We’re taking bold action to tackle NYC’s housing crisis in the heart of Manhattan! After @nyccouncil’s Zoning and Land Use Committees voted in favor of the Midtown South Mixed-Use Plan, the plan now heads to the full City Council for a final vote. Let’s get it done!

Protesters gathered on W52nd Street outside Clinton Park Stables in Hell’s Kitchen today, demanding an end to New York City’s horse‑drawn carriage industry in the neighborhood where tragedy struck yesterday afternoon. #W42ST w42st.com/post/rally-out…

.⁦Erik Bottcher, a co-sponsor of Ryder’s Law, said he hopes to see it passed before year’s end. “In the future, people are going to look back at this period and be truly ashamed by the way that we treat animals. How many more horses have to die?” w42st.com/post/rally-out…

“Local lawmakers and officials, including Councilman Erik Botcher, state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal, Comptroller Brad Lander, and mayoral front-runner Zohran Mamdani, speed-walked across 34th Street from First to Eighth avenues, beating out the M34 bus by seven minutes.”

Last night, we took a victory lap bus race on 34th Street to answer once and for all: what's faster, the M34 or your own two feet? The data's in: you can officially walk faster than the M34. 👟 beat the 🚌 by seven minutes!
