ICE snatched a NYC Council staffer following the law—going to a routine immigration appointment. This is an attack on due process, on our city, and on every immigrant here. Release them now.

Kudos to the mayor & Council speaker for supporting this, but JSYK these folks did the lion's share of work:
💐 On the outside: @vocal-ny.bsky.social, which (picking up the torch lit by Picture the Homeless), led the org coalition; and
💐 On the inside: Council Member @sandynurse.bsky.social.

ICE shot and killed a woman.
Now they follow their fascist playbook: lying and gaslighting to cover up their actions and villainize the victim. If you can stomach it, the video contradicts DHS’s fiction.
ABOLISH ICE. They kill and kidnap our neighbors. They endanger us all.

At 26 Federal Plaza, when I went to accompany my Venezuelan neighbors, I watched helplessly as they cried and begged to not be deported back to Venezuela. Despite it all, without due process and a fair pathway to US citizenship they were detained and deported by ICE. See my full statement.

NYC private sector nurses are fighting for fair contracts that protect patient care and deliver safe staffing. Our communities and nurses deserve better. Solidarity with @nynurses.bsky.social who are ready to strike. #NursesCareforNY #SafeStaffingSavesLives
BREAKING: Today, NYSNA nurses at 12 NYC private sector hospitals and 3 Long Island Northwell Health hospitals delivered 10-day notices to strike. NYSNA will continue to bargain between now and January 12th in the hopes of reaching agreements.

HISTORIC! A supermajority of @council.nyc.gov members (39/51!!!) voted to reform the NYC street vending system by passing Int. 431.
As the daughter and granddaughter of street vendors, I could not be more proud of how far we’ve come.

Today the @council.nyc.gov passed COPA to add another preservation tool to our toolbox!
By giving qualified purchasers a first chance to bid on distressed properties in city enforcement programs, COPA will help level the playing field & stop the cycle of speculation & rising rents.

My colleague Vickie Paladino continues to dehumanize the over 1 million Muslim New Yorkers that the NYC Council represents. It is time that the Council takes action and expels her. We cannot allow such flagrant racism within our legislative body. My full remarks:

At today's Stated Meeting I introduced the Tech Qualifications Package! Both bills are make sure our civil service can recruit the best talent - regardless if someone followed a four-year degree path. The package will expand access to tech jobs and strengthen the city’s workforce!

A million Muslims live in New York City. We belong here, as does every other New Yorker.
This is vile Islamophobia from the Councilwoman and it has no place in our city.

Street Vending in NYC is broken, but my bill, Int. 431-B, is a balanced path towards reform.
The bill pairs expanded ✨access to licenses with more enforcement resources✨ a clearer, faster, and more enforceable accountability framework.

🗞📰 Street Vendors. Bodegas. Supermarkets. Restaurants.
A broad coalition is united behind Int. 431-B because it fixes what’s been broken for decades.
With one Council meeting left, let’s get this done.
