JFREJers at SOMOS today joined MDCNY, DRUM, @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social and more for a Jummah Prayer and food distribution in Puerto Rico! “

Almost stayed home today after a long day week, but decided to canvass anyway… had so much fun meeting folks (and other librarians!) excited about making NYC a better place for us all! + a fun surprise from @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @shahanafrombk.bsky.social 💙

City council member @shahanafrombk.bsky.social and @bradlander.bsky.social getting out the vote!

Also of import from last nights election: The two Councilmembers who had the most total votes throughout the whole City were @shahanafrombk.bsky.social and Crystal Hudson: Shahana Hanif - 53,139 Crystal Hudson - 53,011 No one else crossed 50k

To be a successful working-class woman of color comes with the territory of erasure. I’m sure the kids will find me the way I found Begum Rokeya among others.

Without question, one of the hardest things I’ve taken on.

I'm truly in awe watching our community grow into our political power. They can't ignore us anymore! www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

The contagious energy from the No Kings rally has really carried me through a trying political week. Knowing that so many neighbors are mobilized against the callous and cruel White House keeps me fired up in this fight!

I grew up surrounded by saris. They’ve always been a part of my identity and they are part of New York’s history, too. I’m honored that the one I wore to my swearing-in is featured in the new exhibit at @NYHistory. New York Sari is on view through April! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/14/s...

Brooklyn is with you, AG!

Today ICE arrested New Yorkers in a shameful raid on Canal Street. I joined my colleagues outside of Federal Plaza to call for Mayor Adams to STAND UP for New York immigrants and REMOVE ICE from NYC. We are a sanctuary city and we will protect our neighbors. #ICEOutofNY

Feeling powered up after our canvass launch for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social in Park Slope with AM Bobby Carroll! Early voting starts 10/25 – it's on us to elect a mayor who truly cares about working New Yorkers and never backs down 🦾

Proud to join @cmrestler.bsky.social, @agounardes.bsky.social, @joannesimonbk52.bsky.social , and @repdangoldman.bsky.social in demanding a ban on nonessential flights from heliports in New York City! What our neighborhoods experienced during the Ryder Cup was completely unacceptable.

Come join me tomorrow night at Parklife for DEBATE NIGHT IN GOWANUS as we watch the people’s champ @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social take on the two Republican nominees! actionnetwork.org/event_campai...

With @bradlander.bsky.social, @jumaane.bsky.social, and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, I was honored to speak at a vigil organized by Israelis for Peace — mourning Hamas’s horrific attacks on October 7, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza. May we soon have peace, for Palestinians and for Israelis.

MSG has spent thousands against me for saying this, but I won’t back down. Commercial facial recognition is creepy and dangerous. It needs to be banned.

I’m proud that Democrats across the country are holding firm against the GOP’s shameful attacks on our healthcare. When we fight, we win!

I was honored to have been invited by Jewish constituents to join a Yizkor ceremony yesterday in Brooklyn. I was deeply moved by the rituals that reminded us: every life, a universe

The antisemitic attack in Manchester at a synagogue on Yom Kippur is a horrific assault on our shared humanity. Jewish communities must be able to worship without fear of violence. My prayers are with the victims, their families, and all who are mourning this devastating tragedy.

We also need to pass @shahanafrombk.bsky.social's New York City Trust Act, which would allow individuals to sue if city agencies violate their rights as immigrants. www.immigrantdefenseproject.org/ice-out-nyc-2/

Do you want your politics principled or poll-tested? Our options are clear. Zohran spoke out against Netanyahu when it was unpopular, but the right thing to do. Cuomo was literally Bibi’s personal lawyer. I’m glad the political tides are shifting, but this is cynical at best.

So many beautiful and familiar faces enjoying the rooftop reception! @tiffanycaban.bsky.social @votejgr.bsky.social @shahanafrombk.bsky.social

Win Rozario should still be here with us today. Nothing we do can bring him back, but this is an important step towards accountability. www.thecity.nyc/2025/09/12/c...

Adams’s trolling is low key hilarious, but the Trump-Cuomo scheming is serious business. NYC can’t afford another compromised Mayor. @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social all the way!

New York must say NO to the Williams NESE pipeline that would deepen our reliance on fossil fuels and raise our utility costs even higher!

Shameful stuff from Airbnb. Immigrants are welcome in NYC. Hate is not! www.huffpost.com/entry/airbnb...

