👏👏👏 Brilliant work by Lincoln Restler Jesse Towsen @m_r_r_alexander on a comprehensive and *achievable* climate plan for D33. Local bottoms-up efforts like this are just as important as top-down policy advocacy -- we can do *all* of this in D33 *now* -- let's get to it! 💪💪💪

New York City Councilmember Lincoln Restler released a new climate action roadmap for Brooklyn’s 33rd district on Tuesday, designed to prepare the neighborhoods he represents for their specific crises and concerns related to the climate emergency. gothamist.com/news/brooklyns…

Thank you Queens Borough President Donovan Richards Jr. and New York City Council Members Lincoln Restler James F. Gennaro Council Member Shahana Hanif Carmen De La Rosa CM Jen Gutiérrez ​​Council Member Kevin C. Riley for introducing a Resolution calling on Governor Kathy Hochul and the Climate Action Council to honor NY’s bold Climate Law.

NY has an opportunity to lead on decarbonization. We must do everything in our power to maximize clean energy investments. I’m proud to join my colleagues & climate justice orgs to call on NY Climate Action Council & Gov to resist fossil fuel industry & protect our communities!

Calling it antisemitic for a Jew to fight for Palestinian human rights is gross. Using pictures of her interfaith wedding this way is worse. Can’t wait for the progressive policy campaigns Emily Mayer🔥 is going to win w/NYCProgressives.bsky.social that the Post is going to hate even more.

We’re on the steps of City Hall unveiling our new legislation to ban solitary confinement in NYC. Solitary is torture. It’s long past time to end it.

Ugh

Several NYC Council members and mental health consumers are urging the Adams administration to not close some of the city's mental health clubhouses. The facilities serve people with serious mental illnesses who might otherwise be socially isolated. gothamist.com/news/nearly-tw…

Almost two dozen members of the New York City Council are banding together with mental health consumers to urge Mayor Eric Adams' administration to reverse course on a plan that could force some of the city's mental health clubhouses to close. gothamist.com/news/nearly-tw…

OPINION | Clubhouses for NYers with mental illness Mayor Adams announcement to replace existing clubhouses with new sites that would be three to 12 times the size of existing community facilities is shortsighted, Linda Lee for NYC and Goddard Riverside #JustPay write. trib.al/XlSTjH1
