NEW: Brian Romero, a DSA member who worked as chief of staff to Assembly Member Jessica González-Rojas, is now running to replace González-Rojas in the Assembly. (González-Rojas will be vacating her Assembly seat to run for state Senate.) https://t.co/BVfk6QijgU
NOW: I’m rallying with colleagues + families to call for the closure of Haze Land, an illegal cannabis shop in our community. This year we passed legislation in the budget to bring local enforcement to NYC and ensure people are not skipping communities impacted by the drug war.
There’s nothing more important than keeping our neighbors safe. This is for all the loved ones, including in my district, that we have lost to reckless driving. This is for Sammy.
Thank you to everyone who helped get it to this point. Let's make our streets safer.
As a mom and a legislator, I have fought for street safety. I never thought that I’d be a victim of traffic violence. But I was. And I was lucky to walk away with just a broken arm.
Join us on Spaces @ Noon EST today to celebrate #GivingTuesday2023 and learn about our fundraiser where you get to collect art while you donate!

CBO Spotlight 💡: Danny Rojas, Executive Director of @AllStarCode joins us today to talk about this amazing org! This org creates economic opportunity for young men of color by developing an entrepreneurial mindset and supplying them with the tools they need to succeed.
NEW: Last week I visited @DominicoAmerica to present them with a check for $30,000 for their Adult Literacy & Job Training programs. DASQ has been serving our neighbors for decades including our new arrivals. Amid the asylum seeker emergency, these are services we must invest in.

Welcome to SI Day!
All Star Code's 10th Summer Intensive is officially underway!
We are so excited to welcome our talented young tech enthusiasts to our virtual classrooms.
This is the face of a man who climbed the ladder of affirmative action to his present perch of power only to help destroy the very ladder on which he ascended. This is not only the mark of deep ingratitude & disavowal of history, but a withering betrayal of justice & democracy.
Today, we stand at a pivotal moment as we respond to a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that reverses decades of precedent on affirmative action. Together, we will continue to drive forward, never losing sight of our mission and the transformative power of education.
Look at where our Scholars are heading this fall! Congratulations to our Scholars who are graduating high school and to those making their transition to college. Keep celebrating failure, continue to dare greatly, and always tell your story. The future of tech is bright!
Five years ago today, Danny Rojas stepped into All Star Code. Over the 5 years, @DannyR0jas has led our organization through a pandemic, into national expansion, while always being an inspiration to our Scholars. Here's to many more!
Our team met in DC to participate in @CongressionalAC where three 2022 Scholars from TN were selected. Congrats Shaun Murray, Jared Murray, and Johnathon Sherrill! The keynote address was given by our own @DannyR0jas. We are so proud of our Scholars! Keep on shining, All Stars✨
