On Wed Nov 12, the #NYCCouncil will vote on a bill supporting a citywide residential #WasteContainerization program. It’ll reduce litter on the ground, trash bags on our sidewalks, & the rat population. Ask your Council Member to support #Intro1123-B: https://t.co/iihKFLy5g7

Proud to stand with @nynurses today to call for a fair contract with good wages & benefits and strong safety protections for the nurses who provide world-class care for all New Yorkers.

In 2022, the Council passed my bill laying the groundwork for universal childcare. And now we must continue fighting for a more affordable city for New Yorkers. That starts with free 2-Care for All. Read more in @CityAndStateNY đź”˝ https://t.co/3YisfKGH2a

WE HAVE A DEAL: We are happy to share that after all of our hard work - and with the support of the people of New York - we have a tentative agreement on our first contract with Alden Global Capital.

Millions of families could lose access to food starting this Saturday because of the Trump administration’s cruel and reckless decision to halt SNAP benefits. Over 1.7 million New Yorkers depend on this aid to survive. This is indefensible. https://t.co/mrYpqoT5PL

A Nov. 1 pause on SNAP benefits threatens food assistance for 1.7 million New Yorkers, just as new work requirements also take effect.

This isn’t about me. It’s about all of us. It’s about a justice system which has been weaponized. A justice system which has been used as a tool of revenge. My faith is strong. I have belief in the justice system and the rule of law.

We're launching a portal to review federal immigration enforcement in New York after yesterday’s ICE raid on Canal Street. New Yorkers who were present should submit videos or photos, and we will review and investigate any violations of the law. https://t.co/jTixVi4yE6

As the parent of a two-year-old, I know the challenges with finding and paying for childcare. Every parent deserves to know this city has their back. Thanks to @NY4ChildCare & @UNHNY, we have a path toward free, universal childcare for 2-year-olds in NYC. https://t.co/5Af5XJ0RpP

🧵New Yorkers collectively spend $7 BILLION on child care out of their own pockets in NYC alone. Our 2-Care for All Blueprint will put money back into parents' pockets — by laying out how the City can provide free, universal child care to every 2-year-old in NYC. #2CareForAll

@CMAlexaAviles @CMCrystalHudson “ICE is not welcome in NYC,” says @CMCrystalHudson and @CMSandyNurse. “This is an escalation and just the start of what’s to come. NYers we need you to learn your rights, get plugged in! We need you with us.”

Proud to have worked with @NYCSanitation to secure this major win for District 35 residents in Fort Greene & Clinton Hill. Coming up next: citywide residential on-street containerization thanks to my bill: the RAT Act!
The first Empire Bins outside West Harlem have landed in Brooklyn! As of today, these on-street waste containers are keeping rats away at 19 schools in Fort Greene and Clinton Hill – just like uptown. More bins are on the way: https://t.co/HWeR3GhzpP Promise made, promise kept.

Agreed! That's why I've introduced my "Ride Safe, Ride Right" bill to crack down on the sale of far-too-fast e-bikes in our city. It's time to make sure that every e-bike in NYC is a safe one. https://t.co/gDfNNPk7wo

New Yorkers are riding illegal vehicles marketed as e-bikes with little to no-consequences, and it's a safety problem.
Proud to be part of a large and growing coalition to take the common-sense step to phase out the heaviest and fastest “e-bikes” on the streets. Our sidewalks and bike lanes should be safe for everyone, and 20mph is plenty for anything on the streets of NYC.

Today, Council Members rallied with New Yorkers and advocates in City Hall Park to tell Donald Trump “Hands Off New York City!” in response to threats to send National Guard troops onto our streets and continued federal actions that undermine public safety and threaten our

A very sensible step here is to move the @CMCrystalHudson bill to end the sale of the heaviest and fastest Class 3 e-bikes in NYC (capable of going up to 25-28mph). Our sidewalks and bike lanes need to be safe for everyone. https://t.co/tN0Y6h53Dr

A new city council bill would ban the sale of Class 3 e-bikes, which are only allowed in NYC and can reach speeds of 25 mph.
I'm so saddened to hear of this tragic and avoidable death near the Brooklyn Navy Yard. We have so much work to do to make sure our streets are safe and accessible for everyone. https://t.co/ZQh2ee6cgM
