Just had two surprise meetings while at the gym in my district today. Lack of open communication with department leaders is hindering our district’s progress.

Right now, hundreds of thousands of immigrants living in New York face the terrifying prospect of deportation and family separation. With the budget deadline approaching, #NY leadership must embrace humane solutions. queenseagle.com/all/2024/4/11/…

NEW: 'A modest investment of $150 million in immigrant legal services promises to yield tangible benefits from day one. This funding, comprising less than 0.07 percent of the total state budget proposed by the Governor and legislature...' Catalina Cruz, Esq.

We are joining forces with Senator Brad Hoylman-Sigal and Catalina Cruz, Esq. to make sure NYS funds immigration legal services at $150M—a crucial step toward advancing fairness and family unity. We applaud them for championing the #AccessToRepresentation Act!

During Second Chance Month, we acknowledge officials that support our Institute for @justiceandopp & worked to pass Clean Slate. Clean Slate is a prime example of giving ppl a second chance & we look forward to its implementation later this year. @catalinacruzny @senatormyrie

Are you guys at all surprised? 💫

Divers have recovered the body of another construction worker.

Tori has fought for sexual harassment survivors. She's worked to help elect good Democrats in battlefield districts. And she's never been afraid to stand up to the powers that be… which is why the powers that be are running someone against her. So we're ALL IN for Tori Kelly

This was Zomi in Pakistan….like so many other missions….always a brave soul….an Angel….
Dear Zomi I have no words….but I promise you, your spirit will always be with us…we will always feed people, with love and kindness….you made all of us better…..You made invisible…

Angels that the only crime they committed was feeding people….😢😔🫶🏻🕊️

Zomi was a beloved World Central Kitchen partner, fearlessly starting days into a deadly pandemic in the epicenter, setting up our food pantry when all around us were dying. War is f*cking complicated, but wanting the best for humanity isn’t. RIP, bella, you showed me the good in the world.

Really interested to hear about this plan. I reached out to NYC Public Schools asking for help to address this matter more than 2 months ago and have yet to hear back…..

What we know about the six construction workers who fell to their death from Francis Scott Key Bridge:

They were 'hard-working, humble' men, dedicated to their spouses, children and families in their homelands in Latin America.

'This country, quite literally, has been built by waves of immigration,' Camilo Montoya-Galvez says, as the workers who died in the Baltimore bridge collapse were all immigrants.

'These jobs are essential, but they're also perilous...but many immigrants do them because they want to…

A healed person can love you and still never speak to you again.

Some really great news: this 💎 was accepted & is going to Bronx Science! I am so incredibly proud as she worked so hard for this, & everything she does. She & I are blessed with a lovely network of madrinas and padrinos who helped us here, and for that I am forever grateful.

Most of the missing workers presumed dead following the Baltimore bridge collapse are originally from 🇭🇳, 🇬🇹, 🇸🇻and 🇲🇽 — illustrating the dangers Hispanic workers face as they continue to be overrepresented in the construction industry.
