The Ellis family moved into their Bronx home just over a year ago, but now, after demanding critical repairs from the landlord, are facing eviction. Their struggle is another reason why Albany must enact #GoodCause ASAP. amny.com/politics/exclu…

We are celebrating #pride all month long.

We're rallying to ban the last vestige of legal slavery in New York: forced labor inside our prisons and jails. Proud to sponsor legislation with Harvey Epstein that bans this practice once and for all, and ensure our Constitution reflects the dignity of every single New Yorker.
