Last night I saw democracy in action. The Center School shaped my family—my husband, my son, my niece, and my nephew. As relocation plans move forward, students, parents, and teachers asked for time and real partnership. I’m committed to fighting to make sure they’re heard.

Walking through Columbia with my kids used to be a meaningful part of our routine. Now we pass locked gates and heavy security, and our neighborhood feels more divided. Neighbors trying to reach medical care and families just trying to get home deserve better.
Open the gates.

We ask nurses to show up for us at our most vulnerable. Now it’s our turn to show up for them.
Stand with nurses. Demand dignity, fairness, and a contract they deserve.

Over 200 people gathered at Columbus Circle for an interfaith vigil honoring Renee Nicole Good and the at least 36 lives lost because of ICE since January 1, 2025.
This violence is not public safety. It is state violence. ICE out of New York. Pass #NY4All.

A story that needs to not be overlooked. In a moment with an abundance of suffering. Please read this piece and be vigilant about noticing and interrupting antisemitism just as we attempt to notice and interrupt every other type of violence, hatred and injustice.

An arsonist torched a Mississippi synagogue. It feels hauntingly familiar.
