24-Hour Home Care Aides Get New Support in Fight for 24-Hour Wages A judge recently handed 24-hour home care aides a victory, and a City Council member is reviving his push to ban 24-hour shifts altogether. But the workers’ struggles are far from over.

Six years ago WHO declared COVID-19 a pandemic. Despite tens of millions of deaths, the world has not sufficiently addressed the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, and we are more vulnerable to future pandemics due to anti-science officials leading government agencies around the world.

Screenshot of the top portion (through the first body paragraph) of a press release by the New York City Campaign Finance Board (CFB) issued today (March 11, 2026). At the very top is organizational letterhead, with the CFB's logo placed in the upper-left corner and its office address in the upper-right corner. Below the letterhead appears the following text: -- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 11, 2026 NYC Campaign Finance Board Contact: press@nyccfb.info [Headline:] Mayor Zohran Mamdani Appoints Mohammad Khan to New York City Campaign Finance Board [Dek:] Khan to serve five-year term on Board overseeing city's matching funds program, voter engagement initiative NYC Votes NEW YORK - The New York City Campaign Finance Board (CFB), the independent, nonpartisan city agency that administers the city's nationally recognized program to amplify small contributions and curb the influence of big money in local elections, welcomes new Board Member Mohammad Khan, who was appointed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani for a five-year term, effective immediately.

Screenshot of the 2nd through 5th body-paragraphs of a press release issued today (March 11, 2026) by the New York City Campaign Finance Board (CFB). The text of these 4 paragraphs is as follows: -- "At the CFB, our Board plays a critical role in making New York City's democracy more open and accessible - making it easier for candidates to run for office and win, holding campaigns accountable to strict rules and laws, increasing transparency, and safeguarding taxpayer dollars," said Paul S. Ryan, executive director of the CFB. "The Board and I look forward to collaborating with Mr. Khan to further serve the voters, candidates, and New Yorkers of all stripes, who deserve a government they can trust." The nonpartisan Board, consisting of five members who are each appointed to five-year terms, oversees the work of the agency. The Mayor and Speaker of the City Council each appoint two members, respectively, who may not be enrolled in the same political party. The Chairperson of the Board, currently Frederick Schaffer, is chosen by the Mayor after consultation with the Speaker. Born and raised in Queens, Khan is a veteran political professional with experience leading electoral and advocacy campaigns spanning city, state and federal government. Currently he serves as Political Director at MoveOn, a national public policy and advocacy group. Khan started his career as a financial institutions examiner with federal banking regulators, building a robust foundation of policy expertise and analysis, and has served as a campaign treasurer, campaign manager, and City Council chief of staff. "The CFB's agenda of making our local elections more open, inclusive, and accountable provides immeasurable benefits to New York City's democracy," said Khan. "It is an honor to serve as a Board Member of the CFB and support the advancement of this vital mission."

Our dear @nywfp.bsky.social comrade Mohammad Khan has been appointed to NYC's Campaign Finance Board!

The mayor may unilaterally appoint 2 people to the board, but they must be of different political parties.

Instead of doing the usual 1 Democrat and 1 Republican, Zohran's doing 1 Dem + 1 ✨WFP✨ 🔥

Tonight I’m reading this essay in @thesicktimes.org. So much stood out to me, including the following:

“If we are to move together as a community, we must commit to unlearning ableist tropes and intellectual supremacy and create antiableist spaces that celebrate all body-minds.”

ME/CFS folks, if you have spoons for this, I think moderating online groups, esp state-level groups, is a crucial intervention.

Last I was in the loop on this, many of MEAction’s state-level Facebook groups were closed for lack of moderators, and it has really hampered state-level advocacy IMO.

“It’s not hard for elected leaders to point their fingers at ICE and say, ‘This is unacceptable,’ and they’re right. But we're pointing our fingers at local leaders and saying, ‘What your responsibility is, is to make sure that the city and state are not enabling this further.” - IDP Exec Director

We voted YES to authorize a strike by a whopping 91.5%! Columbia won’t budge on protecting student workers from an authoritarian takeover and a cost-of-living crisis—it’s time to turn up the pressure.

Yes, agreed.

From @uaw.org to @1199seiu.org to the Amazon Labor Union, reform caucuses + slates have been essential to realizing intra-union democracy and transforming orgs from "service unions" into class-struggle unions. @labornotes.bsky.social's guide on reform caucuses is a great how-to resource.

Lindsey is going to make an incredible council member- she’s smart, tenacious, knows how to communicate, SHOWS UP, and really gets the kind of coalition politics we need to get things done in the city. We need more electeds like her at all levels of government.

A photo of Mayor Mamdani leaning forward like he’s listening is overlaid on a simple striped background. Large text above his head reads “keep your promise! Fund nyc public libraries at 0.5% of the city budget.” Smaller text at the top reads “NYCPLAN Public Library Action Network” At the bottom of the image is an oblong bubble with text inside that reads “visit nycplan.org for more information”

Love your library? Help us secure stable funding!

Take 30 seconds and send the Mayor a short note;

Tell him to honor his promise, and fund the NYC library systems at a minimum of 0.5% of the city’s expense budget.

When controlled by Republicans, Onondaga County's legislature approved a corporate-welfare aquarium project.

Now Dems control the leg, but the county's already spent $40M. What to do?

This is a great example of governing's complexities, and @mobreezy213.bsky.social is navigating them masterfully.
