He’s a student at Bronx Community College, and he’s working as a security guard at Trinity Church.
In other words: he’s a New Yorker. And we’re better off for it. Grateful to accompany him today. (2/2)
Meet Kalil. Today, he had a hearing in Immigration Court at 290 Broadway. Thanks to his excellent lawyers Ellie & Beth from The Door, and his guardian, he’s got a strong application for Special Immigrant Juvenile Status — and hopefully a pathway to a green card. 🤞🏼 (1/2)
At a moment when our democracy is facing a five-alarm fire, that experience and moral clarity matters now more than ever. (2/2)
I’m honored to have Ruth, Liz, Sal, and Steve standing with us in this fight. These are leaders with strong moral compasses and steel spines, who have spent their careers delivering for New Yorkers, and who know what it takes to do the same in Washington. (1/2)
It’s surprisingly good reading for a legal brief! bit.ly/4by1JaM
TL; dr: In a fight against fascism, we will not stand down. (2/2)
My lawyers just filed a first-rate legal memo in my 26 Federal Plaza arrest case. The purpose is to shine the brightest spotlight possible on the grossly inhumane treatment of migrants at the facility. So we’re demanding “evidence discovery” and asking for a jury trial. (1/2)
Wonderful to see Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice Julie Su there. Working-class New Yorkers are fortunate to have such a bold champion in the highest ranks of City Hall. (2/2)
We celebrated Lunar New Year, International Women’s Day, and CAAAV’s work to build power by organizing tenants & workers across Asian communities in NYC (and across generations, too). (1/2)
At long last, a beautiful warm day for canvassing. Finally feels like spring is upon us. Rapidly rising temperatures correlated with a rapidly rising number of petition signatures to get on the ballot.
Grateful to all the volunteers who hit the doors this weekend. People power!
They are not only the organizers of the future, but the organizers of the present! Their relentless energy and conviction in a brighter future will propel us forward.
Grateful & energized to have them on the team. (2/2)
Youth leaders in the house! (well, for now, in the campaign office). So great to have Youth-WFP helping us in this campaign. (1/2)
Sending my deepest condolences to Major Davius’ loved ones and colleagues. I’m among many New Yorkers grateful for his service to our city and country.
The human cost of war is catastrophic. We continue to wish for the safety of all serving here at home and overseas.
Even as families moved out of the shelter, many have stayed at the school. Thanks to strong parent & school leadership, it has become a beautiful hub of mutual aid. Proud of these excellent Brooklyn neighbors. (2/2)
Yesterday, I stopped by a clothes swap at P.S. 124 in Park Slope. The school has changed in some remarkable ways in recent years. Two shelters opened up during the pandemic, which quickly filled with asylum seekers in the years that followed. (1/2)
Happy to know that our Mayor and First Lady are safe, but horrified that there was such a disturbing threat of violence outside their residence.
Vile displays of Islamophobia will never be tolerated in our city.
We’re on the doors! This crew of canvassers launched from Tompkins Square Park throughout the East Village to talk to voters. Thanks to all of them.
This is a mission to fight authoritarianism, confront the affordability crisis, stop forever wars, and take back NY-10 for the people. Let's do this!
Ramadan brings people together in reflection, service, and solidarity. Thanks to the leaders of Beit El-Maqdis for welcoming us to your Iftar last night.
It was an honor to celebrate with NYC’s first Muslim Mayor @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and so many members of the Bay Ridge community.
Unconscionable.
Congress needs to aggressively reassert its authority. Stop this illegal war from becoming even more deadly. Now we know it was likely a U.S. bomb that caused mass casualties at the girls' school in Iran.
No more of our taxpayer dollars funding this savagery.
Wonderful to join NYU Dems last night!
I hear the priorities of NY-10's youngest voters loud and clear: Affordability in our neighborhoods. ICE off our streets. No more forever wars funded by our taxpayer dollars.
This is the agenda I’ll be proud to champion in Congress.
He’s literally trying to use this war to *checks notes*...
Make us forget about the Epstein files, bait us into funding DHS without any guardrails on ICE’s lawless behavior...and now let Netanyahu off the hook.
No, no, and no.
We're ready to take back NY-10’s seat in Congress and return power to the people!
This is our time to show that big money is no match for the strength of a grassroots movement.
Join us for a rally and canvassing at Tompkins Square on Saturday: mobilize.us/s/D6QxLv
Kristi Noem’s firing is long overdue. She oversaw vile crimes against humanity and we’ll never forget it.
But until ICE is abolished and expelled from our communities, we keep fighting.
Lawless federal agents kidnapping and killing people on our streets can never be normalized.
We need better Democrats.
Not a single dollar more for Trump’s illegal war.
Solidarity to the NYU faculty members as they prepare to strike.
University leadership must offer a deal that meets the moment: Stronger job security, higher wages, and academic freedom protections.
NYU, it’s time to give CFU-UAW a fair contract and also pay your RAs!
Wishing a vibrant and happy Holi to all New Yorkers celebrating!
Let this festival of colors burst with joy, community, and renewal.
“He’s not the flashiest guy or the most dynamic orator, but he just does consequential work that makes a real difference in people’s lives.” - Thanks Lincoln Restler and @prospect.org for one of the best profiles a not-so-flashy guy could ask for!
We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.
That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.
Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.
Today the race is on.
I’m counting on your support to defeat the AIPAC-backed quarter billionaire who bought this seat.

At a moment when our democracy is facing a five-alarm fire, it will take neighborhood leaders, organizers, and everyday New Yorkers standing together to protect it.
This coalition is ready to do that work and fight for the future our communities deserve.
I’m deeply grateful to our district leaders for their support and their partnership in this fight to elect better Democrats.
