It’s absolutely wild how little mainstream media coverage there has been focused on the opinions of Black and Latino voters who make up the plurality of Jamaal Bowman’s district. #NY16

Jamaal Bowman: "I'm proud to be the only candidate in this race endorsed by Planned Parenthood, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries, Sen. Bernie Sanders, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, and 1199 SEIU, and the only candidate who rejects right-wing special interest groups like AIPAC."
With Trump on the ballot, we need strong, principled Democrats in Congress more than ever. In Congress, @LatimerforNY will protect abortion rights, stand up to the NRA, and fight for President Biden’s agenda—just like he’s always done. Make a plan to vote by June 25th!

We had to call it what it is— in my home district of NY-16 regressive democrats are relying on racial division & smear campaigns in the absence of a compelling vision for our shared path forward. This backlash to racial progress & multi-racial, cross-class solidarity is not new.
"Bowman is now the target of a coordinated smear campaign that aims to defeat him in the June Democratic primary by using coded appeals to white voters." A must-read from @JFREJNYC executive director @audrey_sasson & former @NYWFP director @sochiesays:

The vacuum of moral leadership in the US government at this moment is staggering. I stand with @RepRashida as she puts everything on the line to drag her colleagues to the right side of history.
I am the only Palestinian American serving in Congress, and my perspective is needed here now more than ever. I will not be silenced and I will not let anyone distort my words. I’m from Detroit, where I learned to speak truth to power, even if my voice shakes.

The Rent Guidelines Board is SO SCARED of tenants that they’ve blocked off the first few rows of the auditorium for tonight’s vote. Tenants aren’t dangerous. Rent hikes and evictions are. #MayorAdamsDontRaiseMyRent

If we want to move toward a world where everyone’s needs are met, the organized left—the portion of the left that sees building organizations & institutions as necessary to changing people’s lives at scale—will need to get serious about the role of $$ in our movement. @theninaluo

The legislative session ends tomorrow. We cannot—morally or politically—return to our districts without confronting the housing crisis. Let's stop deferring action while hundreds of thousands face eviction.

The overriding cause of homelessness in New York City is a lack of housing in the region, which has sent rents skyrocketing.

A full response to the climate crisis must also address these underlying injustices. That means ensuring dignified housing for every single person, good wages and paid time off, quality health care for all, and more. (3/3)

There are low-wage workers with health conditions who couldn't afford to take the day off. There are children with asthma who had to go to school because their working parents couldn’t stay home with them. (2/3)

The smoke choking New York is a painful reminder that the climate crisis does not affect us all equally. Today, there are tens of thousands of unhoused and housing-insecure New Yorkers who have no choice but to breathe the deadly air for 24 hours. (1/3)
