Uplifting a radical transformative vision for NYC. Humane, anti-oppressive, equitable, people- & community-powered, not here 4 white supremacy or corporate harm
The #NY11 grassroots were hard at work today for tomorrow's event at @RepMalliotakis' Bay Ridge office. #COVIDNicole#DefeatMalliotakis

Thank you @MJalonschi for saying it so clearly: Our congresswoman doesn't care about us, and because of that, 3,000 of our neighbors, family members, friends, HER CONSTITUENTS, are dead. #CovidNicole#NicoleMalliotoxic#StopHelpingCovid
Experiencing all this flooding in NYC right now and thinking about all the politicians who told me that pursuing a Green New Deal to adapt our nat’l infrastructure to climate change is “unrealistic” & “too expensive.”
As if doing too little is the responsible, adult thing to do?
Read these demands from @AfghansTomorrow. Uplift Afghan voices and needs in this moment.
As @hodakatebi said, “Afghanistan is not a charity project. It needs to be a *reparations* project.”

Solidarity with the families who lost elders in the nursing home scandal.
Solidarity with the survivors.
Solidarity with every marginalized New Yorker who desperately needed an executive in Albany fighting for us for the last 10 years.
2/3 We can’t grow into courage on our own. People push us into that place of bravery because we are all destined to take our stories of struggle and make them stories of change. Join us in carrying our story right to the ballot box. https://t.co/j7ItXFoX0u
1/2 Our Queens is the Future fundraiser was filled with pure joy and hope. Thank YOU so much for your support and love. Flipping the last district from red to blue is about ensuring our communities have a representative that reflects the heart of #Queens.
At age 16, shortly after my dad died, I was sexually assualted on my friend's sofa. Had my friend who heard screaming, not intervened, it would've been much worse. Tried finishing my homework wondering what I did wrong before going home.
Let's end rape culture. #ImpeachCuomo

“The NYC government is blatantly putting the interest of big business over the interest of the rest of us. I want to reverse this setup. We need a New York that works for the workers who make this city run.”

(Part 1)
Former cop Eric Adams built his campaign on using the real fears of low income NYers about crime into an excuse to fund the racist, ineffective NYPD, & took more money from developers than any other candidate.
This fight is not over. The time is now to join a people's campaign.
Want to know why things move so slowly in NY? The @NYSA_Majority will have a hearing on RCV. Not the actual problem aka @BOENYC. RCV has brought us the most diverse representation in NYC history despite the incompetence at the Board of Elections. SMH!
We know what our own freedom looks like.
End the slavery permitted under the 13th amendment.
End the War on Drugs.
End police violence.
End health care, housing, and education apartheid.
WE are the experts on our own liberation. And we won’t stop until it’s won.
Tell us, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life*…in the @NYCCouncil?! Let’s process this energizing first #RCV election, allow time 4 rest & healing 4 those also aligned who didn’t win, grieve mayoral disappointment-& then get ORGANIZED✊
