We're at the Capitol today to introduce the Good Jobs for #GoodAirports Act, so that airport workers get the wages and lifesaving benefits they deserve! #PovertyDoesntFly
The redistricting chaos in NY was unleashed by the Court of Appeals.
Shirley Chisholm wouldn't stand for an assault on historic Black neighborhoods like Bedford Stuyvesant.
And neither will we.
““I have a family that I take care of making $9.25 an hour. This is not enough, y’all. This is not enough. We have to come out here and stand and protest just to let McDonald’s know that we are serious about what we deserve in this country” https://t.co/lPk8kPjVOY
Moments ago, thousands of 32BJ members, overwhelmingly authorized the Bargaining Committee to call a strike to begin after our current residential contract expires on April 20th! NO GIVEBACKS! #BuildingHome#BuildingStrong 💪

.@CMBrooksPowers is not only a dedicated public servant and a trailblazing leader, she is a wonderful mother and a dear friend. I was proud to swear her in for her inauguration ceremony. #SoutheastQueens and District 31 are in good hands with CM Brooks-Powers leading the way.

Rest in Power to an iconic, inspirational figure, Mr. Sidney Poitier. Life, well lived. Thank you for your artistry and example for Afro-Caribbeans like me.

1. My thanks to everyone who decided to wrap up this release well within the bounds of business hours on a weekday.
2. Oh my god, writing about the two Adamses is gonna get confusing.
@ericadamsfornyc I want to thank Mayor-elect Adams for his well-wishes as I prepare to take on the role of Speaker in the New York City Council. I know we will form a productive partnership to keep New Yorkers safe and turn our city around at this pivotal moment.
Let me be the first to congratulate my good friend Adrienne Adams on securing the votes to become the City Council’s speaker and making history. I look forward to working with her in partnership. @AdrienneEAdams1
Today, on #VeteransDay, we honor veterans like Security Officer Randy Ramirez and millions of other courageous veterans who put their lives on the line serving to keep our nation safe before and during this global pandemic.
