The Supreme Court overturning Affirmative Action will have a devastating effect on people with disabilities. Many of them gained employment due to diversity and inclusion programs. The disabled community’s silence on this matter speaks volumes.

This Saturday come out for the release of the report on the Queensboro People's Space, owned and controlled by the western Queens community. Let's celebrate and tell the city that we are not for sale. Community Land Trusts are the future.

[Western Queens Community Land Trust @wqclt]

Queensboro People’s Space would offer access to healthy food and a pathway to culinary careers. @HotBreadKitchen @VendorPower @ChefConnected @rena_grossman @Gil_Lopez @SmilingHogshead @HellgateCSA

Falling short on CUNY's budget accepts that it’s OK for CUNY students to wait weeks for mental health counseling. Our counseling staff have outrageous caseloads! @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins @GovKathyHochul #NYNeedsMore

[Rena D. Grossman @rena_grossman]

Falling short on CUNY's budget will not fully address CUNY’s 2X the national average full-time faculty-to-student ratio. Colleges serving mostly students of color have less access to full-time faculty. @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins @GovKathyHochul #NYNeedsMore

[Rena D. Grossman @rena_grossman]

#NYNeedsMore in this budget. More funding, not more missed opportunities. @CUNY needs recurring, increased funding for #NewDeal4CUNY investments. @CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins @GovKathyHochul

[Rena D. Grossman @rena_grossman]

.@CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins @GovKathyHochul, #NYNeedsMore in this budget. CUNY needs a big down payment on #NewDeal4CUNY. 500K CUNY students & their communities are counting on you.

[Rena D. Grossman @rena_grossman]

.@CarlHeastie @AndreaSCousins @GovKathyhochul #NYNeedsMore. CUNY needs recurring, increased funding for #NewDeal4CUNY investments. There’s still time to add them to the final “Big Ugly” budget bill

[Rena D. Grossman @rena_grossman]

NYS needs a final budget that goes #Allin4SUNYCUNY by revving up @GovKathyHochul’s planned reinvestment in CUNY & SUNY. And CUNY needs the full $500 million increase toward the #NewDeal4CUNY supported by @AndreaSCousins @CarlHeastie & the @NYSenDems @NYSA_Majority

[Rena D. Grossman @rena_grossman]

Send a @CUNYRising letter to your state legislators & let them know you support the #NewDeal4CUNY! #APeoplesBudget https://t.co/3gpPcKzx7X

Hello@GillibrandNY,@SenSchumer,@RepMaloney —take action. @POTUS @JoeBiden to #StopLine3. We must protect our lands and waters and stop construction today. The Mississippi provides 1/5 of our planet’s water. Many of these places are in drought.

Rather than tear him down @VoteAshcraft offered her wisdom and experience. It's why I voted for her.

[Rena D. Grossman @rena_grossman]

@VoteAshcraft @AndrewYang Always happy to see you chime in, Lauren. You're reasonable and people focused. You continue to affirm why I voted for you.

[Rafael Shimunov @rafaelshimunov]

If Andrew Yang spoke to just one person working with street vendors or consulted any immigrant group, he'd delete this call for the status quo: which always ends as violent criminalization of immigrants.

@alyciaicyla It's also "funny" that the chancellor hasn't broadcasted this brilliance on social media yet.

[Rena D. Grossman @rena_grossman]

@alyciaicyla Well it's not like we have any brilliant faculty, administrators, staff or students at CUNY who have been working on this for over a year. Thank goodness we're bringing in corporate money.

[Rena D. Grossman @rena_grossman]

@Margaret_Heller @M_Birnbaum I love this so much.

[Rena D. Grossman @rena_grossman]

@dreamsofskies Feel so seen.
