Background: "New York City Council Member Charles Baron has been the voice of the powerless (non-connected) throughout New York City. He has taken many "hits" for his positions on issues that affect those who have not been able to bring these same issues to the forefront even after reaching out to their own Council Representatives. Because of his concern and intervention for all the powerless and disenfranchised residents of New York City Council, Member Barron has become the Peoples' Council Member who speaks “Truth to Power”
When it came to the surprise "Rezoning of 125th Street", Council Members Charles Barron and Tony Avella were the only Council Members who came out and listened to the Harlem Community at forums and one on one." (Charles Barron is running for Speaker of the New York City Council).
