Thanks to Speaker Menin, Councilmenbers Gennaro, Marte, Aviles & others, NYC’s budget has small $ to start a program: ✅ cut energy bills ✅ create good, union jobs ✅ reduce pollution $2m, but not $10m. Could be the start of something truly great if @mayor.nyc.gov gets on board!

This Eric Adams regulatory loophole allows billionaire owners to evade reducing 85% of the pollution coming from their office buildings. It’s REBNY’s play. If this real estate loophole isn’t closed, it will cost thousands of good jobs, raise energy bills & increase pollution. 🧵

🚨FUND CITYFHEPS NOW! @speakermenin.bsky.social @vocal-ny.bsky.social @cmsandynurse.bsky.social @winnyc.bsky.social @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @council.nyc.gov @cmpisanchez.bsky.social

🚨RALLY HAPPENING NOW. CityFHEPS has proven to be the most effective tool the City has to address homelessness, which is why @mayor.nyc.gov must honor his promise to expand it. @vocal-ny.bsky.social @cmpisanchez.bsky.social @speakermenin.bsky.social @winnyc.bsky.social

We like the rent freeze way more than this photo but also we like this photo 😂 www.nytimes.com/2026/06/25/n...

💪💪💪👍👍👍

Thursday’s vote marked the first rent freeze ever for two-year leases.

BREAKING: days before budget deadline, 70 orgs deliver letter to @mayor.nyc.gov urging him to reverse NYPD expansion, stop broken windows policing, & invest in what really makes NYers safe: housing, healthcare & community-based support. Read: www.justicecommittee.org/post/70orgs-... #CareNotCops

Outside City Hall with @justicecommittee.bsky.social @vocal-ny.bsky.social @drugpolicy.org @housingworksnyc.bsky.social @genderlib.com and more to tell @mayor.nyc.gov: #NoNewCops! #CareNotCops!

All brings me back to 2012 and conversations when @gregtbasta.bsky.social when he was at @nychange.bsky.social & I was a a union.. the Voltron of building the power of NY’s left! Different neighborhood, ethnic groups, organizing models, agendas, working together.

"No job is more important than raising our city’s children." Op-Ed: @mayor.nyc.gov and Juanita Hollaway—NYCC member and home-based child care provider—call for fair pay and a child care system that truly values care work. www.amny.com/opinion/buil...

‼️STATEMENT: New York Communities for Change Celebrates Victory of @cct4nyc.bsky.social Christian Celeste Tate and @eonforassembly.bsky.social Eon Huntley in State Assembly Races, Defeating Entrenched Incumbents and Delivering a Mandate for Working New Yorkers

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Hakeem Jeffries talks about his constituents as “team gentrification”. He should fight for working people, not landlords.

Reminder to friends: Z won't be able to deliver his agenda unless the state legislature will hold the line against Governor Hochul and force her to #TaxTheRich. To do that, we need to win at least 7 Leftist Assembly primaries today. So if you can join us in the field anytime before 9pm, please do.

GOTV!

Banging doors in Cypress Hills for @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social and @cct4nyc.bsky.social ✅ tax the rich ✅ stop ICE ✅ insert some other talk point here we’ve knocked on so many doors we don’t even know what we’re saying anymore 😀

NYC’s pension funds can protect pension fund returns and tackle climate risk at the same time. They’re complementary, not contradictory! NYCC statement is response to @marklevinenyc.bsky.social announcement linked ⬇️

@nychange.bsky.social's been doing the hard groundwork in Southeast Queens of organizing— • Tenants; • Black + Brown homeowners who now risk displacement; and • Neighbors banding together against environmental racism. Their endorsement of @osterforus.bsky.social means a lot and matters materially.

Statement on @nyccomptroller.bsky.social @marklevinenyc.bsky.social announced review: “New York City’s massive pension funds are far too dependent on BlackRock and State Street, the world’s dirtiest money managers. NYC should prudently move its considerable business to cleaner firms.” Link below

FREEZE. THE. RENT.

"Doubted Climate Change." He was just being careful. Skeptical. He had reasonable doubts. Didn't want to jump to conclusions./s

The military may be US imperialism's most powerful force, but a close second is vulture funds. Hedge funds + private-equity firms buy up the global South's debts, then demand repayment in ruinous ways. Half of these contracts are governed by NY law. It is literally up to New Yorkers to stop this.

Breaking: Champerty passes NYSS! Now Carl Heastie needs to put it up for a vote in the assembly. Rich and powerful hedge funds shouldn’t be allowed to abuse NY courts to exploit vulnerable nations. Urge @nyassemblymajority.bsky.social - Pass Champerty Now! www.cityandstateny.com/policy/2026/...

We rallied with allies at City Hall to urge @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @council.nyc.gov to start a new program paying for modern, energy efficient heat pumps for 1-2 family homeowners: ✅ lower utility bills ✅ good, union jobs ✅ less pollution

We’re churning on #GasFreeNYC today! Wakefield & East Flatbush Cc: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @council.nyc.gov

Monday City Hall, join us! ✅ lower bills ✅ good jobs ✅ less pollution Rally to get @NYCMayor @NYCCouncil to allocate $10 million to start a first-in-the-nation generous city subsidy program for heat pumps for 1/2 family homeowners tied to high-road labor standards! 💪

The New York State Budget is passed. Key details: • 450,000 people will lose health care in July • NY becomes 1st state to roll back its climate law • No #TaxTheRich (pied-à-terre is 0.1% of budget) The Left lost big this year because of no gubernatorial primary. We must never repeat this mistake.

