Nikki is currently waiting to be released from the 1st Precinct w/ supporters there on-site. It’s clear that using an unmarked van and plainclothes officers to make an arrest for vandalism (in the middle of a peaceful protest) is a massive overstep. I'm exploring legislation.

I have the distinct honor of representing Little Ukraine, a vibrant and resilient community with generations of history in the East Village. My heart is with them, and with all who have family, friends, and loved ones in Ukraine. 🇺🇦

We can’t ignore the dire threat vehicle congestion imposes on our City’s public health. For this reason (+ many others), I support the Central Business District Tolling Program. It’s time for drastic change to keep our communities safe and #congestionpricing is where we start ⬇️

When you shut down public transportation - before a curfew even starts no less - you're saying that essential workers don't matter in a crisis.

With this housing victory in Philly, 50 vacant city-owned properties will be transferred into a community land trust for permanent housing for very low-income families. This is why supporting + funding organizing is so important.

When I wrote the bill for emergency Open Streets last year, New Yorkers' need for open space was urgent & undeniable. A year later, the positive impact the program has on our communities couldn't be clearer, so there's no question: It's time we make #OpenStreetsNYC permanent.

Announced today: NYPD will no longer enforce street vendors. The relentless organizing at @VendorPower is responsible for this significant policy change. I'm proud to know the organizers who fight for immigrant NYers (and have joined in coalition w/ @RidersAlliance many times!).

Open Streets are safe spaces for New Yorkers to socialize. @NYCMayor taking away more streets than he is adding is not going to improve the program and reverses progress towards a safe + equitable city. We need more #OpenStreetsNYC , not less.

Solitary confinement is a cruel, inhumane practice and an ugly scar on our City. At our hearing last year, DOC claimed punitive segregation wasn't solitary confinement. That's a lie. A change in name is not a change in practice. We must #HaltSolitary . We cannot go backwards.

At our @NYCCouncil hearing on banning solitary confinement, DOC showed exactly why we can't wait to take action. They declined to answer numerous questions and claimed NYC no longer uses solitary confinement (that's false). It's unacceptable.

Let’s be clear - Donald Trump has never known what it’s like to struggle, let alone for food, but he has no problem stripping protections for those who do. Luckily we have allies like @TishJames who will lead the legal fights against these unfair and immoral attacks on the poor.

This show of force by the police - which did not result in an arrest - comes just 10 days after the arrest of Nikki Stone by plainclothes officers. The NYPD must explain themselves to @CCRB_NYC , @TishJames , and @NYCCouncil .

A locked down block in Midtown. Dozens of officers. Two dozen NYPD vehicles. Riot gear. Police dogs. A helicopter. The tremendous show of force renewed questions about how the NYPD is dealing with racial justice protests and those who participate in them.

Numerous NYers were pepper sprayed in the face just last month at protests in NYC. We need to act and ban the use of all chemical and other “less lethal” weapons by police forces, whether that’s at the City or State level. (S/O to @jessicaramos for her bill to do this ✊🏽!)

So many essential workers rely on bikes as a way to get to work while practicing social distancing. It's not enough to say that we care for them, we need to protect them by making our streets safer. My heart goes out to Clara's family and the Sunset Park community.
