No highway expansions! Instead of pouring billions into hwys, NYC should be investing in solutions that reconnect neighborhoods, expand green space, and give people safe, sustainable ways to get around. New Yorkers for Parks is a proud member of the Stop the Cross Bronx Expansion Coalition.

Why is everyone acting like $2300 is like an incredibly cheap apartment?! What do you think a one-bedroom apartment should cost???

Shout out the Amanda Septimo one of our Bronx champions always speaking out for working people. The Perrigo strike continues and we will not be intimidated! No contract, no work!

I'm very grateful for these kind words of support from my friend and colleague Amanda Septimo.

What do we want? A fair contract! I was proud to join the picket line again w/ Teamsters Local 210, Zohran Kwame Mamdani, & Amanda Septimo bc all workers deserve dignified wages, conditions, & benefits, but when their employer is large & profitable, there is zero excuse for anything less.

Today I walked the picket line with Teamsters JC 16 Local 210 members on strike in the Bronx. When Perrigo Company plc picked this fight, it wasn't just with these workers — it's with all of us. Because New York is a union town.

1/2 Perrigo workers rally in Claremont Monday, Sept. 15, for fair working conditions, accompanied by Democratic mayoral nominee Assemblyman Member Zohran Mandani (A.D. 36), Assemblywoman Amanda Septimo (A.D. 84), and State Sen. Gustavo Rivera (S.D. 33).

Our champion, Amanda Septimo keeping the picket line energetic day after day until we reached a fair agreement without any concessions. A toast to you!

Happy Friday!

Gracias ⁦Amanda Septimo⁩. El respeto por nuestra 🇵🇷is appreciated. This Bronx native & proud hija of Dominicanos did something that my compatriotas in elective office didn’t even notice or think about. Listen to part of the Assemblymember’s statement earlier today. #84thAD

This morning, UNITEHERE Local 100 joined in honoring the Puerto Rican victims of 9/11 at the National September 11 Memorial & Museum. Thank you to New York State Assembly Member Amanda Septimo and the 9/11 Memorial & Museum for leading this meaningful tribute. #NeverForget

The poor are not there by chance or by blind and cruel fate. Nor, for most of them, is poverty a choice. Yet, there are those who still presume to make this claim, thus revealing their own blindness and cruelty. #DilexiTe

Not only is Zohran Kwame Mamdani fighting back against racism and Islamophobia, he is making a lot of people feel seen for the first time. This is a true leadership moment from him.
