Council Member Nurse thanks COPA coalition and supporters

Nurse.

Permission to explain my vote?

Permission granted.

I vote yes on all.

I on all.

I just want to use my time to lift up a lot of the folks who've been working on COPA for over six years.

The New Economy Coalition, our Bronx, UHAB, Cooper Square CLT, South Bronx Unite, Mott Haven, Port Morris Community Land Stewards, Brooklyn Level Up, Fifth Avenue Committee, Community Service Society, We Stay, Nos Codamos, St.

Nick's Alliance, Los Sures, East New York Community Land Trust, Housing Conservation Coordinators, Chaya CDC, and so many more.

The coalition is known collectively as the New York City Community Land Initiative.

Sorry if I missed.

Edgemere, excuse me.

I also just want to thank the brilliant build drafting team, which they had their own saga with this.

Audrey, William, Austin, Brad, and there's probably a couple others.

And thank you to many people along the wall who...

Responded to all of my frantic texts all the time.

I really appreciate it.

And I also want to thank former Speaker Adrian Adams, who trusted me to get this over the finish line last time.

And thank you to Speaker Menon for trusting me this time.

I really, really appreciate it.

And I also just want to thank many of the folks at HPD who this year under this mayor really collaborated to make sure on the back end we were able to really stand up something that we could be.

really, really believe in.

And so thank you for everybody who supported this.

I vote aye.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Osei.
