@AOC@RepAOC - 565 testimonies against IQNS vs. 83 for IQNS last month. Your constituents have said it loud & clear: Working-class people in your district deserve more than the crumbs IQNS offers. Don't let these billionaires off the hook

CAAAV Voice is here to take on predatory developers and landlords who profit off of our suffering. We’re not about any one campaign, or any one politician. We’re about long-term movement building and creating a bloc of working-class Asian power. NYC politicians- you’re on notice
We’ve launching CAAAV Voice! CAAAV Voice is a cross-class, multi-ethnic formation contesting for working-class governing power in the city we all call home. We build power grounded in the experiences and demands of working-class Asian communities in Chinatown and western Queens.

Conversely, these ARE the tools of criminals bent on causing mayhem & hijacking what we all know is a worthwhile cause.

Yesterday, on Assata Shakur's birthday, the city's bulldozers knocked down the last standing wall of our HomeQuarters. Our official statement from youth leaders is here.
WRONG! The bill was passed by our national parliament & will be signed by the president soon. Democratic #Taiwan is a country in itself & has nothing to do with authoritarian #China. @PDChina is a commie brainwasher & it sucks. JW
Black women are not political mules to be used every time a mediocre white candidate needs to win.
No amount of verbal appreciation will do us justice. Turn over the money, resources and power, then we can talk.
