Always love the chance to meet workers organizing for a better life for themselves and others and negotiating their first contract. Keep it up, @sbworkersunited.org!

The Triangle Shirtwaist commemoration honored 146 mostly immigrant women who lost their lives in the 1911 fire. Their deaths weren’t just a tragedy. They were the result of workers having no voice, no power, and no protection. That fight isn’t over.

Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do. That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap. Here’s some of what we found.

Three decades after winning a landmark case to protect Thai workers, Mayor Mamdani's Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice Julie Su reflects on the lessons she’s learned and looks ahead to how NYC can become a pro-worker capital. @hamiltonnolan.bsky.social reports. inthesetimes.com/article/juli...

Love to all who also loved Lora Jo Foo. It’s been comforting to share stories and memories with many of you. juliesulabor.substack.com/p/loras-life...

Please read this brilliant piece. Rini Chakraborty has persistently remade the landscape as a philanthropic and community leader but she points to where there is more to do and how to do it.

Such an honor to be the first Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice. It is both by definition and by breadth a reflection of @mayor.nyc.gov’s commitment to using every tool in this city’s portfolio to make life better for working class New Yorkers.

In 2015, Chinatown Tenants Union helped win the first rent freeze in 46 years. Today, Deputy Mayor Julie Su is helping working-class families in Chinatown who are once again facing housing instability. Register to attend a Rental Ripoff Hearing or submit a testimony at rentalripoffs.nyc.gov

President Roxanne Brown!! Congrats to my friend and history-making leader on her installation as International President of @steelworkers.bsky.social

Ringing in the year of the horse with @mayor.nyc.gov, CAAAV, the legendary May Chen, and the Chinatown Tenants Union. Some of these organizers are former garment workers!

Loved seeing @bradlander.bsky.social! I’ve welcomed him to the US Department of Labor and met with him in the White House. This time we were celebrating working people in Chinatown.

A wonderful night at the @wgaeast.bsky.social 78th Writers Guild Awards celebrating writers and the power of unions. Thank you Tom Fontana and Sam Wheeler. Congratulations to all the nominees & honorees. Writers give the best acceptance speeches!

We continue to build a team worthy of New Yorkers and the bold ambitions of the Mamdani administration. The latest addition is Diya Vij. Together we will make sure that art & artists are celebrated, culture and community are valued, and all of it creates more economic justice. Welcome aboard, Diya!

Heads up, New York families: time’s running out! Free 3-K and Pre-K enrollment closes 2/27. Make sure your kids don’t miss out → myschools.nyc

In law school, we organized a symposium commemorating Stonewall at 25, brought LGBTQ+ leaders to campus, and published pieces on LGBTQ+ rights. As a mom, I brought my kids to visit the Stonewall Inn to learn about the history of civil rights that started there. Nice to see the flag flying proudly.🏳️‍🌈

Today, @NYCMayor took a selfie with us (@LosDeliveristas), @TransAlt, @OpenPlans, + many more transportation advocate partners after committing to new bus lanes and bike lanes for workers and communities like us — the people who keep this city moving. Thank you, @NYCMayor! 🚌🚲

Delivery workers keep our city running, rain or shine. I’m grateful for all they do—and for the chance to meet with them and Deputy Mayor Julie Su as we work to protect their wages and tips.

Zohran Mamdani has hit the ground running, taking on junk fees and wage theft to make NYC more affordable. I recently spoke with his Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice (and fellow former Labor Secretary) Julie Su about these early wins and what to expect next.

"We don't just care how people who sit in C-suites are doing. We care about how those who clean C-suites are doing too." NYC Deputy Mayor Julie Su explains why we must center working people in economic policy-making.

Resharing something I wrote last summer (link below), when the reign of terror of this federal admin was in full swing. Since then, I took my other kid to Death Valley in December. And the brutal attacks on immigrants have expanded dramatically and their violence has escalated.

As the federal administration’s brutality and racism continue to escalate, I joined Robert Reich to say: attacking immigrant workers doesn’t help American-born workers. Protecting vulnerable workers improves standards and safety for everyone no matter where they were born.

As the federal government shows brutality that knows no bounds, NYC says not on our watch.

Celebrating the Canarsie Public Library @bklynlibrary.bsky.social groundbreaking. #brooklyn #blackhistorymonth

Proud to celebrate the talented members of the @wgaeast.bsky.social and share the same commitment to growing the industry & union jobs.

