Last night I had the honor of testifying in front of the BOC on behalf of @NYCSpeakerCoJo to emphasize the urgency of ending solitary in NYC. We must end ALL forms of solitary confinement — no exceptions.
Listening to Nicholas Feliciano’s family speak about their son and DOC’s failure to save him, my heart broke for this young man and the countless other NYers who have suffered because of our broken criminal justice system.
Radical reform is needed, and it’s needed now.
Reminder to everyone out casting their ballot today —

BREAKING: We just blocked Georgia's abortion ban.
Abortion is still legal in all 50 states.

They are a large part of what caused it.
I ran for office to protect my neighbors from abusive and exploitative landlords. Today, I stand with my colleagues behind the strongest package of rent protections in years. Thank you to all the advocates who fought so hard! Now, we need the Governor to sign it. #13inAlbany
