It was great to join the @AAFederation yesterday and connect with so many organizations doing critical work across New York City.

As one of the founders of the Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes (@stophatenyc), I’m grateful to be back supporting efforts to address hate, bias, and discrimination. Community safety starts with community—and these organizations are leading the way.

THIS IS AWESOME. I am excited to work alongside Justine.

[Sahalie Donaldson @SahalieD]

New: Mayor Mamdani has tapped Justine Olderman, the former executive director of The Bronx Defenders, to serve as his administration's criminal justice coordinator.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

The summer is a time for young people to enjoy the city, have new experiences, get a job or simply rest. It’s not a time for violence.

I sat down with violence interrupters and young men directly impacted by gun violence to talk about what this administration is doing to keep New Yorkers safe.  

Real public safety means investing in people before tragedy strikes: summer jobs, mental health support, community programs, safe streets, and trusted messengers who grew up in our neighborhoods.

I’ve known Brad Lander for over a decade. He’s thoughtful, principled, and deeply committed to New York City. Leaders like Brad are important for the future of this city.

Our first TV ad is up! 📺

We’ve got a fascist president, rogue ICE agents and billionaires trying to buy our elections. But around here, neighbors showing up for each other is how we fight back.

My neighbors and I approve this message.

Welcome! This is awesome news.

I’m incredibly honored to be joining the Mayor’s office to improve our city’s buses for the over one million New Yorkers who depend on them everyday. We’re going to make buses fast and free!

One of the Greats! Congratulations!

@hsnaveed is an incredible asset to safety work. We are lucky to have him back in NYC govt. From working on a number of issues from anti-hate violence to police oversight, Hassan has the know-how, experience, & relationships to help the city accomplish a care-based safety agenda.

[Kaliris Salas-Ramirez, PhD @DrKYSR]

As well he should! We need leaders like @hsnaveed in this moment who have experienced what so many New Yorkers have dealt with. He is honest, has integrity and has long standing relationships the marginalized communities! Great pick @NYCMayor

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

I’m outraged by this hateful, anti-Muslim attack in our city. No one should be targeted with slurs, threats, or violence—ever.

Muslim New Yorkers deserve to move through this city in safety and dignity.

Islamophobia has no place here, and we will not tolerate it.

[Hassan Naveed @hsnaveed]

“While hate crime reports against Jews have skyrocketed in recent months, some say the level of Islamophobia focused on the city is reminiscent of the months and years after the 9/11 attacks 25 years ago.

“It is absolutely scary,” said Hassan Naveed, who formerly headed the city’s Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes. “We’re seeing folks reposting, playing along.”

“This is not normal,” he added.

This image of rows of freshly dug graves for schoolgirls and their teachers is heavy for humanity. Each grave represents a child who should have been safe in a classroom, a future interrupted, a family changed forever.

My father, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., warned that war robs us of both the present and the promise of tomorrow. When children become casualties of conflict, we must confront the moral failure at the heart of violence.

Nonviolence is not naive in moments like this. It is necessary. It calls us to protect innocent life, to restrain the impulse toward destruction, and to pursue justice without sacrificing our humanity.

In our shared World House, the loss of these girls is not distant. It is a wound to us all.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

They were girls who went to school to learn, with hopes and dreams for their future. Today, their lives were brutally cut short.

I am heartbroken and appalled by the U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, including reports that a girls’ school in southern Iran was hit, resulting in the injury and death of many girls. The killing of civilians, especially children, is unconscionable, and I condemn it unequivocally.

My heart is with the children, families and communities affected by escalation across the region. I stand firmly against violence and the targeting of schools and civilians. I call for the escalation of violence across the region to end. Justice and accountability must follow. All states and parties must uphold their obligations under international law to protect civilians and safeguard schools.

Every child deserves to live and learn in peace.

[Hassan Naveed @hsnaveed]

We are turning into the forever war generation — raised in conflict, governed by escalation, and conditioned to accept civilian casualties as routine. Children killed after today’s U.S. and Israeli strikes in Iran should force us to reckon with what this endless war is making of us.

[The Martin Luther King, Jr. Center @TheKingCenter]

Our nation bombed a girls elementary school this morning. Little girls going about their day…dead.

[Melissa Mark-Viverito @MMViverito]

Longstanding relationships with proven results should mean something. This endorsement is proof that they do. Antonio is a progressive leader rooted in community who is deeply committed & has a track record of accomplishments to back it up. ¡Felicidades Antonio!

[Shahana Hanif @ShahanaFromBK]

We’ve seen professors across NYC universities fired for participating in pro-Palestine demonstrations and for their advocacy, often without due process. Allyson Friedman should face the same consequences.

[Hassan Naveed @hsnaveed]

Last month, @CrimJusticeNYC and @StopHateNYC hosted a Muslim American Heritage Month event intended to celebrate community and culture, yet it was followed by outside agitators engaging in anti-Muslim harassment. I heard about this directly from many people in the Muslim community, and it hasn’t received the attention it deserves — which is why I’m raising it.

We cannot allow hate to overshadow celebrations like this. Government institutions, including MOCJ and OPHC, share a responsibility to ensure culturally informed prevention and community safety. Strengthening that approach is essential so Muslim New Yorkers can celebrate freely and trust that institutions are equipped to support them.

[Hassan Naveed @hsnaveed]

Encouraging to see new leadership at @NYC_DOI. I hope the incoming commissioner prioritizes rebuilding the Office of the Inspector General for the NYPD (@OIGNYPD/@DOI_OIGNYPD). Over the years, the office has been stripped of staff and capacity — at one point reportedly reduced to just a couple of staff — with few public reports to show for it.

Strong, systemic oversight of the NYPD is essential. OIG-NYPD was the only entity dedicated to that role, and its decline is a real loss for accountability. Advocates and civil rights leaders spent years building that office — restoring its mission and capacity matters.

[Chris Sommerfeldt @C_Sommerfeldt]

Mayor Mamdani names former federal prosecutor Nadia Shihata as the new commissioner of the Department of Investigation.

"There will be zero tolerance for self enrichment or corruption in my City Hall," he says.