Thank you @amannakelles.bsky.social for voting NO on the budget bill gutting NY’s climate law! 👏 Just because Hochul pushes Trump’s energy agenda, does not mean that legislators have to go along with it.

Congratulations to the groups and orgs and elected officials who pushed for this (we did a little, too)! PS this isn’t the budget bill that guts the climate law. That’s probably coming next week to a debate/vote. Legislators should VOTE NO on that segment of the state budget!

On a related note: last year the NYS Senate passed this bill; as usual, the worse chamber was the Assembly. Yet another reason the Left *must* win our Assembly primaries this year.

Today, NYCC stood with @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social and @velazquez.house.gov in support of his policy agenda on Puerto Rico and closing the Champerty Loophole. Like Nydia, he will advocate for Puerto Ricans and all NYers, no matter where in the world they come from. www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...

BREAKING: Entry to gas behemoth Con Ed’s HQ shut down as NYers protest high utility bills, call on @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @council.nyc.gov to enact #GasFreeNYC

😂😂😂 Hochul before and Hochul now on the state’s climate law. She’s gutting it now. Tell legislators to VOTE NO!

Vulture funds force countries into crippling debt. This means nations can’t provide healthcare, education & climate resilience for their people. Close the Champerty Loophole Now! Protect vulnerable countries from being pillaged! prospect.org/2026/04/24/c...

Legislators should vote NO on the budget, not gut NY’s climate law. If this is adopted, NYers will pay even more for energy, jobs will be destroyed and pollution will increase. They should vote NO, not validate an oily deal presented to them by Hochul and legislative leaders.

@nychange.bsky.social member + SE Queens Chapter chair Jean Sassine is out with a good piece that connects the racial inequity of NY's real-property tax system with the need to #TaxTheRich via income + corporate taxes. PS: Jean also supports @osterforus.bsky.social. citylimits.org/opinion-prop...

Today @governor.ny.gov Hochul is scheduled to meet w/ Billionaire CEO Ken Griffin but will she meet w/ the constituency actually leaving NYC? Black families. While she’s in town the Gov is welcome to come meet with our members like SE Queens homeowner Jean Sassine. citylimits.org/opinion-prop...

“The Legislature must hold firm and not buckle by letting Hochul off the hook. It’s time to move New York forward, not double down on expensive, polluting oil and gas,” writes @nychange.bsky.social's @petesikora.bsky.social. citylimits.org/opinion-ener...

Our climate director writes in @citylimitsnews.bsky.social that the Legislature shouldn’t roll over to Governor Hochul’s Trump-y energy agenda. They should not restart a charade of phony goals that the state won’t meet. We need lower, not higher, bills! citylimits.org/opinion-ener...

Hochul wants to enact Trump’s energy agenda. The NY legislature should say NO! If the leadership and Governor cook up a deal to gut NY’s climate law in the budget, we will urge legislators to vote the budget down. No to higher bills, more asthma & a cooked planet. docs.google.com/document/d/1...

We’re pushing for NY state legislation to restrain vulture funds that shake down entire nations - using New York law. Let’s change that! Check it out:

Alt text: @nychange.bsky.social member Norman Frazier—an elder Black man dressed in bright-orange NYCC apparel—is being carried off, hands behind his back, by a state police officer and a man dressed in a suit, with more state police officers behind. Also visible is Assembly member Marcela Mitaynes.

Hochul has a bonkers Trump-style op-ed today claiming “No governor in modern times has done more to protect our environment than I have.” 🤪🤪🤪 For the record, check out the many actions she’s taken to pump up oil & gas company profits at our expense: readme.readmedia.com/HERE-S-EVERY...

BREAKING: 20 of us and other groups arrested blocking Hochul’s Albany office entrance b/c she’s trying to gut NY’s climate law. She wants to boost gas company profits at our expense by adopting Trump’s energy agenda. 🤬 New York, tell your state legislators: hell no!

One of our member’s over $4,000 gas bill for her small 1 family home in East Flatbush, Brooklyn. 😰 As our members struggle to pay rising energy bills, @governor.ny.gov Hochul pushes to *make it worse* by gutting NY’s climate law, locking us to oil & gas. The legislature should tell her: NO! 🧵

We want $10 million in the New York City budget to subsidize heat pumps for homeowners, and requirements that end new oil and gas boiler installations — this means cleaner air, more green jobs, and lower utility bills for New Yorkers! 2/2

🌍 On Friday, 4/17, @nypirg.bsky.social, @fwwnewyork.bsky.social, and @nychange.bsky.social delivered nearly 5,000 petition signatures to the Mayor's Office of Climate and Environmental Justice and Office of Mass Engagement in support of our #GasFreeNYC campaign! 1/2

Great, and grateful to Amsterdam News, to see this profile of James Inniss—someone people rarely hear about but who is doing a disproportionate amount of the work to organize NYC's organized Left in both electoral and governance work. He's not on here, but do follow his org: @nychange.bsky.social.

James Inniss boasts his own remarkable come-up as New York Communities for Change’'s (NYCC) current interim political director. His formative years played a big role in unofficially laying the groundwork for his organizing ways. Read more here: https://bit.ly/4sALEX6

We love seeing an organizer get their flowers, especially someone as kind & effective as @nychange.bsky.social’s James Inniss!
