The @NYCMayor ’s November Plan cut community composting. Thankfully, a philanthropic donor chipped in to keep 65 @GrowNYC workers on the job. Yet, 50+ workers will still be laid off and big compost sites will close by January. My statement with @NYCSpeakerAdams & @JustinBrannan

Right now, there are workers and families choosing between paying rent or buying groceries. They’re stuck between getting medical help or paying utilities. In a state with over 100 billionaires, we can and must do better by New York workers. It’s time for $21.25/hr!

Tonight I testified in support of @NYCHealthSystem and @nynurses fighting for a fair contract, safe staffing and pay parity. With so much wealth in NYS, it’s immoral not to ensure a strong, high quality public health system, and that starts with supporting our frontline workers.

Thank you to @CityAndStateNY for recognizing our advocacy to #GetSanitationDone ! Not only do I want mandatory composting, the @NYCCouncil wants a full restoration and expansion of @NYCSanitation ’s budget, and upfront investments in #zerowaste infrastructure for Zero Waste by 2030

3/ NYC doesn’t have a citywide plan to maintain or increase the number of public toilets. Let’s fix that! Let’s cut the bureaucratic red tape for siting and construction, and reduce costs across the board.

I'm proud to be amongst 50 elected officials standing with the family of Kawaski Trawick & @watchthecops to call on @NYCMayor & @NYPDPC to prevent last-minute changes by NYPD to misconduct charges against Officers Thompson & Davis. The Trawick family & NYers deserve fairness.

Allowing the jail population to grow beyond the borough-based jails target was a choice made by the Adams administration. Cutting programs that get and keep people out of Rikers, not getting detainees to court on time, and many more avoidable blunders is the reason we are here.

scoop: The new jails in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan & the Bronx that are replacing Rikers are GROWING in capacity. NYC has too many people to incarcerate, so they're cutting space for detainees with mental illness while tripling the # of beds for women.
