So far, Dr. Wier of @CID_NY is the only disabled individual @MTorresSpringer, @linamkhan and @GracecBonilla have hired to be on @ZohranKMamdani’s transition team and Able News is excited to interview her next week. Stay tuned…
Big congratulations to Sharon McLennon Wier of @CID_NY for being selected to be a part of Mamdani's transition team #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs✊, but I wonder if @ZohranKMamdani knows who Dr. Wier is or if he even got a say in her hiring? @GracecBonilla @MTorresSpringer @linamkhan
