This week, we marked Transgender Day of Remembrance at City Hall. Trans Day of Remembrance is a day of loving memory and a celebration of resilience. We grieve for the trans folks lost to anti-trans violence. The trans youth who never got the chance to become trans elders.

From Puerto Rico to Brooklyn, Rep. @velazquez.house.gov has always been a champion and tireless advocate for immigrants, small businesses and working families. Your grace and fight showed us what real leadership looks like. From the bottom of my heart, thank you La Luchadora.

Powerful night uplifting trans leaders and remembering those we have lost at the Transgender Day of Remembrance event led by the City Council and Public Advocate. Proud to celebrate these amazing community leaders, and resolved to keep working for a world without transphobia and violence.

On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 5: Vito Marcantonio
There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Today ICE arrested New Yorkers in a shameful raid on Canal Street.
I joined my colleagues outside of Federal Plaza to call for Mayor Adams to STAND UP for New York immigrants and REMOVE ICE from NYC.
We are a sanctuary city and we will protect our neighbors. #ICEOutofNY
