For nearly 30 years, the WFP has been relentlessly focused on building governing power for working people in New York. @Jasgripper went on NY1 with @errollouis to discuss how the NYWFP is fighting to make New York a place where working families can afford to live and thrive.
If you've ever wondered how to stay involved beyond Election Day this is a great next step. Join the Working Families Party and help build people powered politics. https://t.co/T70u5xLhQr
As America turns 250, Black women are still doing the work of holding up a democracy that has never fully let us live it.

Welcome to Albany, @Brianr4NY ! A longtime Queens chapter member and a relentless fighter for working people is taking that fight to Albany.
Congratulations on your victory tonight, Brian!
AOC is one of the country’s leading champions for working families. We’re proud of her victory tonight - and we’re excited to continue fighting alongside her to deliver for working New Yorkers. @AOC
Listen to Bertha Lewis and go knock on some doors! Bertha Lewis was a founding co-chair of @NYWFP and the fearless leader of ACORN. The progressive movement was built from decades of work by Bertha and people like her. I’m proud to continue to carry the torch. @nychange
After getting a key to the city, Brooklyn born Knicks star Jose Alvarado is eating rice and beans at Toñita’s playing dominos with congressional candidate Antonio Reynoso, his campaign tells me.
NEW | Contrary to Claire Valdez’s speculation, AIPAC is not behind Real Fight NYC, a recently formed super PAC that has now spent $650,000 on ads boosting Antonio Reynoso.
Instead, the group is backed by unions that have endorsed Reynoso – with AFT providing a significant donation.
In Randi Weingarten’s own words: “There would be no way anyone on my team anywhere would do anything with AIPAC. We do not support AIPAC. We do not play with AIPAC.” https://t.co/IBrywCJQWh
Let's go! My first job out of college was organizing childcare providers to join the UFT to get the dignity they deserved. It is an honor to have their support as we take our fight for working families to DC!
Real Fight NYC, the PAC that has gotten in behind Antonio Reynoso with undisclosed money, is funded by labor unions, particularly the AFT, a trusted source with direct knowledge tells me.
There had been speculation that @AIPAC was possibly funding it, but that’s not right.
Leafleting for Antonio Reynoso!
✅ stopped ICE from operating in Rikers
✅ passed a key law to clean up commercial waste hauling
✅ enacted civil rights legislation over nypd’s objections
…and much more!
An NYWFP endorsement isn't a label - it's a commitment to fighting for working class New Yorkers across the state.
Early voting is OPEN! Text ENDORSED to 30403 to see your local NYWFP candidates.
Antonio Reynoso’s story is a Brooklyn story.
A son of Los Sures.
An ACORN organizer.
A movement builder.
He’s always fought for working people. Never taken $ from AIPAC. Periodt.
Proud to stand w/ @ReynosoBrooklyn & the people who built our movements here in North BK.
Stop w/ these fake accusations. Reynoso has NEVER taken AIPAC money & never will.
We’re running a campaign on facts. Antonio has consistently delivered for NYers. He's ready to Tax the rich, Abolish ICE & End the genocide in Gaza.
That’s why he’s our choice in NY7.
There are other possible backers of Real Fight NYC, including major real estate players who also litter Antonio's filing.
But this is a well-established pattern from AIPAC and its affiliates, especially when there's only one candidate who's been clear and consistent against the genocide.
