Today, Blondell Lighty, President of SCDC and community activist, announced the Club's endorsement of Bill de Blasio for mayor.
Ms. Lighty stated, "Bill de Blasio has been a strong supporter of the Flatbush community and indeed all of NYC. He has been a voice for the people in preventing hospital closures and a relentless advocate for the Community Safety Act, which was created as an official ban on racial profiling in order to end the abuse of stop and frisk."
"It is also an honor to work with Chirlane McCray, Mr. de Blasio's wife. She is an avid supporter of young working families and women's issues. Ms. McCray hails from Barbados, as did our Club's namesake, the Honorable Shirley Chisholm."
