I’m running for New York City Public Advocate to stand up for you.
The New York that once led the world as the city of the boldest ideas.
Join me in putting people over corporations. https://t.co/QZIzWh7Eqh

More than a week before the deal was even announced, @rontkim was speaking out against #Amazon.
This is about supporting our #SmallBiz community and putting the needs of the people first.

We're here at a future @Amazon distribution center in Queens with @jessicaramos and @rontkim to call on the company to end mistreatment of workers. We must stand together against bad business practices that hurt our communities. #1u
AirBnB is an extractive company taking advantage of limited affordable housing and making it worse. We should be promoting and supporting true peer to peer sharing startups.
#NYCVotes
After @NomikiKonst incorrectly says she was the only one on stage to consistently oppose Amazon to NYC, @rontkim points out that he and @RLEspinal both declined to sign original Amazon letter & opposed deal.
@rontkim sharing a deeply personal narrative about his parents grocery store going out of business and filing for bankruptcy. It informs his advocacy and his passion to put people over corporations. #PublicAdvocateDebate@NY1@errollouis
.@rontkim starts off #NYCPublicAdvocate debate with strong anecdote about pols celebrating the opening of a chain store in place of his parents’ grocery store.
Ron speaks to systemic issues that make rich richer and life harder for working NYers.

We shouldn't be competing in a race to the bottom. That is why I've introduced legislation to end #corporategiveaways once and for all.
It's about time we put people over corporations.
#NYCVotes
It's almost show time!
Be sure to check out the 2nd @NYCCFB Debate tonight at 7 on @NY1 and @nycgov
This is the last debate so be sure to watch before #NYCVotes on February 26th!
Amazon thought they had a done deal and didn't expect any pushback.
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.

Another great op-ed by @anne_philpot@MichaelDFarren on how we must overcome the "prisoner's dilemma" that pits cities & states agst each other in luring big corporations w/ incentives.
It takes mutual cooperation & political courage:

Now at https://t.co/Xup8cdtnFB, NY Assemblymember @rontkim explains the labor concerns raised during the debate surrounding Amazon's #HQ2: "There's consensus that Amazon is fundamentally an abusive company, and we want to hold them accountable moving forward."
Let’s say no to giving billions of taxpayer dollars to the world’s wealthiest corporations, and invest in New Yorkers instead. We simply can’t afford to give away our money while our subways crumble and affordable housing disappears.

#NoAmazonNYC did it!
Instead of putting money towards corporate incentives, for the next ten years we should reinvest every single dollar back in addressing affordable housing, our crumbling subways, and broken schools.
