Thanks to our Program Associate Leyana Dessauer & her dog, Brioche for making this!
My son and I made a butter cookie baking video back in a simpler world called April. We’ve picked up a few skills since then (socially distant BLM protesting being a key new line on our CVs) but we still love this recipe from @JennChingNSF https://t.co/XkDZ4dqYd1 @nyulaw
NYC has far more police employees per 10K residents (red line) than other major cities, more than 2x the per capita staffing than sprawling cities like Phoenix & Dallas, but also far more than dense cities like San Francisco & Baltimore - https://t.co/Fm2B5AQ5Ui #DefundNYPD
Mobilize in solidarity with activists and organizers across the country and world saying enough is enough. Change your social media profile pictures to the image below this week to show that you are committed to being in defense of Black lives. #DefundPolice#DefendBlackLife
Yesterday in Brooklyn NYPD pepper-sprayed en masse & body slammed those protesting murder of #GeorgeFloyd. Unacceptable violence enabled by state law 50-a. @NYGovCuomo said he’s willing to sign, time for Albany legislature to #Repeal50A. Full statement: https://t.co/uiscP6PskR
We urge @NYCMayor to announce a moratorium on NYPD enforcement on street vendors till this crisis is over. Street vendors experience sales loss up to 80% since last week, nobody can afford to pay fines under these circumstances. #DecriminalizeVending#VendorsRSmallBiz

What will happen if undocumented New Yorkers are allowed to obtain driver's licenses?
We don't have to wonder.
Let's just look at states that have already done it.
NM had a 24% drop in uninsured drivers.
CT saw a 9% drop in hit-and-runs.
CA drivers saved $3.5 million.
@JennChingNSF@RoadsKingdoms@NorthStarFund Let’s just say I’m a work in progress. I’ll start by donating to the right organizations (hint: @NorthStarFund). Thank you Jenn for the work, the talk, the tea.

Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble. #goodtrouble
@ConEdison we have total blackouts on Prospect Park SW in Brooklyn due to manhole fires and no ConEd presence. Outages reported, but no service on site.
Nothing but love ❤️ for all of the people who’ve stood by Constance Malcolm, the mother of #RamarleyGraham, in her 6+ yrs struggle for justice at a party she’s hosting to thank NYC’s police accountability community and remember Ramarley’s life.✊🏾😘
