As is tradition since 2009, closing out election night on Nostrand Ave and Foster Ave. Now PS 361 but still 269 to me. Thanks to all of NYC for all of your support through wins and losses, with a special shout to the Flatbush love that started it all. #Election2021

Any in 2021 is dyslexia still a dirty word? Dyslexia is a superpower! Never again with someone whisper in my ear their deep dark secret. Our kids deserve more.

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…

Thank you to PSPNYINC Tanesha Wendy Cole other allies for standing up for the mothers, children & elderly left homeless by 222 Lenox Rd fire today. While they are safe, they’ve lost everything.

Why we march...CEC17 president Erika Kendall, who co-hosted Fri forum, declared, “These problems impact general education students as well as students with disabilities. Schools in our district are angry. We are tired of the piecemeal approach--we want systemwide solutions!”

Over the week a desperate plea from a state funded school for high needs autistic children was circulating. So many vacancies…teachers, related services, para…even a custodian. Shameful. These children matter. PAY living wages to professionals.

Their employers treated them as trash. Abused them. Put their lives at risk. Now our children suffer and they are shocked they don’t want to put up it it anymore? Our children deserve more. Yet NYC Public Schools continues to pay bloated contracts. Shameful!
