a personal decision to protect themselves and others. As Deputy Mayor Owens, Coach Griffin and Pastor Draper shared their personal stories battling COVID-19, ultimately prevailing, the sentiment among the speakers was clear: each day people remain at risk of being infected is one day too many considering the lives forever changed and even lost because of this deadly pandemic.

FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY Mayor Walsh visited members FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY Mayor Walsh visited members of the Myanmar Immigrant Communities of Syracuse, NY and Surrounding Areas at Clinton Square during a protest today to support 🇲🇲 democracy. The Myanmar Military Coup subverting the will of the people after the November 2020 general election has led to protests around the 🌎. As a city with a truly diverse population, #Syracuse is home to Burmese Americans who, with allies, are standing up against the actions of military dictators. They are using their voices to demand the release of elected leaders and the safety of Myanmar citizens.
In support of more federal funding for the Low Inc In support of more federal funding for the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), Mayor Walsh joined Senator @kirstengillibrand and Walt Dixie at @jubileehomes119 to advocate for an additional $10 million in the next coronavirus relief package. For residents struggling to make ends meet who are also spending more time at home in cold places like #Syracuse due to the pandemic, the need for added aid is essential. “Our vulnerable older adults must be able to keep the heat on in the winter. And our hard-working neighbors trying to get back on their feet need solid ground to stand on. LIHEAP is a critical block in that foundation,” Mayor Walsh stated.
