Info | Carlina Rivera was born and raised on the Lower East Side of Manhattan. Growing up in Section 8 housing in Council District 2, she has an intimate understanding of the issues everyday New Yorkers face. Whether it’s living paycheck to paycheck, taking on the burden of student loans, or navigating government benefit during times of economic instability, Carlina has lived it. As a New York City Council Member since 2018, she’s proven herself to be both pragmatic and compassionate in her fight to find solutions to these very issues, no matter the challenges standing in the way.
Carlina graduated from Marist College with a B.A. in Journalism after attending local district schools her entire life. Beginning her career in afterschool programming at some of New York City’s highest-needs schools, she went on to serve her local community, creating and organizing initiatives for seniors and New Yorkers experiencing homelessness as Director of Programs and Services at Good Old Lower East Side (GOLES), a local non-profit focused on social justice.
Even before serving as an elected official, Carlina has a long history of bringing people together to improve New Yorkers’ lives, resources, and well-being — as a community board member, an organizer, and a key leader on the taskforce that secured funding for East River waterfront resiliency in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. After Sandy, Carlina helped coordinate thousands of volunteers to assist over 10,000 homebound residents as part of a recovery network that still supports families in the community today.
