The Brooklyn Defender Services Union is on strike. We are striking for a fair contract that makes our work sustainable. We call on management to come back to the table immediately so we can return to serving our neighbors. Learn more: https://t.co/3vSOGqdlno
We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran.
Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyond—a journey that continues today. https://t.co/AjT8qmxsZI

Happy Independence Day. No Kings in America.
