New Yorkers know Attorney General James for who she is: a champion for justice who fights relentlessly for the people. Donald Trump knows her only as an obstacle to his corruption.

You may see these types of messages regularly posted by @workingfamilies.org and wonder: Why do they post things that are so obvious?

My take: To those in our lives who don't already share this worldview, conveying these messages in our own personal idioms often motivates them to orient towards it.

Let's redefine what keeps us safe.

Funding national security should mean funding housing, food, healthcare, clean air and water for all.

Why canvass for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social?

1️⃣ 1M votes for Z helps move his agenda.
2️⃣ Neighborhood canvassing builds bases.
3️⃣ Helps build the power of aligned orgs.
4️⃣ Talking with people you don't know is good.
5️⃣ Test your hypotheses.

When? Now thru November 04.

BIG NEW YORKERS AGAINST ICE rally at 6 pm, Thursday, 9/25 at Foley Square in NYC, friends! Please do come through!

If you've never been to a rally, why not start here? It's 2025 and it's time. We all gotta stand up for all of us.

Graphic reading "New Yorkers Against ICE / 6 pm * 9/25 * Foley Square" "Bring pots and pans." Image shows a pen and ink drawing of a group of protestors holding signs that read NEW YORK FOR ALL! NO TROOPS IN OUR CITIES! and ICE OUT OF NY.

I'm voting @nywfp.bsky.social because a vote on the WFP line sends a clear message: we want leaders who will tax the rich, freeze the rent, and make NYC work for all of us, not just the wealthy few. Join me and take the pledge! act.workingfamilies.org/forms/pledge...

I just pledged to vote WFP!

Join me in pledging to vote on the New York Working Families Party ballot line this November: https://act.workingfamilies.org/forms/bb301652f58e41af243d269554f4f8f3?source=direct_link&

Your pal @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at the West Indian Day Parade in Brooklyn. Genuinely hard to take a bad picture of this dude.

That's the @nywfp.bsky.social float behind him - follow them and let's make this man mayor and get him the progressive caucus he needs to get things done, NYC!
