January 8th #BowieForever

Thank you Brad Hoylman-Sigal 🌈🥯!!!

Really sad, devastating news. A water pipe burst on Friday and ruined a LOT of books at Third World Press, the country's oldest Black-owned publishing company. They've launched a flood fund to get back on their feet. Please consider donating. gofundme.com/f/flood-fund-f…

why hasn't Hollywood done multiple movies showing the horrors committed by King Leopold II?

Bobbi, 9, was the subject of alleged racial profiling while working to eradicate the invasive spotted lanternfly in Oct. Last week, she was honored by Yale University. The lanternflies she donated to Yale Peabody Museum will be forever associated with her name. More: m.yale.edu/bf48

BIG NEWS: #CleanSlateNY has passed the Senate Codes Committee. Thank you to Codes Chair Jamaal T. Bailey. Now is the time to end perpetual punishment and allow New Yorkers to access jobs, housing and education. cc: Sen. Stewart-Cousins @CarlHeastie Governor Kathy Hochul

If Black kids are old enough to experience racism, white kids are old enough to read about it.

Now me too!

School breakfast and lunch should be universally free. “Lunch debt” should not exist for our nation’s children.

BREAKING: The Senate has included #CleanSlateNY in the one-house budget. Clean Slate will bring relief to New Yorkers who have been excluded from economic opportunity, stable housing, and higher education for too long. We call for passage now. Our statement:

Passing the New York Public Banking Act this session "will demonstrate the legislature’s commitment to addressing inequities in our financial system and economy while helping to promote stability in New York’s banking sector." nystateofpolitics.com/state-of-polit…

🚨BIG NEWS🚨: The New York Public Banking Act has now been cosponsored by a MAJORITY of the State Senate. It's time for Sen. Stewart-Cousins to bring this bill to a vote and clear the way for local public banks that will invest equitably in NY communities.

Second Circuit Court has just lifted the CAURD license injunction in four of the five regions: "The district court’s injunction is modified so that it bars the issuance of conditional adult-use retail cannabis dispensary licenses only in the Finger Lakes region."

Thank you Parabola Center

The time is NOW

I am full of hope, the time for #CleanSlateNY has come! This bill has unlikely partners and unlikely co-sponsors! We know that a real second chance will help people get back to work and access dignified housing! We know that #CleanSlateCantWait

There’s still so much work to do in NYS to support our fledgling regulated cannabis industry, but thank you for acknowledging my efforts thus far and naming me a Cannabis Industry Power Player! amNewYork™ PoliticsNY #NewYork #CannabisCommunity #cannabisculture #cannabis #ny
