[STOP KILLING US ✊🏽 @EventsbyMarva]

Black-Palestinian solidarity was at the heart of the Civil Rights Mvmt. From Malcom X, MLK Jr, to Muhammad Ali. Nelson Mandela, even after 30 years in jail - was loud with his support. No lives should’ve been lost AND the condemnation is a purposeful narrative
speak your truth!

published this love letter to Rockaway & the moms I organize with & their patient kids, to guerilla gardeners who throw sunflowers in vacant lots, to DIY climate organizers who plant milkweed in hopes the monarchs might return, to blaine's rice & peas, and to you, if you read it!

[STOP KILLING US ✊🏽 @EventsbyMarva]

Such an honor to work alongside and scheme and dream with @sabinathegreat - please read this amazing love letter to a community that’s so full of beautiful potential 🌱💜

ICYMI: Our coalition launched the #PeoplesBudget campaign to fight against @NYCMayor's budget cuts to libraries, 3K, schools, CUNY & services and provide an alternative vision for a City budget that prioritizes #CareNotCuts. (h/t: @ny1 @emilyngo)

Standardized tests are racist. There's so much our kids need to learn, and 'teaching to the test' is a waste of their precious time. Join @NYCOptOut @AQE_NY @EducationCounc1 @MOREcaucusUFT @integratenyc for this teach-in with @JamaalBowmanNY!

Send a letter to your city council rep and the NYC Mayor to demand a budget that fully funds the People! Use this tool for ease…

Queens goes hard when it comes to fighting for a #PeoplesBudget. Our members and steering committee were out in force today with @PeoplesPlanNYC .

We need #CareNotCuts to build the city working families deserve.

[The People’s Plan @PeoplesPlanNYC]

@NYCMayor is cutting libraries, schools, pre-K for 3-year-olds, CUNY & core social services. Unless New Yorkers fight back, there will be major cuts by June 2023. Email the Mayor & your Council Member TODAY to demand #CareNotCuts! We want a #PeoplesBudget! https://t.co/ldpaoNbZxH

Did you know there are several city owned lots on the peninsula that community members have put to use? 😍 Join us this Thursday 2/23 and Sat 03/04 to learn more about where other vacant lots exist and how to reclaim the peoples land! DM for more info.

[Talia Jane @taliaotg]

CM Joanna Ariola got up and left the hearing as soon as public comment — opened by @NYCLU — began.

Ariola claimed the key to fixing the NYPD was giving them more funding (hasn’t been shown to work) and giving them more respect on the job (doesn’t make any sense).

[NY Working Families Party @NYWFP]

We need a strong New York City Council ready to push the kind of policies that will make life better and more affordable for working families, especially with a Mayor intent on cutting public services. Today we're proud to endorse 16 candidates for NYC Council.

[Rockaway Revolution ✊🏾✊🏻✊🏽✊🏿 @RockawayRev]

Sigh… bruh.. as a journalist (?) and failed politician (?) you should know better than this. The safest ‘hoods have the most resources NOT cops. Lumping all these ‘hoods together and speaking for the people in them is not it ☠️
Colonize much??

[Ross Barkan @RossBarkan]

Please walk the streets of Southeast Queens, East New York, Brownsville, Canarsie, or the South Bronx and tell them that the NYPD budget should be cut by 50% this year, as per the demand of activists in 2020, and that a new police precinct in Southeast Queens should be shut down.

The wealth generated in New York should be used to improve the lives of the working people that generated it in the first place.
