BEDFORD-STUYVESANT — GOV. KATHY HOCHUL, NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch, Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, Attorney General Letitia James and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams will speak the morning of June 5 at Antioch Baptist Church, 828 Greene Ave. The event will be hosted by the African American Clergy and Elected Officials, a Brooklyn-based civic and political organization.
According to Dr. Divinah “Dee” Bailey, AACEO’s chief of operations, the morning will be “an informational session addressing various community issues.” There is also a memorial tribute scheduled to honor AACEO member Marilyn Mosley, mother of Walter T. Mosley, New York secretary of state. Mosley served in the New York State Assembly from 2013 to 2020, representing parts of central Brooklyn, including Fort Greene, Clinton Hill, Prospect Heights, Crown Heights and Bedford-Stuyvesant.
The AACEO’s goal is to bring together religious leaders, elected officials and community leaders to advocate on community issues such as housing, public safety and education. The organization plays a role in local politics and endorsements; organizes events, forums and outreach efforts, and serves as a bridge between government and neighborhoods.
