Please support with a donation! via Jason Q. Kazi: A young woman I know from the DMV Bengali community need helps paying for her surgery to get her tumor removed. Unfortunately, unless she can pay down part of her first surgery, the doctors will not perform her second surgery.

I'm heartbroken by the murder of NYC delivery worker Salauddin Bablu. This is a tragic loss for our community & a devastating reminder of the dangers our delivery cyclists face daily. Please donate generously to support his wife & children in Bangladesh. gofundme.com/f/donate-for-s…

Our taxi cab drivers are burdened with insurmountable debt as a result of the medallion crisis manufactured by the City. I just got arrested with Zohran Kwame Mamdani, Amanda Septimo, Harvey Epstein, @CMenchaca, and @VoteShekar demanding Mayor de Blasio act NOW to #EndCabbieDebt ✊🏽

91% reporting w/ Shahana Hanif at over 20K+ votes—surpassing any form of competition. Pretty excited to officially announce it: we have our first ever Bangladeshi-American Muslim feminist City Councilwoman in NYC! So happy ✨🇧🇩 There are no words, only joy. This is our history.

HISTORY HAS BEEN MADE BY Shahana Hanif 🇧🇩✨ NYC’s Bangladeshi diaspora is working class—taxi workers, deliverymen, food service employees, street vendors, etc—so to have one of our own in office is huge. We are dreams realized from our parents’ sacrifice leaving their homeland.

I was born & raised in Brooklyn. I'm the daughter of Bangladeshi Muslim immigrants, a Lupus survivor, & an activist. I'm humbled to be the first Muslim woman elected to the New York City Council and the first woman to represent my district. WE DID IT 😭✊🏽 nytimes.com/2021/11/02/nyr…

Just resurfacing AJ+ vid on Bangladeshi feminist organizing + how it has been integral to movement building in our 🇧🇩 diaspora. Shahana Hanif’s win represents that radical working class, anti-racist, feminist values & policies are exactly what New Yorkers desire in our city.

AMAZING NEWS! After 15-days hunger strike, NY Taxi Workers has finally come to an agreement w/ city to lower debt of immigrant taxi workers who’ve been suffering as a result of the medallion crisis. This win wasn’t easy. Taxi workers committed suicide as a result of debt. We honor them.

On Tuesday, we made history. Now, the work to build an anti-racist, feminist city continues. I'm excited to announce that WE'RE HIRING for key roles in our NYC Council office! Are you ready to join our team to deliver for Brooklyn & win real change? 👇🏽 ShahanaFromBK.com/jobs

Today’s Bangladeshi Amer for Political Progress (BAPP) membership engagement event was so much fun. We celebrated our victories, heard from amazing speakers, played our childhood Bangla games and ate samosas and drank chai. If you haven’t joined BAPP yet, what are you waiting for?

Baap re baap did we have a wonderful time being in community with radical Bangladeshi organizers and allies. Celebrated wins, commiserated our losses, and brainstormed for the year ahead. What are you waiting for?? bit.ly/BAPPMembership

Come through this Sunday @ Sapna NYC for our community health fair. Everything is free! - COVID vaccines 💉 - Mammograms - Health insurance enrollment - Application assitance: rental assitance, SNAP, FEMA Ida relief - Health education - Free PPE & giveaways

Right now, I feel really seen. I’m realizing how incredibly important it is for people to see representation and what it means that New York City has not had any Muslim women or South Asian and specifically Bangladeshi representation on our City Council. time.com/6114026/shahan…

Man, I love Bangladeshi restaurants in the Bronx! The owner of a local spot called Khalil Biryani is an expert in marketing—introduced Biden biryani when Biden won & then this inauguration graphic 😆 Bernie eating Biden + other rich millionaires & billionaires - a sweet metaphor

Check out this incredible 10-part workshop series led by leftist radical Bangladeshi organization in the UK Nijjormanush 🇧🇩 They’ve organized sessions on community organizing, movement politics & radical history + it’s completely free & open to all. First session is tonight ✊🏾

Just a thought—maybe instead of Western nations rushing to impose travel bans globally to prevent spread of Covid-19, they can stop hogging global supply of vaccines + actually make the formula available to countries where vaccinated population remains low due to lack of access.

Today I was officially sworn in as the NYC Council Member for the 39th District. To represent the community that raised me is a dream come true. I'm bringing my whole self and Brooklyn grit to the seat—the people of the 39th have my back and I have theirs. Let’s get to work! 🦾

Abbu passed away from a tragic accident in Dhaka on Friday, December 31st, 2021. The pain is so immense that I feel like I’ve died along w/ him. Still in shock & utter disbelief. All I ask from you is to pray for my dad, Mohammad Mosharraf Hossain, to reach the highest Heavens.
