Artists deserve compensation for their data being used and their work being taken by AI. We discuss Universal Basic Income, the Data Dividend, and more
From wanting real representation to having an advocate for doula care, we asked New Yorkers why they’re coming together for our movement. Why are you #VotingForYang?
My 5 yr old boy came home and asked me why bigger kid kept calling him Chinese Boy. My son, confused, told the boy I’m a New Jersey Boy. He laughed it off but my eyes welled up. 50 yrs ago my parents immigrated here but we cannot shake shadow of foreignness. #StopAsianHate THREAD
If you didn’t know who our small business owners want for mayor, here you go :) Our amazing volunteers put up 40!!?!? Y4NY placards today in Sunnyside, Queens! #yang4ny
After the pandemic hit, @AndrewYang fought for direct stimulus checks, campaigned for Joe and Kamala to get Trump out of office, and moved his family to Georgia to help flip the Senate. He’s 3 for 3.
Talked to a group of CUNY students last night via Zoom - what a tremendous group! Reflected the incredible diversity of the city. We must invest more in CUNY as the path to the future for so many New Yorkers of every age and background.
Imagine being a healthcare worker at a vaccination site and vaccinating only 3 people all day - you did 70 the previous time - and then being told you’re not allowed to reach out to patients who want to be vaccinated. Delays are lethal. This is bureaucracy at its worst.
Thank you all for coming out and registering new voters in the Bronx! As always, today was a big success thanks to our incredible grassroots volunteer team. We appreciate you SO much!!! 🙌✨
This is true in the US too. We do $1.5 trillion in tax expenditures every year and they mostly benefit those with higher incomes. 17% of that benefits only the top 1%. It makes more sense to stop doing that and start providing what is effectively a standard refundable tax credit.
James Dolan, NYC silver spoon billionaire bc of his father (sound familiar?) is starting a PAC to stop Andrew Yang.
Why you ask?
If elected Mayor, Yang would make Dolan pay taxes he’s avoided for decades.
This is the best reverse endorsement I’ve seen.

@BrianSachs No problem! Thank you for all that you do on the frontlines. I can't express how much I respect you and other medical professionals like you for helping our communities.
I already get livid about people asking artists to make free art for "exposure", so imagine how much I hate that LA County is asking medical professionals to volunteer at vaccine sites without pay during COVID. Are they planning to give them "exposure" ...to COVID? 🤦
