Big thanks to @umaw.bsky.social for their tireless organizing to get this across the finish line. Passing the Living Wage for Musicians Act at the federal level is key to making NYC more affordable for working musicians—to live, create, and thrive in the music capital of the world.

I was proud to vote YES on @tiffanycaban.bsky.social R.E.C.E.I.P.T.S. Act—a big step toward transparency at @NYCHRA and the Dept. of Social Services. This law helps ensure every New Yorker seeking support gets the dignity, respect, and quality service they deserve.

I joined Los Deliveristas Unidos to demand an end to Mayor Adams’ policy of criminalizing cyclists with summonses for minor violations. We need real street safety solutions—not e-bike prosecutions. This crackdown hurts working New Yorkers and does nothing to make our streets safer.

May is also Lupus Awareness Month in NYC, thanks to a resolution I passed in 2023. My own journey with Lupus drives my fight for a more compassionate and accessible city. I hope the stories shared this month inspire greater awareness, research, and care for all Lupus warriors. 💜
