ICE is now changing tactics and arresting people who have been granted asylum hearings. This is both a violation of US & international law that demands immediate attention from all New York elected officials & underscores the urgent need for legal service providers to be at all of these cases.

100-degree days like today make the state's failure to pass the TEMP Act even more frustrating—especially with Trump rolling back protections on the federal level. If the state won't act, it's crucial the City propose laws for local safety standards. documentedny.com/2025/06/24/n...

All means ALL! Mayor Adams’ “universal” afterschool plan ignores the systemic transportation & funding barriers that shut thousands of students out. City & State leaders must take action now so that DOE can include afterschool service & dedicate funding for schools to close access gaps.

SCOTUS' decision to license discrimination will deny lifesaving treatment to some of the most vulnerable Americans. Trans kids deserve safety, care & affirmation. New Yorkers still have the right to gender affirming care & we will continue to protect that right here in NYC.

NYC’s public sector retirees contributed so much to this City, they should not be forced to accept inferior healthcare. As I've stated before, I am seriously concerned about the privatization of Medicare, overbilling by insurance companies & barriers to care under Medicare Advantage.

Calling in a fake emergency to avoid protesters is not only dangerous, it's highly illegal. Yet another waste of NYC's public resources under the watch of Mayor Adams to assist Donald Trump's secret police.

The budget for New York City, a city of immigrants, should reflect the crisis we're in. Luckily, we have leaders who will push back on Trump's authoritarianism and insist we do everything we can with the resources we have—including by expanding critical immigrant legal services.

One of the most disturbing aspects of Donald Trump's cruelty is the apprehension of people following the law and going to their court hearings as instructed. The fact they're doing this to students is even more deplorable and the Mayor's silence is complicity.

NYC's "universal" afterschool program continues to leave thousands of students with disabilities without bus service + more than 1/4 of the city’s D75 programs don’t have any afterschool. We MUST ensure all students have safe, accessible afterschool and receive their required services.
