We would like to introduce you to the distinguished honoree of FAN4Kids Annual Benefit which is going to be here very soon on Tuesday, June 10 at Loft39 in Manhattan!
Meet Bronx District 18 City Council Member :
Amanda Farías, a proud Bronxite and second-generation Afro-Latina, was born and raised in Soundview. She is a product of local schools and community institutions, including P.S. 69X, Holy Cross School, and St. John’s University, where she earned both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Government and Politics. Farías serves as the Majority Leader of the New York City Council and represents the 18th District.
Elected to the City Council in 2021 and re-elected in 2023, Farías made history as the first Latina to be appointed Majority Leader. She also chairs the Committee on Economic Development, where she has passed significant legislation to support industrial development, provide discounted ferry fares, and promote equity in economic recovery. Farías is committed to addressing food insecurity and improving the quality of life for all New Yorkers, particularly in working-class communities. Council Member Farias has been instrumental in furthering the mission of FAN4Kids in her district and throughout the city by helping us secure city-wide Speaker Funding!
