Pride Month began as a protest—and here in New York, we carry that history with us every day.

Here in New York, LGBTQ+ parents and caregivers are raising children, building homes, caring for elders, and strengthening our communities every day. In Albany, I will fight to ensure LGBTQ+ families have the security they deserve.

Albany has underfunded our schools and asked educators to do more with less. We need to start treating it as the foundation of a healthy democracy, a resilient economy, and thriving communities. Learn more: https://t.co/GYjU6iligY.

Eid Mubarak!

At a time when too many people are being told to fear their neighbors instead of stand beside them, Jewish history gives all of us not just something to remember but something to learn from. Something that takes from the past and takes us forward into a better future.

I attended the third annual summit on AAPI power, Ascent: A Celebration of Asian American Leadership in New York City. Thank you to Council Members Shekar Krishnan and Linda Lee for hosting such a meaningful gathering and bringing together AAPI leaders from across the city.

This Memorial Day, we are reminded what we stand for: a country where every person, regardless of sexual orientation, gender, gender identity, race, religion, national origin, or disability, has the right to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.

This past Sunday, I was honored to attend and speak at the 5th Asian American Pacific Islander Cultural Heritage Parade in New York City. Thank you to everyone who came together to celebrate AAPI pride in New York City.

[Ben Yee for NY Assembly, AD 66 @yben]

In honor of AAPI Heritage Month, I wanted to share a little example of an experience I know many AAPI children can relate to: the high standards of our parents.

Thanks, Dad. Please read my policy paper. I hope I earn your vote.

Thank you to the 6th Precinct Council for inviting us to table. We had some great conversations with our neighbors discussing pressing issues and got some great feedback. Many people stopped by to tell me they saw my videos or saw me tabling out in the community.

For 20 years, I've been a leader in the fight for open government. I’ve worked to push reform inside a system that often protects insiders over the public interest. Learn more at https://t.co/uQY2D1vJcw.

It is a real honor to be recognized as a 2026 Mental Health Now candidate and to take the pledge on Mental Health Action Day. Mental health is health—and it should be treated that way in every part of our government. Because every New Yorker deserves the chance to thrive.

[Ben Yee for NY Assembly, AD 66 @yben]

There are so many things New York gets wrong on climate change. If we're serious about lowering costs & protecting our state, we should stop making working people foot the bill for fossil fuel expansion.

[Ben Yee for NY Assembly, AD 66 @yben]

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. We hosted an Arts & Culture fundraiser where my colleague and dear friend, Vinson Cunningham, spoke. The energy in the room was electric, and thanks to your help, we met our goal! To join our movement, visit https://t.co/q3l8D2CDTc.

Mental Health Awareness Month has to be about more than awareness. It has to be about action. It has to mean building a city where care comes before punishment, where people can access treatment before they reach crisis, and where vulnerable New Yorkers are met with compassion.

[Ben Yee for NY Assembly, AD 66 @yben]

Thank you to @tribecacitizen for taking the time to speak with me about the campaign for AD66. We discussed my work as a civics educator, my time working on the Obama campaign, and on the policies I am passionate about. To read the article, head to https://t.co/re78AEOTMd.