We’re hearing concerns about loud overnight BQE construction near Hamilton Ave & Court St. NYSDOT is doing steel repairs 9 PM–5 AM for 3–4 more weeks. Report issues to Angela Salibi-Ghattas at 917-885-1008 or [email protected]. Our office is here to help.

Join the Gowanus Oversight Task Force on Thursday, 8/7 to learn about progress on all 56 City commitments and priorities going forward!

Solidarity with the @uaw.org 9A workers fighting for just contracts! These public service attorneys, social workers, and staff perform essential functions in our communities. They deserve fair pay and working conditions.

We’re in a climate crisis. Building more pipelines means more pollution, higher bills, and locking in fossil fuels. I’m proud to join the call opposing these two potential projects. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Wildfire smoke made headlines last week, but poor air quality isn’t new for many NYC neighborhoods. We need local solutions: cut traffic, stop idling, and reduce building emissions. gothamist.com/news/wildfir...

So proud of @shahanafrombk.bsky.social and the voters of the 39th district for showing that caring for your neighbors and real results are more powerful than big money and hate

I have never volunteered for an election campaign in my life before this and 1) Shahana's campaign team was so great 2) I met some really great people in my district through volunteering 3) she won! I'm so glad!

In disability/chronic illness election news, Shahana Hanif, who has lupus, will likely continue representing her district in city council after becoming the Democratic nominee again.

I just got back from the @shahanafrombk.bsky.social victory party in Brooklyn! And it was awesome! Here's Hanif at the moment she found out Cuomo conceded!

@shahanafrombk.bsky.social and @bradlander.bsky.social thanking JFREJ members for all their work in helping their campaigns 👏 Thank you for fighting to make NYC a more caring, affordable, and accessible home for all New Yorkers!

Packed house (and Zoom) for JFREJ’s summer assembly where hundreds of members are celebrating our electoral successes! JFREJ members knocked 4,000 doors, made 37,000 calls, and volunteered for hundreds of shifts for @bradlander.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social and @shahanafrombk.bsky.social.

[email protected] and I faced corporate spending and shameless fear tactics. Our winning playbook? Positive visions of a more affordable city. Coalitions that encapsulate the diversity of NYC. Field and comms programs that are creative, direct, and fun! www.wnyc.org/story/shahan...

Thank you, Brooklyn! Getting to represent the neighborhoods that raised me is the greatest privilege of my life.

Final hour—let’s bring it home! 🫡

Greeting voters at K280 with AM Robert Carroll! Come by, say hi, and VOTE!

15 hour shift at the polls to make sure @shahanafrombk.bsky.social is reelected!

POLLS ARE OPEN! LET’S GO! I’ve been out here since 6 AM with the coalition that wins — @nywfp.bsky.social, @ppgnyact.bsky.social, labor, @aoc.bsky.social…

More canvassing with @jfrejnyc.bsky.social for @bradlander.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social & @shahanafrombk.bsky.social !

আর অবশ্যই — আমাদের প্রিয় সিটি কাউন্সিল সদস্য, জেলা ৩৯-এর শাহানা হানিফ-কে আবারও নির্বাচিত করুন। And of course — re-elect our beloved City Council Member from District 39, Shahana Hanif. চলুন একসাথে ভোট দিই — এক হাসি-খুশি নিউ ইয়র্ক-এর জন্য। Let’s vote together — for a hashi khushi New York. 🇧🇩🗽

Amazing to be at Old Stone House with our incredible volunteers, @bobby4brooklyn, and NYC’s most courageous policy wonk: @bradlander! 🗽📝💪

THE WORKERS AT BROOKLYN STRATEGIST JUST WON THEIR FIRST UNION CONTRACT! Labor power right here on Court Street! ✊ @tabletopwu.bsky.social

This AM, I was at immigration court with @jfrejnyc.bsky.social, @bradlander.bsky.social, @tiffanycaban.bsky.social, and @votejgr.bsky.social. Masked ICE agents are still pulling our neighbors away from their families. What's happening is a moral failure. We can't treat it like business as usual.

To win a more affordable NYC, we need a Mayor AND a Council that puts working people first. Re-elect @shahanafrombk.bsky.social for District 39!

Wow. Waiting for learn the details here, but this is an extremely promising development. I’m grateful to our courageous municipal retirees who got organized and refused to have their healthcare stripped away. No Medicare Disadvantage! www.amny.com/politics/may...
