Out protesting NYPD deaths in custody. Nine so far this year. With @tiffanycaban.bsky.social @bradlander.bsky.social @legalaidnyc.bsky.social @tinaluongo.bsky.social

Last week, @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social, @tiffanycaban.bsky.social, @cmsandynurse.bsky.social, & @nyccomptroller.bsky.social were arrested protesting the conditions at 26 Federal Plaza. Immigrants have been detained there for weeks with no access to basic necessities. www.wired.com/story/ice-ma...

Eric Adams wants to violate New York State human rights law. Luckily, it is not in his power to do so. Students must be allowed to use the bathrooms that correspond with their gender. New York will continue to prioritize student health and safety over hateful lies about the trans community.

Join local orgs, elected officials, and activists to Stand Against ICE on Saturday, September 27th! We will be gathering in Astoria to demand an end to the disappearances. We will share resources to learn about how to get involved in local organizing and protect our neighbors against ICE!

Thank you to all who are pushing back against the dangerous deportation agenda that threatens all of us. @bradlander.bsky.social, @tiffanycaban.bsky.social, @emilyassembly.bsky.social, @votejgr.bsky.social, @juliasalazar.bsky.social, @jabaribrisport.bsky.social, bsky.app/profile/gwyn...

@tiffanycaban.bsky.social arrested outside of 26 Federal Plaza along with dozens of other protesters - including faith leaders and other elected officials - demanding ICE get out of NYC

Happening NOW: New Yorkers Against ICE! We are at 26 Federal Plaza, where ICE abducts immigrant New Yorkers, to demand access to the 10th floor and block ICE vans from leaving.

Three city council committees convened today to question the Adams admin about a citywide response to Trump’s cuts to housing, Medicaid, and more. The Adams admin didn’t even bother to show up.

May the remembrance of those we lost light the way. May we honor every survivor with the healthcare, housing, and support they deserve.

Please note: Our District Office will be open from 12-6pm on Monday, September 8th. Thank you for your understanding!

No New Yorker should be forcibly removed from our streets into dangerous involuntary treatment to boost Eric Adams’s reelection campaign. Forced treatment can double the risk of a fatal overdose. It is not associated with improved outcomes compared to voluntary treatment.

I am devastated to share that this morning, a driver on 19th Avenue and 42nd Street in Astoria lost their life in a car crash and killed two pedestrians. Our hearts are broken. I am in close communication with the 114th Precinct. Thank you to all our first responders on the scene.

My statement with @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social on Senator Gillibrand’s racist, Islamophobic comments about @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social.

Tonight! Phonebank with me for Alexa! actionnetwork.org/events/phone...

Countless people in Iran will be irreparably traumatized, injured or killed by this war. NYers with loved ones in Iran will face immeasurable fear and pain. It is heartbreaking and infuriating. This is a reckless, violent abuse of power by the President. The people’s demand is clear: no more war.

No more war.

Unacceptable. Zohran and his loved ones deserve safety. Across the country, elected officials are facing increased violence. The Trump admin and Cuomo’s Islamophobic PAC ads stoke hatred. We must vote in leadership that recognizes diversity as our strength, and protects it.

To liberation. #Juneteenth

This Friday: THIRD ANNUAL PRIDE FUNDRAGER 🌈 Don’t miss out. Maybe we’ll get matching tattoos. (Yes, there will be an incredibly talented tattoo artist, and comedians, and burlesque dancers, and drag artists, and a DJ, and much more) secure.actblue.com/donate/pride...

Wild how the best week of Brad Lander’s mayoral campaign has been the one when he did the most classic Brad stuff of all time (show up for vulnerable people and get arrested, talk about the Gowanus rezoning at length)

I’m urging all New Yorkers to support Immigrant Arc, the legal services organization I’ve been volunteering with. Even $10 helps provide asylum seekers with the legal resources and support that are so desperately needed. Please donate if you can. 🙏 secure.givelively.org/donate/immig...

Just days ago, Brad Lander called me to interpret for an Arabic-speaking asylee whose case was approved, yet ICE was still harassing him inside the building. Brad personally escorted him out to safety. He does this kind of work quietly, every day.

Grateful that Brad Lander is using his experience to highlight the biggest outrage; that ICE is re-arresting people who have been 100% compliant with ICE and the courts, with the goal of unlawfully stripping them of a court hearing to juice Stephen Miller's deportation numbers.

"I'm happy to report I'm just fine. I lost a button. But I'm gonna sleep in my bed tonight, safe, with my family... At that elevator, I was separated from someone named Edgardo... Edgardo is in ICE detention and he's not going to sleep in his bed tonight."

Solidarity.

My dear friend and colleague Comptroller Brad Lander was just violently detained by masked ICE officers while escorting folks out of immigration court. This is disgusting and horrific. He must be released immediately.

We are horrified at the targeted political assasination of MN elected officials, former Speaker of the House Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark, and the attempt on the lives of Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. Our full statement: localprog.org/MourningMeli...
