Naloxone should be free and easily accessible in all communities. No one should have to pay for a medication that can save a life from an opioid overdose.

We must simplify and remove unnecessary hurdles to house NYers in the fight to reduce shelter stays and end homelessness. Looking forward to reviewing these proposed changes and our continued work to improving CityFHEPS.
The convoluted process necessary to get an apartment through CityFHEPS requires hours of time, and if you make a mistake, you often start over. The Council will propose policy changes that aim to simplify the process for New Yorkers to access CityFHEPS. #MovingForwardTogether

Again and again and again. There is no reforming this. Defund and abolish now.

Ryan Gainer was 15, had autism, and was shot and killed by the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department because he was holding a garden tool. Murdering a 15 year old autistic Black boy, experiencing a crisis, is enraging and another example of a rotten system that must be dismantled.

In 2022, far-right justices on the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, catering to a few extremist billionaires & restricting our reproductive freedom. As Democrats, we can’t stand for abortion rights while taking money from anti-abortion megadonors. #RejectAIPAC

Mayor Bass going on CNN to talk about Inside Safe and of course @jaketapper would never ask her why she currently arguing in court to block the city controller from auditing the program. Expect @mayorofla to go on a major PR push to distract from her obvious corruption
I think it is inhumane to allow people to die in the streets. That's why we have Inside Safe and are doing everything possible to abolish the status quo, cut red tape and treat the homelessness crisis with urgency to SAVE lives.

.@nowthisimpact We agree - it's long past time we deschedule marijuana! Rescheduling is not enough:

This Women’s History Month, we recognize that the war on drugs is a war on women. Since 1985, drug-related arrests among women increased by 216%. Ending the drug war is not only racial justice but gender justice too. Read more here: https://t.co/rlOJnJkIGF

Dear politicians/political influencers: When you evoke my father this #MLKDay, remember that he was resolute about eradicating racism, poverty, and militarism. And about corrective justice work. Don’t just quote him. Encourage and enact policies that reflect his teachings.

“Don’t disrupt the president’s speeches” “Don’t block freeways” Many of you are the white moderate that MLK spoke about
60 years later, Dr. Martin Luther King’s description of the white moderate sounds all too familiar. #MLKDay
