This is a great idea. But NOT at the expense of our green space and parks. I’m an essential worker and I completely disagree with the location!! We need all the green space this city has to offer. #pausethesaws

While this rendering looks nice, it doesn't show what's being bulldozed. You are in fact PAVING A PARK. The community does not want this.

Well said @FiDiResidents! #PauseTheSaws to allow community input regarding placement/planning. Honor essential workers without paving over greenspace and bulldozing massive old trees. And kids can’t play on a concrete monument w/ an eternal flame. @NYGovCuomo @BrianKavanaghNY

When one takes bad land and turns it into a beautiful memorial, then that is dedication. When vane politicians take perfectly tranquil lawn space and turn that into a memorial, that is purely wasteful insanity. #PauseTheSaws #SaveRockefellerPark

The "Circle of Heroes" monument in NYC will open this Labor Day, honoring the essential workers who carried us through this pandemic. It will be a permanent tribute to their heroism & service. These workers have *always* been essential & we are eternally grateful.

As an ER physician I agree with honoring all essential workers, but reconsider this plan. Open green space has been essential during the pandemic for NY’ers. I don’t want green space sacrificed in our honor. #PauseTheSaws

Thank you to everyone who prevented the demolition teams from starting to remove trees. These are healthy, beautiful, alive trees that are being removed for a concrete monument the community was never consulted about. It’s heartbreaking. #PauseTheSaws #SaveRockefellerPark

New York’s essential workers deserve our honor and respect—and we can commemorate them with a memorial. But bulldozing vital open space in lower Manhattan isn’t the way to do it. @NYGovCuomo needs to #PauseTheSaws and consult with the community on location and design.

Governor, everyone wants to honor our essential workers that kept us safe during this pandemic. This could be in hazard pay or in raised wages or in putting their safety first in our regulations. A tribute for their service is nice too, but it should be with community input.

Dear @NYGovCuomo: This is how much the people in NYC love their trees, grass, and open spaces in #RockefellerPark. Families spent the ENTIRE night sleeping in tents. #PauseTheSaws #SaveRockefellerPark #BatteryPark

Monument for essential workers is a great idea, but the location is very misguided. @NYGovCuomo, why bulldoze a beautiful lawn and cut down healthy trees to replace them with a concrete monument? Please, consider a different location. #PauseTheSaws #SaveRockefellerPark

Today we sent a letter to @NYGovCuomo urging him to halt construction on this monument until a proper community engagement process has been followed. Residents have real concerns about the placement and the expedited construction following the Governor’s Wednesday announcement.

Asian-Americans students are very dedicated to education! Specialized high schools are the only high schools in the state based on meritocracy. Why take away from deserving students who worked hard? Why not create more similar schools? bit.ly/3t2QXR6

Can we sue the council the next time one of their policies results in a murder? Won't have to wait long. #NYCcrime

NYC mayor candidates have every idea for solving crime but the one that works

New York City is in the middle of a crime wave.  Shootings across the five boroughs have soared by 20 percent through Feb. 14, 2021, compared with the first six weeks of 2020. Subway violence...

Another #AsianHateCrime. We can’t just look away! These are our neighbors. The targeting of families with children also seems new and is newly terrifying. Note they don’t even provide a physical description of the attacker. #NYCCrime 7ny.tv/3ujztjE
