The reality is we may continue to cry, grieve, and seek rest in between, but we won’t let white supremacy win. We will continue to mobilize.

It’s been 100+ days since Roe was overturned. Per @Guttmacher:
• In 14 states no providers are offering abortions
• At least 66 clinics stopped offering abortions since 6/24
• 26 clinics have shut down
New York must lead. Let's pass the Reproductive Freedom + Equity Fund!

It is one thing to be upset at your elected representatives, it is another thing entirely to threaten their lives. The threats made to @tiffany_caban and her staff are unacceptable, and ultimately punish the constituents who do need help and can’t access the office.

Today, the Council will hear testimony on the bill with supermajority support to end solitary confinement in New York City once and for all.
Locking people away for weeks or months does not keep us safe. Torture by any name cannot stand, and this Council must lead the way.
NEW: Melania Brown, sister of the late Layleen Polanco, urges NYC to ban solitary confinement. "I promised my baby sister I would fight until my last breath to end solitary confinement and end the place where she took her last breath, and I will not stop." nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-o…
Equal pay now. On average, Black women will need to work until September 21 (today) to catch up to white men 🙄

.@RepMalliotakis does owe this district an explanation as to her NO vote. Reproductive rights needs to be protected at all cost. Shame on Malliotakis! @WoC4Progress @AmplifyHerNYC

Whether that’s the fault of @NYCMayor, DOE or the Council depends on who you ask, and it’s not entirely clear yet. But the system allows for a better flow of accurate information before votes are cast.

It would appear that there are downsides to rushing a budget deal that didn’t have to be done that early. Council members should be in full possession of information before voting on a $101B budget- arguably their biggest charter-mandated responsibility.
Yesterday, I stood with my colleagues under the leadership of @NYCSpeakerAdams, @RitaJosephNYC & @galeabrewer to call on the @NYCSchools to provide answers to the their proposed right sizing and the impact it will have on schools across the city. The @NYCCouncil (1/3)
