Broome County Urban League

Today we pause to honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Thank you to our service men and women, fallen heroes and their families for everything.

Please be advised that currently the Urban league’s phones are down due to a spectrum outage. Per spectrum service should be restored by 1:30 this afternoon. Thank you so much for your patience.

Great day with our Littles and her afterschool program with the scouts. Thank you so much for a great afternoon.

We are outraged and deeply saddened by the brutal killing, by children, of an unhoused man in our community. This act of violence is not only tragic—it is a reflection of deeper systemic failures that continue to dehumanize and endanger our most vulnerable residents.

Being unhoused should never make someone a target. Every person deserves dignity, safety, and protection, regardless of their housing status. This tragedy underscores the urgent need for increased investment in homelessness prevention, mental health services, and community-based supports that protect lives and restore humanity.

At the same time, we must confront the growing need to engage and support our youth with meaningful opportunities, mentorship, and accountability. Violence is not created in isolation—it is shaped by the environments we allow to persist.

We cannot accept this as an isolated incident. It is a call to action. Our community must come together to demand change, invest in solutions, and ensure that no one is left vulnerable to such senseless violence again.

Wanted to share this free workshop! Great program. Please share.

Wishing everyone a Happy and Blessed Easter and Passover! May this season bring you joy, peace, and reflection, whether you're celebrating the resurrection of Christ or the liberation of the Israelites. May your time with loved ones be filled with warmth and good memories.

The Broome County Urban League is on Capitol Hill in Washington, with Urban League Affiliates from across the country, meeting with members of the United States Congress and the United States Senate to advocate for policies that advance equity and opportunity.

I was proud to be here with my fellow New York CEO’s. These meetings focused on key priorities including education, workforce development, affordable housing, and economic empowerment, ensuring the needs of Broome County residents are represented at the federal level.

Great organization!

Join us tomorrow to hear the State Of The State budget presentation.
