Mayor-elect de Blasio Speaks at TWU Local 100 Union Hall in Brooklyn

TWU Local 100 donated our hall at 195 Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights to New York Communities for Change’s awards ceremony on December 3. Among those honored was Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio. In this short video shot at the union hall, he talks about the value of NYCC. In the beginning of the video, he speaks of the powerful contributions of organizer John Kest, who founded New York Communities for Change and also the Working Families Party, and the progressive movement's debt to him in New York.
