QUEENS, NY (02/18/2021) (readMedia)-- Queens, NY- Jimmy Van Bramer will host a virtual town hall on the future of small business and good jobs in the post-COVID economy for Queens. Van Bramer will be joined by Senator Jessica Ramos, Assembly Member Ron Kim and Former Amazon Employee and Activist Christian Smalls.

Small businesses have felt the brunt of COVID-19's economic impact: Roughly one-third of the 240,000 small businesses in New York City may never reopen, according to the Partnership for New York City. As Van Bramer wrote in an Op-Ed this week in the Queens Post, the pandemic exacerbated long-term trends for small businesses in New York City, and they must be the focus of our economic recovery in New York City. Van Bramer's vision prioritizes small businesses rather than big corporations who refuse to pay their fair share, neglect workers, and make money off their suffering.
