NOW: CM Shekar Krishnan, Speaker Julie Menin , KAFSC, Althea Stevens, & Tiffany Cabán are holding social media ceos accountable for what they are doing to our youth.
Yesterday, I stood with my New York City Council colleagues to address the growing impact of social media on young people and the urgent need to better protect children online. Protecting children’s safety and future must come before profit.
I spoke at a Citizens Union forum today about who is profiting off of our city. From the billionaires that own Uber and Lyft to billionaire tech CEOs like Elon Musk, as the New York City Council Oversight & Investigations Chair, we will hold them accountable for exploiting New Yorkers.
As the first Indian American elected to New York City Council, I know how important representation is. It’s how we finally passed job protections for immigrant app drivers & street vendors. Today’s decision weakens the Voting Rights Act & equal access to the ballot for our communities.
INTs 260-A & 693-A, and Res 273-A & 425, sponsored by Council Members Council Member Shekar Krishnan, Council Member Eric Dinowitz, and Lynn Schulman 舒曼琳, expand public education on the importance of vaccinations, combatting misinformation through the distribution of informational materials to public school families.
NYC isn’t waiting on Washington. 💉🗽 via amNewYork™: “If it were up to the federal government, we’d all be sick, we’d all be unhealthy, and some people would die as a result of that” said Lynn Schulman 舒曼琳 yesterday at presser on combating vax misinformation amny.com/lifestyle/city…

Elmhurst is a historic, vibrant, and diverse immigrant community— but our transit system doesn’t reflect that. Today I joined Grace Meng and community members to urge the MTA to reopen the LIRR station in Elmhurst.
“The federal government is dismantling our health care, from making it expensive to see your doctors, gutting public health institutions, and spreading misinformation on vaccines,” said Councilman Shekar Krishnan. qchron.com/editions/queen… via Stephanie Meditz
