AIPAC and their MAGA billionaires don’t want to see us in power. They don’t want to see Black and brown, working class people rising up. That’s why they’re spending up to $17k/hr to try and buy NY16. On June 25 we’re going to prove that the many will beat the money. #WeDecide

NYC’s Budget Must Include Immigrants for the Success of Our City "New York City must build an infrastructure for the success of all families, no matter how long they’ve been here or how much money they make." Murad Awawdeh citylimits.org/2024/06/28/nyc…

ICYMI: we’re hiring! Apply by this Sunday, July 7th to join our team.

.NYC Progressive Caucus is hiring a new Executive Director! The PC has been instrumental in the passage of critical public safety legislation, winning a $2 billion boost in capital funding for housing, and pushing back against the Mayor’s austerity. We’re just getting started.

Our office is deeply troubled, angered and concerned to hear about this incident. We are in contact with the Parks Department to ensure that all of our neighbors are safe and welcomed at Astoria Pool. We will continue to keep D22 residents up to date on next steps and outcomes.

Eric Adams is a terrible mayor and he’s single-handedly making life more expensive for New Yorkers.

MDCNY named @CityandStateNY Jon Lentz list of NY top political clubs! A decade in, we organized mobilized + saw next gen of Muslims + our members Zohran Kwame Mamdani Shahana Hanif 🦾 run + win on our values. We will continue making our mark w/ #MuslimVOTE @ the polls + beyond.

.MDCNY effectively and urgently engages diverse progressive Muslims. It’s been a privilege to be involved as a member while observing local Democratic clubs struggle with diversity, recruitment, and being insulated by old guard politics and leadership.

Started from the bottom now we here 🙌🏽

This is a photo of Babri Masjid, a mosque that stood for over 400 years in Ayodhya, India. In 1992, it was destroyed in a riot instigated by the BJP, now India's ruling party. On Sunday, Hindu nationalists want to celebrate that atrocity in NYC. Will Mayor Adams let them?

Packed house for the Palestine panel at the DNC. This feels like a defining moment in so many ways. I saw so many wearing ceasefire pins, shirts, flags, and kuffiyehs in the halls too.

The Uncommitted National Movement 🌺 is hosting a sit-in outside of the convention center calling on the Democratic Party to have a Palestinian person speak on stage before the convention ends. They’ve also called on uncommitted delegates and Harris delegates alike to come out and sit-in solidarity.

This is shameful. At the same convention where our platform states, ‘we will speak and act with clarity and purpose on behalf of human rights wherever they are under threat,’ the DNC has denied Palestinian-Americans the platform to follow through on those very words.

"I think our opposition has been keen on limiting who participates within our democracy because it serves their needs of having an unengaged populace," New York Immigration Coalition President Murad Awawdeh tells Documented. ✍️Fisayo Okare documentedny.com/2024/08/02/mur…

“Every New Yorker, regardless of when they arrived here, deserves to live a life free of violence and threats to their safety. Our leaders must do better, and stop scapegoating asylum seekers for any perceived problem in New York City.” Murad Awawdeh apnews.com/article/queens…
