I’ve requested DOI_OIGNYPD conduct an official investigation and review of the recent pattern and practice of deploying official NYPD social media accounts to aggressively target public officials and civilians in NYC— and use dog whistles that can lead to threats and violence.
We’re proud to have organized a joint letter to Mayor Eric Adams to condemn Chief Chell’s inappropriate treatment of elected officials and journalists, most recently Tiffany Cabán.
Thank you to the elected officials across New York who joined us.
Our letter:
The state budget made progress toward addressing New York's housing crisis, but more must be done.

Friday, I was honored to host our Senior and Youth Luncheon at Yankee Stadium . We delved into discussions about bridging the gap between older and younger adults. Thanks to New York Yankees , @bronxbpgibson , @landondais77 , participating CBOs, and all of D16 who joined us!
On May 8, I'm sponsoring a Compost Build event at SmilingHogsheadRanch with Big Reuse, astoriapug, and NYC Youth & Comm.. Join us to process food scraps to build a windrow for International Compost Awareness Week, followed by a community potluck dinner. Register at lnk.bio/stcnyc.
“When the weeds are growing higher than your labradoodle, that's because the Parks budget is being cut instead of the grass.”

No one should have to choose between housing and a beloved family member.
Majority Leader Council Member Amanda Farías joined Urban Resource Institute and Homeless Services to launch the PALS pilot program, NYC's first pet-friendly shelter that will allow unhoused families to keep their furry friends. 🐶
#CD18 is now home to NYC’s first ever pet-friendly shelter!
Abandoning your pet should not be a requirement to receive shelter. Thank you to Urban Resource Institute for bringing this initiative to the BX and I look forward to working together to push for more pet-friendly shelters citywide.
Protecting homeowners from deed theft is vital to preserving homeownership.
I proposed legislation in my State of the City to combat these predatory practices, and the enforcement of laws is equally critical to protect homeowners.
Thank you Queens DA Katz for your work.
