Today we stood with Council Member Shahana Hanif and partners New York Immigration Coalition (NYIC) NYCLU and The Bronx Defenders to rally + stand with immigrant NYers like Jennifer, who suffered from detention and separation from her children when a city agency colluded with ICE - in direct violation of NYC laws #ICEOutNYC

'Who would you want to take care of your kid or your aging parent more than someone that loved their own kids enough to walk across a continent so their kids would have a better future?'

It's time to have a real conversation about how the criminalization of sex work perpetuates stigma, discrimination, and violence against those engaged in it. Thanks to those who joined me in today's call to Stop Violence in the Sex Trades. Let's get it done for Cecilia. #DecrimNY

1️⃣ in 4️⃣ American women will have an abortion at one point in their lives.

Abortion is health care. And politicians have no place in your medical decisions.

Despite its explicitly racist and antisemitic origins, many private colleges and universities still consider legacy preference as a factor in admissions decisions.

The Fair College Admissions Act would put an end to it at all NY colleges and universities.

.Governor Kathy Hochul passed a loophole-ridden #GoodCause that leaves out countless tenants and leaves tenants confused about their coverage.

Public schools in NYC are among the most segregated in the entire country. We need city leadership that's going to fight for a better future for students of color, not abandon them.

Today we joined our partners in Albany to demand the urgent passage of the New York for All Act.

The NYS Legislature must be a leader in the fight to protect immigrant communities, keep families together and stop collusion between ICE & police. #NY4All

With the 2024 presidential election looming, the time is NOW for NY to step up and enact strong protections to keep families together.

🗣️TELL LAWMAKERS: With only weeks left in the legislative session, we must pass #NY4All NOW to protect our communities.

🧵 The New York Equal Rights Amendment will be on the ballot in November, and this appeal is a crucial step toward ensuring that the voters — not a single, anti-abortion litigant or backward politicians — get to decide the future of our rights and reproductive freedoms. 1/
