ITHACA, NY (607NewsNow) – A former Ithaca city official is receiving recognition.
On March 18, Phoebe Brown was honored as State Senator Lea Webb’s nominee at the Legislative Women’s Caucus Women’s History Month Celebration in Albany.
Twice elected to serve on Ithaca’s Common Council, Brown is the Central New York Coordinator of the nonprofit group the Alliance of Families for Justice.
“When I think of unstoppable, I think of Ms. Phoebe Brown,” said Webb. “As an alderperson on the Ithaca Common Council, coordinator for the Alliance of Families for Justice, and a lifelong advocate from Harlem to Ithaca, Ms. Phoebe has never stopped fighting for people who are too often unheard. Her leadership is rooted in service and love for her community. She not only shows up but creates opportunities for others.”
Brown and others received certificates of appreciation honoring dedication and community service from Assemblymember Chantel Jackson, the Chair of the Legislative Women’s Caucus.
“I’ve been a lifelong champion of policies focused on equity and public safety reform,” said Brown. “Being named Senator Webb’s honoree for this year is a testament to my advocacy and the steadfast commitment to serving my community.”
