My heart is with the people of Panama following today's powerful earthquake.
Panama, Colombia, and Venezuela are more than neighbors. We are sister nations, bound by history, family, and a shared love for our people.
In moments like these, borders mean little. Our solidarity means everything.
Panamá, no están solos. 🇵🇦🇨🇴🇻🇪❤️ #panama
ICE shot a man in Marble Hill today, with a five-year-old child inside his car.
We still don't know why agents opened fire. What we do know is that a man was wounded, a child was endangered, and an entire community was terrorized.
This is not public safety. We demand answers, an independent investigation, and accountability for ICE's violence in our neighborhoods.
Un grupo de vendedoras de Corona Plaza acudió a nuestra oficina para denunciar maltratos.
Después de alzar la voz, perdieron sus espacios de trabajo. Les hemos brindado apoyo y muchos de sus casos ya están ante la Comisión de Derechos Humanos.
Estas mujeres merecen recuperar sus puestos y ser escuchadas. #univision41
El café para mí nunca ha sido solo café. ☕️🇨🇴
Es mi abuelo recogiéndolo con sus propias manos. Es nuestra finca. Es mi mamá. Es el olor de una taza de café colombiano que me conecta con mi familia, mi tierra y tantas generaciones de trabajo.
Detrás de cada grano hay manos campesinas, conocimiento, paciencia y una historia que merece ser valorada.
En este Día Internacional del Café, celebro con orgullo a Colombia, a quienes cultivan uno de nuestros mayores tesoros y a las raíces que siempre llevo conmigo. 🌱☕️❤️ #diainternacionaldelcafe
La presencia de ICE sigue sembrando miedo en nuestras calles. Nuestras familias inmigrantes merecen sentirse seguras en la comunidad que llaman hogar.
Nueva York tiene que actuar, proteger a nuestras familias no puede esperar.

To our Jewish neighbors observing Yom Kippur, I wish you a meaningful day of reflection and renewal.
May this sacred time bring comfort, clarity, and peace, and may the year ahead be filled with hope, compassion, and kindness. Wishing you and your loved ones an easy and meaningful fast.

A special day at Queens Community House as we celebrated the newly renovated kitchen at the Forest Hills Community Center! 🎉
I’m proud to have secured $750,000 in state capital funding to help bring this space to life, supporting food access, job training, and opportunities for our community.
Congratulations to the entire QCH team! ❤️
🇨🇱 ¡Felices Fiestas Patrias, Chile!
Este 18 de septiembre celebramos junto a la comunidad chilena una fecha que reúne identidad, orgullo y ese vínculo con Chile que permanece fuerte aun estando lejos de casa.
Desde Queens, un abrazo a todos los chilenos y chilenas que hoy celebran. ¡Viva Chile! 🇨🇱
🚨1.5 MILLION New Yorkers screened through NY Social Care Networks.
Half by ONE org: PHS.
Celebrated with 50 CBO partners @MetCouncil Manhattan food distribution center.
Proud to be key partner of PHS.
Thank you @SenatorSutton@ebottcher@jessicaramosqns + @KathyHochul. 🙏
A healthier New York starts with making sure people have the support they need beyond the doctor’s office.
I joined Public Health Solutions, Met Council, and community partners to celebrate an incredible milestone: 750,000 New Yorkers screened through WholeYouNYC for wraparound services, connecting people to food, housing, transportation, and other essential support.
This is what whole-person care looks like and we need the program renewed.
A cleaner neighborhood starts with taking care of our shared public spaces.
After I requested action from the MTA, the 74th Street area was power washed last night, helping keep one of our busiest transit hubs cleaner for our neighbors, commuters, and local businesses.
I’m glad to see action being taken, and I’ll continue advocating for cleaner, safer public spaces in our community. 💪🏽
🇲🇽 Hoy México celebra su independencia, y desde Queens nos unimos a esta gran celebración.
Es una oportunidad para honrar una historia, una cultura y unas raíces que trascienden fronteras y que están profundamente presentes en nuestra comunidad.
¡Feliz Día de la Independencia de México! ¡Viva México! 🇲🇽
Nuestra herencia se vive en nuestras calles, en nuestros negocios, en nuestra música, en nuestras familias y en cada persona que ha hecho de Queens su hogar.
Este Mes de la Herencia Hispana celebramos todo lo que somos, lo que hemos construido y la fuerza de una comunidad que todos los días deja su huella en Nueva York.
Nuestra herencia. Nuestra fuerza. ¡Feliz Mes de la Herencia Hispana! ❤️

¡Feliz Día de la Independencia a toda nuestra comunidad centroamericana! 💙🤍
These are our neighbors who died on September 11, 2001.
They lived in Jackson Heights, East Elmhurst, Corona, Elmhurst, and Woodside. They belonged to families who still carry their loss and to a community that remembers them.
Twenty-five years later, we remember each of them by name. We hold their loved ones close. And we remain grateful to the first responders and ordinary New Yorkers who ran toward danger to help others.
May their memories always be a blessing. We will never forget.
🎒📚 A great day at P.S. 222Q in Jackson Heights, helping our students get ready for a new school year!
Thank you to our community partners for making this backpack distribution possible. Wishing all our students a successful school year! 💙✏️
Happy Labor Day! 🇺🇸✊
Since joining the State Senate, I have been proud to fight alongside New York’s workers for fair wages, safer workplaces, stronger protections, and the dignity every worker deserves.
The labor movement has shown us what is possible when working people stand together. Today, we honor those who fought before us and recommit ourselves to continuing that fight for every worker and every family across New York.
When workers are strong, our communities are strong. Happy Labor Day! 💪🏽💙
