When I returned from prison, I was committed to two goals: to never go back and to uplift my community. As I told @CityAndStateNY, “I achieved both through political involvement.” I’m starting the Second Chance Democratic Club to help others do the same. https://t.co/szG7Lo6mOh

Now is not the time to put politics over people. He needs to sit down and let @NYCMayor continue the good work he is doing. https://t.co/gWhHpVvLqr

The #CleanSlateNY Act reaffirms our state’s commitment to repairing past injustices, preventing future ones, and giving all New Yorkers a second chance. As the first and only formerly incarcerated NYS Legislator, I'm proud to have voted YES on this bill.

All workers represented by @PSC_CUNY need raises above the rate of inflation. A fair contract for workers means quality education for the students they serve! #APeoplesCUNY!

Every worker deserves time off to vote on Election Day. Why is @REI refusing to extend its 2 hr paid time off policy to its only unionized stores @reiunionsoho @reiunionberk? ALL workers deserve compensated equal access to vote. #REIunion
