This afternoon we said goodbye to my grandmother, Francisca Gonzalez - Pancha to her friends, Abuela to me. She was the most kind-hearted person I’ve ever encountered. Nothing hurt her more than feeling unable to help another. /1

Prices are soaring, but minimum wage is stuck where it was before the pandemic even started. Thats why I am partnering with @1199SEIU , @CnDelarosa , and over 30 of my fellow council members to support @jessicaramos & @JoinJoyner ’s plan to raise the min. wage in NYC to $21.25.

Get ready to watch @KathyHochul teach @leezeldin what it means to lead with courage, compassion, and sheer competence at tonight’s #NYGovDebate . A vote for Governor Hochul is our best chance to protect our rights, keep our neighborhoods safe, and invest in the future.

We need Attorney General @TishJames to file an injunction to halt these practices immediately, as it burdens the fundamental right to vote. Tish has been a vocal and battle-tested champion time and time again, and I know she will stand up for New Yorkers again on this issue.

I asked @MadisonDawk to be my campaign manager almost immediately after meeting her. Equal parts grace and competitor, Madison brought discipline to a campaign that previously existed only as a vision. Madison was not out to win a campaign: she was building a foundation.

Had a great talk with Senator @chuckschumer this morning at one of my favorite local coffee spots in Manhattan Valley. We touched on public housing infrastructure, flood resiliency, ADA accessible transportation, and more. I know our Senator will get the job done.

This is the result of years of disinvestment in our infrastructure. It is absolutely unacceptable that New Yorkers are wading in toxic water to access transportation. We need unprecedented investment from the state and federal government to prepare for what’s ahead.

I’m very disappointed in this haphazard return to in-person work for city workers. I hope @NYCMayor follows @KathyHochul ’s lead and pushes Monday’s start date back. We need a workforce plan that recognizes the value—and inevitability—of remote work.

Before Henry Kissinger died, he was America’s most famous (infamous?) diplomat. But before that, he was a kid growing up in Washington Heights. Just like Manny Ramirez, Harry Belafonte, and me: he attended George Washington High School in Upper Manhattan. 1/

Imagine running to be mayor of NYC and having a problem with people who have accents. I love @ydanis ’ accent. It reminds me of everything that we gain when we welcome immigrants and give them a chance to lead.

To be clear, I became an U.S citizen in 2000 and have been voting ever since. This was completely offensive to all immigrant New Yorkers who live in NYC but were born and raised in another country. Curtis should not assume that just because I have a strong accent, Dominican…

So grateful to @EspaillatNY for encouraging me to go to law school. There’s a lot you can learn about public service and how to protect people from a legal system that wasn’t built for them. Thank you, @TulaneLaw , for this feature.

Low-income New Yorkers have a right to a free lawyer in any eviction proceeding. But legal providers are understaffed, underfunded, and burdened with unethically large caseloads. Cases are moving too fast for tenants to lawyer up. Me and @DianaAyalaNYC :
