In the face of NYC’s $5.4 billion budget gap, we can’t ask working and middle-class New Yorkers to foot the bill. Those who can afford it must invest in the shared success of this city. It’s time to #TaxTheRich & #EndTheDrainsubscriber.politicopro.com/a…
From every corner of New York, hundreds of people showed up in Albany to demand a fair tax system that works for everyday New Yorkers—not the ultra-wealthy. @nycDSA@ourtimefornyc

Earlier this year, we had an incredible moment celebrating the grand opening of God’s Love We Deliver’s new Liberty BKLYN distribution center in Sunset Park! 🥳 @godslovenyc
I was honored to be there, seeing firsthand how this state-of-the-art space will expand the organization’s ability to provide medically tailored meals to New Yorkers living with serious illness — growing meal production from millions to nearly seven million meals a year.
God’s Love has nourished our city with dignity, care, & compassion for 40 years, and this new facility means they can serve even more of our neighbors with love and health in mind. Grateful to the community leaders, volunteers, & everyone who’s helped make this vision a reality.
Happy Lunar New Year! 🧧🐎
As we welcome the Year of the Fire Horse, we celebrate courage, energy, & bold movement toward justice. May this year bring strength to our communities, resilience to working families, & renewed fire in our collective fight for dignity and opportunity.
Today I joined @MMitaynes for a small business canvass educating Sunset Park business owners about their rights in the event ICE enters their businesses.
It’s important to be informed. We’re here to let constituents know our offices are open to them.

In the richest country in the world, in the city with the most billionaires, no New Yorker should go hungry. Proud to rally for the Protect, Invest, & Expand Food Security Package. While the GOP makes life harder, we’re fighting to end hunger & protect NYers.

Repealing the 100-foot rule will save money, cut pollution, & move NY towards clean energy. I urge @GovKathyHochul to end the 100-foot rule, saving NYers almost $600 M/year.

As e-commerce warehouses proliferate, we're giving regulators the tools they need to keep communities safe. Just as we enacted the nation leading CLCPA, my Clean Deliveries Act with @marcelaforny will keep major polluters like Amazon in check
