As I shared with @newyorker.com, “Hochul needs to understand that its her fight, too.” Its also our fight to make sure everyone pays their fair share and that New York has the resources it needs to fund the services our communities all rely on. Read more ⬇️:

Bye Kristi Noem, now abolish ICE.
The one and only @phara4assembly.bsky.social is looking for a new member of Congress to take on the oligarchy and the establishment, champion the labor movement, and fight the war machine.
I'm so proud to have her support.
It is unconscionable that CBP would abandon a nearly blind refugee in an unfamiliar area more than five miles from his home during a blizzard.
My heart goes out for Mr. Shah Alam's family and community.
As Black History Month comes to a close, we’re reminded that justice must include healing. Read More about the Treatment Court Expansion Act at City And State NY ⬇️

On Purim, we celebrate the victory of the people over a genocidal and punitive government. Let's get out our noisemakers and show we won't be silenced. Chag Purim Sameach to all who celebrate!
Phara Souffrant Forrest endorsement state assemblywoman
In an era full of weak and spineless leaders Lindsey is a shining example of what it means to stand up to bullies and fight the good fight. She is a proven fighter of corruption and injustice, wherever it manifests. With Lindsey in office I know I'll have a champion in the City Council to stand up to Trump, defend our communities from ICE, and build a better world." —Phara Souffrant Forrest
Honored to have the endorsement of @phara4assembly.bsky.social A union nurse, tenant organizer, & champion of the Fair Share Act.
Phara fights every day for working people. I’m proud to stand alongside her in the fight to tax the rich, build social housing, & deliver real affordability for NYers.
We know what comes next: chaos, slaughter, & a power vacuum.
It is clear that the administration does not care for human life. They are bombing families abroad while ignoring the struggle of Americans at home. Ask yourself, why is there always more money for death than life?
Hands off Iran! I urge my congressional colleagues to immediately call for a vote on @RoKhannaNews @RepThomasMassie war powers resolution to end this aggression. As a democratic socialist, I will always stand against American intervention.
I am disappointed in the extension of EO 56 by Gov. Kathy Hochul & NYP hospital leaders need to come to the table immediately to bargain in good faith. The real healthcare disaster is hospital CEOs putting profits over patients, not nurses taking protected labor action.
Happy Lunar New Year to all who celebrate!
As we welcome the Year of the Fire Horse, we continue to honor the rich cultural contributions and traditions of Asian communities across our district and beyond. 🐎
Ramadan Mubarak to all my friends and constituents who are observing!
May this month bring you peace, strength, and community. Wishing you love, reflection, and abundant blessings. 🌙
Really disheartening to see major providers capitulating to the right's war on gender-affirming care. NYU Langone has a duty to support its patients.
I stand with trans New Yorkers.

Wishing a blessed Ash Wednesday and Lenten season to all who celebrate! May this season of Lent fill your heart with peace, and reflection.
At this weekend’s EOP Alumni Reception, I was proud to be joined by Eric Eve, son of EOP founder Arthur O. Eve, as we honored EOP alumna Assemblymember @phara4assembly.bsky.social, @ecc.edu President Dr. Adiam Tsegai, and...

I welcome the court’s decision to block the termination of TPS for Haitians. 350,000 Haitian nationals can breathe a little easier today. Haitian Americans are vital to Brooklyn and communities nationwide.

Why NYC’s millionaires should pay their fair share to make up for Trump’s tax cuts and fund the city we all deserve

Black History Month has begun! This year is the 100th anniversary of "Negro History Week," the first celebration of Black history, which became what we now call Black History Month. I'm proud to represent a center of Black history in Brooklyn & I can't wait to celebrate!
This morning, I sent a letter with Sen. Gonzalez and colleagues urging Gov. Hochul to support our striking nurses and ensure hospitals continue to provide gender-affirming care during the strike.
Last year's arrest of Mahmoud Khalil was more than just a chilling act of political repression, it was an attack on all of our constitutional rights. Now, as the crackdown on pro-Palestinian free speech continues, Mahmoud is being threatened with rearrest. Mahmoud is free—and must remain free.
Mayor Mamdani joins a crowd of nurses on strike.
Mayor Mamdani waves to a crowd while wearing a red scarf.
A crowd of nurses raises their hands while on strike.
Nurses show up in our darkest moments. 9/11. The pandemic. Every illness and emergency. Their worth is not negotiable. Fair pay, safe conditions, dignity now. NYC stands with nurses and demands good faith bargaining for justice and care for all.
Sometimes the only way to move forward is not to move at all.
At just 15 years old, Claudette Colvin was arrested for sitting on a bus.
Let her memory shine as evidence that one can never be too young to pick up the mantle of justice.
Rest in Power Claudette.
Last night the US illegally attacked Venezuela and kidnapped President Maduro and his wife.
No one believes that this is about democracy. It’s about power and profit for the US war machine. We know what happens next because we’ve been here before.
No war with Venezuela.
First day of a new era for tenants! Mayor Mamdani announces that he’s objecting to the auction of 93 Pinnacle properties, and he’s appointing Cea Weaver to direct the Mayor’s Office of Tenant Protection. I don’t know anyone who will fight harder for tenants! Watch out Pinnacle and other slumlords!
Seems like just yesterday I took that first trip to Albany alongside an amazing slate of socialists. Five years later, I’m more excited than ever to get back. Can I count on your to be at my reelection kickoff this Monday in Crown Heights?

Wishing joy and light to all throughout our community who are celebrating the start of Hanukkah. Unfortunately, we also mourn the tragic shooting of Jewish Australians as they gathered to celebrate the Festival of Lights. My heart goes out to all the victims of this appalling act of violence.
Rep @velazquez.house.gov has been an inspiring leader in Congress and a fierce defender of immigrants, tenants, and workers. It’s been an honor to work with her in Clinton Hill; our district is better for her service!
Today I stood with Starbucks workers in my district to say: enough is enough. They are fighting for living wages and fair schedules while Starbucks’ new CEO Brian Niccols makes $98 million a year. I’ll be supporting these workers until they get the contract they deserve.
Today is only the beginning.
Our time has come, New York. Our time is now.
