Two years ago, ten of my neighbors in Buffalo were slaughtered in a hateful, racist massacre. We just unveiled the designs of a permanent memorial to honor the victims. We carry their memory in our hearts forever as we continue to help the East Buffalo community heal.

In recent years @nysovs has been expanding its services to better serve all New Yorkers, from paying medical and dental bills; to funeral expenses, among other assistance. And with NYS having no limit on reimbursement, individuals can receive help for as long as they need.

The inside of a car can become dangerously hot in a matter of minutes. ☀️🌡️ Every year, children die after being left in hot cars. Even with the window cracked, a quick errand can have devastating consequences. Always #LookBeforeYouLock.

As part of our comprehensive public safety plan, we're supporting New York City with $30 million to help end the scourge of gun violence. We've made major progress, but there's still more work to do. I'm proud to stand with @NYCMayor in the fight to protect our communities.
