From Block to Ballot: Ramses Frias on Taking Back NYC & Reviving Small Businesses
In this episode, host Preet Kershaw, joined by Andrew Saviolis, sits down with Ramses Frias, candidate for District 25 City Council, to discuss the ongoing issues affecting Queens — from illegal vending and the decline of small businesses to crime, drugs, and how the community can take back control through civic participation.
We cover:
- Illegal street vending and its impact on local storefronts
- Why small businesses in Elmhurst & Jackson Heights are shutting down
- How city agencies have failed to enforce basic quality-of-life protections
- The role of city boards and how residents can influence decisions
- Education and real resources for first-time business owners
- Why local voting matters more than ever
If you live in Queens or care about the future of NYC neighborhoods, this is a must-listen conversation. Let’s hold our city accountable — together.
