The violent assault during services at Central synagogue last night is horrific and unacceptable. No one should feel unsafe in their house of worship. Thank you to the NYPD for working quickly to protect congregants. My heart is with this community.

A bagel shouldn't have to be so expensive — but rising insurance costs are making businesses and landlords raise their prices astronomically.

That’s why I’m creating the Office of Insurance Affordability, to protect consumers and crack down on insurance increases that are burdening so many New Yorkers.

I was so proud to stand with our Youth Council, and education and transit advocates to announce the release of our report to revamp the student OMNY card system.

It’s time to pass the Delivery Worker Protection Act. The current system of subcontractors evade accountability and puts workers at risk. This spring, I chaired a hearing where we heard from the workers that this bill is necessary to protecting their safety and livelihoods.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon.

Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.

It leaves our workers unprotected and our streets less safe. It's time for a change.

I'm proud to support the Delivery Protection Act to crack down on exploitative subcontracting and build an economy that works for everyone.

Way too hot today. Bring the horses inside now!

[NYCLASS @nyclass]

🚨 RIGHT NOW IN NYC: Carriage horses are being forced to work during a citywide Heat Advisory, with the heat index expected to reach 95–100° today.

These horses should never have been brought out in this brutal heat.

If carriage drivers cared about their horses, they would not be forcing them to work in these dangerous conditions.

We must PASS Romanch’s Law, Intro 943, before another tragedy occurs.

TAKE ACTION: https://t.co/FCn0bRD79Y

We expect the lane to be re-opened by tonight.

Water was restored in the East Village earlier this week, & DEP has completed repairs to the water main. Con-Ed will continue repairs to its infrastructure tomorrow & the roadway will be partially reopened.

Hundreds of my constituents at Haven Plaza have been exposed to Legionella. Residents deserve timely, consistent, and accurate information about public health risks so they can take the steps needed to protect themselves and their families. Transparency must come first.

[CeFaan Kim @CeFaanKim]

EXCLUSIVE: Critics say the #Mamdani Administration needs clearer #legionnaires disease communication. In this follow-up report, Alphabet City residents with #legionella in their buildings say they’re confused by the NYC Health Department recommendations.

[Harvey Epstein @HarveyforNY]

Amazon reportedly spent $5M to bankroll a campaign against the Delivery Protection Act. Workers deserve accountability, not misleading corporate campaigns.

[Speaker Julie Menin @SpeakerMenin]

We are in the middle of a serious public health emergency.

A fifth person has just tragically passed away of Legionnaires’ disease and the fourth person who just passed away was only 32 years old and had dedicated their life to the medical profession.

This moment requires serious action. @NYCCouncil will be holding an emergency oversight hearing.

[Harvey Epstein @HarveyforNY]

My office worked to secure $5M to fund the 14th Street Y, serving our communities with vital multigenerational services. Read more here!

Due to a heat advisory and air quality advisory, tonight’s movie in Union Square is cancelled. Our next movie is next week in Tompkins Square Park on July 22nd.

[Harvey Epstein @HarveyforNY]

The hearing for Romanch’s Law is underway in the chamber. This morning, I stood with @speakermenin @nycdistrict1, family of Romanch and animal welfare advocates on the need to put an end to this industry. Tune in to watch it live on the council website!

[Harvey Epstein @HarveyforNY]

New Yorkers are ready to turn the page. Recent polling shows that an overwhelming majority of residents support ending horse-drawn carriages. After decades of delay, the council now has the chance and the responsibility to act. Read more below!

[Voters For Animal Rights @theanimalvoters]

"Too many horses have collapsed and died on our streets, their suffering unfolding in full view of New Yorkers and visitors alike."

Thank you, Council Member Chris Marte @nycdistrict1 and Council Member @HarveyforNY. https://t.co/boayV7C02a

[Harvey Epstein @HarveyforNY]

Thank you Speaker Menin for supporting Romanch’s law, the compassionate choice for both horses and the public. Let’s get it done tomorrow!

[Speaker Julie Menin @SpeakerMenin]

Today, I'm announcing my support for Romanch's Law.

It's time for New York City to begin the transition away from horse-drawn carriages in Central Park — for the safety of New Yorkers, visitors, and the horses themselves.

[Harvey Epstein @HarveyforNY]

It’s #InternationalNonBinaryPeoplesDay! Your existence is worthy of celebration and exactly as it should be. Whether you are out to the world or just to yourself, you are valid.
