Politicians & Residents Show Support for Muslims in Bay Ridge After New Zealand Shooting
Thank you to Assemblywoman Mathylde Frontus and Senator Andrew Gounardes for standing at the mosque on Friday night. After the shooting in New Zealand, Muslims are worried about being able to worship.
While you may think this is normal and politicians always do this, we have not seen state politicians support the Muslim community well since we have lived in Bay Ridge (almost 10 years).
Councilman Brannan’s voice has been consistent from before he took office. I love that he went to the mosque on Friday afternoon to let residents know that they have his support!
Brannan is always one of the first voices heard in our community and his message is loud and clear. Brannan doesn’t waver.
The Bay Ridge Community was filled with messages of support:
Such a kind person and sweet gesture.
If your presence isn’t here with our community, it’s noted (it was overlooked in the past). Why? Because there are people who want to do this job and support everyone in the community. And there are enough people watching now to say that this is not okay.
Nicole Malliotakis is remiss in mentioning the New Zealand shooting on social media as well.
If something so atrocious happened in Greece, Malliotakis would have!
Nicole Malliotakis is actively posting on both Twitter and Facebook for her fundraiser for the 2020 election.
Hugs,