First week of February. ❄️ It’s cold but it warms my heart to meet with and learn about the issues facing NYC’s workers—from union members who work on set 🎬 & behind the scenes 🎞️🎧 to those fighting for their first contract 💪🏾 like the @sesameworkersunion 🍪.

ICYMI, a Friday conversation with my good friend, @rbreich.bsky.social

Important article by Chris Brooks about @uaw.org’s 1st contract with VW in Chattanooga, TN. I remember when the workers first voted to unionize. They saw the power of a union because of UAW’s history-making contract with the Big 3. Congrats to these workers for showing the way in the South!

Like so many who grew up outside of NYC, I first fell in love with the city through what I saw on screen. Loved talking about the good union jobs that are created when tv, films, and live theater are made in NYC! Thank you, @rebeccadamon.bsky.social and @sagaftrany.bsky.social for hosting.

Heartwarming story of Richard Chow of the New York Taxi Workers Alliance @nytwa.bsky.social and his friendship with Mayor Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Week 3. This week we protected consumers from hidden hotel junk fees, beat back a lawsuit by DoorDash and Uber to weaken driver protections (the law is meant to stop these cos. from taking $550 million in tips through app manipulation), and got the word out about 3-K and pre-K registration.

If you book a hotel for $200, you should pay $200. Today, we shut down hotel junk fees and surprise credit card holds. The price you see is the price you pay.

Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.

This week, @mayor.nyc.gov stood with delivery drivers to take action against wage theft and worker exploitation. This lawsuit brought by @hellodcwp.bsky.social is not just an action against one company, it’s a warning to every app-based company from this Administration.

A New Era for Small Businesses in NYC. @mayor.nyc.gov issued an executive order to make it easier and more affordable to be a small business owner in NYC and I kicked off the Small Business Summit at the Barclays Center.

There is no economic justice without racial justice. I am thrilled to get to work with @mayor.nyc.gov & Afua Atta-Mensah to make this more than just a statement of principle.

New Yorkers deserve safe, reliable, affordable transportation where those who drive for a living are treated with dignity and respect. A strong @nyctaxi.bsky.social working in partnership across all agencies is essential to making sure that happens. Looking forward to working with Midori Valdivia!

Government should be all hands on deck to act boldly. Let’s grow industries that make this city vibrant, that reflect its beauty, diversity & creativity, and that bring good union jobs to NYC.

Week 1. @mayor.nyc.gov Mamdani has made affordability and economic justice for New Yorkers a bedrock principle at the foundation of every policy decision. Whether it’s announcing universal childcare with @governor.ny.gov Hochul or forming Rental Ripoff listening sessions…

Bluesky community! This is my official NYC mayor account. I’ll be posting updates on what’s happening at City Hall and how we’re delivering for New Yorkers. It’s great to be here.

Economic justice must include the ability to participate fully in the life of the city. That means being able to get a job, find a place to live, get a loan, grab a bite to eat, and seek help from City Hall.

“New Yorkers deserve to know exactly what they are paying, how much it will cost, and whether they are signing up for an ongoing charge — before a single dollar leaves their account.” - Mayor Zohran Mamdani @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

As Zohran Mamdani takes over as mayor of New York City, he joins his new Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice, Julie Su, to talk about building an economy that works for the many — not just a select few.

Through the Rental Ripoff hearings, City Hall will not only be listening, we will take action to ensure that the law is followed without exception and that New Yorkers know their rights when it comes to the often hidden or deceptive fees associated with the hunt for housing.

“Beginning today, we will govern expansively and audaciously. - Mayor Zohran Mamdani

@zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's vision is an NYC where economic growth & economic justice go hand in hand. That’s only a radical notion because we’ve become so accustomed to economic injustice as the norm. Doesn’t get better than working with @linamkhan.bsky.social & @saalevine.bsky.social again!

New Year, New Era. #nyc

If the US invested in child care and had national policies like paid leave comparable to other industrialized countries, we would generate $775 billion of economic activity a year. The question should not be, “how can we afford to do this?” The question is, “how can we afford not to?” Let’s do this.

@unitehere.org look forward to working with you to make sure one job is enough in NYC 💪🏼

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge tonight after an exciting day with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & team. Thank you for the warm welcome, NYC. Can’t wait to get to work.

I might start drinking coffee just so I can go somewhere besides Starbucks.
