UPDATE: At least 3.4 million renters would be excluded from Governor Kathy Hochul's #GoodCause, based on new data from JustFix and City Limits Governor Kathy Hochul believes that 3.4 million NY tenants don’t deserve basic protections. housingjusticeforall.org/new-at-least-3…

An open letter to Senators & Assembly Members in the NYS Legislature:

Today I voted no on the ELFA budget bill, despite the fact that it contains many important and positive investments for our state. Here’s a 🧵 explaining why: 1/7

🙁 Flatbush Ave. bwt Empire and the Junction used to be such a beautiful merging of Black American and Black West Indian cultures. What's happening is a shame, people should learn from examples like Fort Greene, Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, and Northern Crown Heights. Will they?

Good! We finally get to see who's who. Also, imagine being a public official and being "really unhappy" about taking votes in public. 😂

Every politician says New York is the greatest city in the world. But what good is that if no one can afford to live here? I'm running for Mayor to lower the cost of living for working class New Yorkers. Join the fight. zohranfornyc.com/donate
