Twitter for iPhone : “According to current data from the CDC, every county in [NYC] is a red zone.”
Our COVID transmission rates are all the reason we need to offer a remote schooling option. Thank you John C. Liu & Robert Jackson for intro’ing this bill. We need this clarity before it’s too late.
Twitter for iPhone : Had the absolute pleasure to present ERIC with a Council citation for his decades of service in government, activism and at Baruch College. Excited for his next chapter!
Twitter for iPhone : I'm so grateful to @WorkersJusticeP for their trust + collaboration these past months.
Tomorrow belongs to #LosDeliveristasUnidos. I urge my NYC Council colleagues to join us in passing these bills, the first step toward securing rights and protections for NYC delivery workers.
Twitter for Android : Office hours are open at @NYPL's Kips Bay Library until 2 pm. Stop by with your questions!
Twitter for iPhone : First we learned of the mass deportation of Haitian asylum seekers.
Then we saw those images from TX, of people being chased and whipped by border patrol officers on horseback.
There aren't words strong enough to condemn this blatant inhumanity. It must stop. Now.
Twitter for iPhone : The inhumane working conditions our #Deliveristas face are unconscionable—and that's exactly why we're fighting to pass a legislative package in the NYC Council to change that.
Deliveristas deserve basic human dignity in doing their essential work. Workers Justice ✊🏾
Twitter for iPhone : Things we love to see: New York Boricuas serving the city we love and taking care of our loved ones in Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Always a joy to be in the company of Félix V. Matos Rodríguez!

Twitter Web App : On the 4th anniversary of #HurricaneMaria, we're reminded that no matter the crisis, we act as one.
Puerto Rico is part of our NY family, and the Puerto Rican community can count on us for support—always.
Paid tribute to victims tonight at the Hurricane Maria Memorial in NYC.
Twitter for iPhone : Hard to believe it’s been 4 years since #HurricaneMaria devastated our beloved isla del encanto. I’m grateful to have been with Boricuas + elected leaders today to honor those we lost, take pride in Puerto Rico’s continuous rebuilding, and reaffirm NY’s steadfast partnership 🇵🇷❤️
Twitter for iPhone : Much respect to mi hermana en la lucha Jessica Ramos for fighting for our #Deliveristas at the state level. Her partnership is vital, always.
Mira 👀 We’re working in the NYC Council to pass our legislative package protecting deliveristas’ rights and dignity. Stay tuned.
Twitter for iPhone : Sharing my testimony in support of the passage of Int. 1867 that will expand the right to vote to more of our immigrant neighbors who pay taxes and make their lives here. I commend CM Ydanis Rodriguez for his tireless efforts on this meaningful and important legislation!
Twitter for iPhone : NYC’s immigrants are our neighbors + loved ones. They pay taxes for City services just like any NYer—yet they still don’t get to vote in our municipal elections.
This is a right they more than deserve. Proud to join Ydanis Rodriguez#OurCityOurVote coalition to say let’s #PassIntro1867!
Twitter for iPhone : Carlina Rivera 利華娜 speaks! “The vote is intrinsically linked to who holds power. With voting rights under attack across the country, NYC must stand up for what’s right. Municipal voting will make us better! We must be a leader in expanding voting rights to our immigrant neighbors.”
Twitter for iPhone : I want to thank my city colleagues Carlina Rivera 利華娜 & Gale A. Brewer for joining this fight! Now we need our City-wide leaders to join us in this fight as well so that we can include our non-citizen New Yorkers in our democratic process.
Twitter for iPhone : “Our government and our city should be shaped by New Yorkers. Now is the time for #OurCityOurVote!”Carlina Rivera 利華娜
Twitter for iPhone : Some promising news to start the week! Being able to vaccinate younger children is crucial to our overall recovery, especially when it comes to ensuring in-person learning in schools.
