Wow! I just spoke with @AymanM on @MSNBC!
My NYC Council win is a moment of tremendous joy for my communities, my family, and my immigrant parents. I'm energized to expand representation and ready to build an anti-racist, feminist NYC grounded in care.

I was born & raised in Brooklyn. I'm the daughter of Bangladeshi Muslim immigrants, a Lupus survivor, & an activist.
I'm humbled to be the first Muslim woman elected to the New York City Council and the first woman to represent my district. WE DID IT 😭✊🏽

Shahana Hanif, a former City Council employee, won her election in a Brooklyn district. A Bangladeshi American, she is the first Muslim woman elected to the Council in its history, despite the fact that the city is home to an estimated 769,000 Muslims. https://t.co/gIfIOPwTBs
We won the Democratic primary this June with over 15,000 votes — and we’re just getting started!
We're hosting a Zoom this Monday 8/9 at 7pm to share what's next for our movement to build a feminist City.
Will you join us? https://t.co/6LQZZilanB
WE’RE IN THE @NYTimes 😎🦾
“Shahana Hanif, who won her primary in Brooklyn, is expected to be the first Muslim woman elected to the Council in its history.”
I’m excited to bring this representation — and our socialist feminist movement — to City Hall!

I can’t believe it’s been a YEAR since I spoke with Tanaïs for @TeenVogue! In the interview, I spoke about my community organizing experience and surviving Lupus in Brooklyn.
This will be the year we elect the first Muslim woman to the NYC Council 🦾✨

Passover calls us to end exploitation in all its forms, dismantle unjust and oppressive systems in our society, and work towards the liberation of all.
Wishing all who celebrate a Zissen Pesach!
Carroll Gardens/Columbia Waterfront was home to Laura Brunetti, Francesca Caputo, Clotilde Terranova, young women killed by #TriangleShirtwaistFactoryFire.
I was honored to chalk Francesca Caputo’s name. TY @streetpictures for this powerful community memorial rooted in art!
We are REALLY looking forward to this VERY #FeministFuture event! See you there.
We remember 2019 when another inspiring progressive candidate (surprise it was @ewarren) spoke in Washington Square park about the important movement history of Triangle Shirtwaist Factory... 💙
Today, we are proud to announce our endorsement of @JCarrollFoy for Governor of Virginia!
In a crowded field of candidates, Jennifer stands out as the best to take the state forward into the decade of the #GreenNewDeal!
I'm 4th generation garment workers union. 4th generation of NY Jewish organizers. The legacy of the #TriangleFire is pivotal to so much of that.
So I'm thrilled I'll be introducing this powerful event with @ShahanaFromBK!
On the 110th anniversary of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire this Thursday, join me and four powerful advocates to honor the 146 workers who died in the fire and talk about how we can advance a people-powered economy: https://t.co/u3gYTKDn55
Wow. This might explain why the New York Times has been silent on my 600-day house arrest without trial. Billionaire Robert Denham sits on the boards of both Chevron and the NYT.
@NYTimes: Comment?
It's time to hold CEOs accountable. President @JoeBiden can do this by ending federal contracts to @amazon & any other union-buster. Our tax dollars shouldn't be enriching companies that mistreat their workers.
