New Yorkers of color are not trying to return to the Giuliani era

The City’s Project Home program is an important step towards supporting survivors of domestic and gender-based violence, but it must be paired with a commitment to fully funding housing microgrants and building new supportive housing in the city budget.

Massive faculty walkout at Columbia University opposing the university’s decision to call in NYPD on Palestine solidarity protests:

🚨 NEW: Progressive Caucus releases statement in solidarity with Columbia students calling for a lasting ceasefire and condemning antisemitic acts over the weekend from protestors seemingly unassociated with the student encampment.

.Barnard College student government association executive board put out an official statement condemning the administration’s suspension and eviction of 50+ students:

Since Oct, I've called for a permanent ceasefire to allow for the release of hostages, deliver humanitarian aid to those in need, & end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

That is why I opposed HR 8034, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act.

Read my statement below:

Councilmembers Shahana Hanif 🦾, Alexa Avilés, Sandy Nurse, and Tiffany Cabán have arrived at Columbia University where the Gaza Solidarity Encampment is well into its fourth day.

New York City Council Members Shahana Hanif 🦾, Sandy Nurse, Alexa Avilés, and Tiffany Cabán raise the liberation solidarity fist with Columbia University students at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment.

Chevron paid attorney Randy Mastro millions to illegally detain me for 3 years and garnish my life savings after I helped Amazon communities win the $10b Ecuador pollution case. He's a modern-day gangster masquerading as a lawyer.

City council: vote him down.⬇️

Let’s goooooo!!

Big shout out to everyone in Albany who has fought for #SammysLaw , a key piece of vital public safety infrastructure!

I was honored to stand with my colleagues against the proliferation of hate content online.

Especially since the world’s richest man took over this platform and turned it into a breeding ground for neo-Nazis, queer, Jewish, Muslim, and other targeted NYers have become less safe.

Here are ten of New York City mayor Eric Adams’s worst policies, scandals, and lies. It was hard to narrow it down.

Suspending & arresting Columbia University/Barnard College student activists & disbanding student orgs — including Jewish students & orgs — doesn’t combat antisemitism or increase safety.

All it does is punish and intimidate those who believe in human rights for Palestinians. Shameful.

No way in hell I vote to confirm Randy Mastro. Thank you, next. politico.com/news/2024/04/1…

“New Yorkers did not elect the most progressive, diverse Democratic supermajority in Council history to rubber stamp a return to the Giuliani era,” progressive Council Member Tiffany Cabán , a lawyer, told @POLITICO politi.co/49GAMNO

“I am Tiffany Caban, City Council Member of D22, but more importantly I am a Queer Brown person with a mental health diagnosis” - Tiffany Cabán. #KawaskiTrawick was a 33-year-old Black Queer New Yorker who was killed by NYPD officers while in a mental health crisis.

🚨Edward A. Caban’s decision to shield the officers who murdered Kawaski Trawick from any consequences whatsoever is shameful, and releasing that decision at 5PM last Friday is a mark of absolute cowardice.

My statement along with my LGBTQIA+ caucus co-Chair Erik Bottcher:

It didn't have to be this way.
