Last year, UT Republican Ray Ward led the nation when he introduced and passed a balcony solar bill—unanimously!
It kicked off a storm, with 10 other states passing similar bills in the last year, including NY. Now we’re just waiting on the Gov to sign it. 👀

So proud to stand with these incredible organizers and leaders today to say no to genocide, no to war mongering, no to imperialism.
Our tax dollars are funding these wars while our neighbors lose healthcare.
We must fight the war machine like our lives depend on it. They do.

When Netanyahu and his war criminal entourage come to our city, I have an obligation to say hell no to genocide.
And I’m not alone. People of conscious are outside.

Loved meeting London Deputy Mayor @metecoban92 at Climate Week!
The UK just rolled out plug-in solar for the same reason we passed it here in NY—to reduce utility bills, lower emissions, and take pressure off the grid.
All 👀s on the Gov now as we wait for her to sign it.

“The flag should say: Don’t tread on me.*
*unless you’re an oil company, or a pesticide company, or a pharmaceutical company.”
~the wise @brotherjones_ on how the South is a testing ground for fascist policy that protects companies over human health.

Great to talk about the future of taxis—including how we can ensure workers are at the center of road design, technology adoption, and workforce development—with TLC Commissioner Midori Valdivia!

Fun talking housing with my faves at the @Met_Council on Saturday. When tenants organize alongside elected officials (who are also tenants), we can win housing justice!

Around the world, people are sick of being told they can't have housing, healthcare, or education, that state money will be spent on war and surveillance instead.
The global left is growing and we are here to stay.
On Sunday, Germany’s socialist party Die Linke won the Berlin elections for the first time.
Like New York’s Zohran Mamdani, it beat the establishment parties by offering Berliners concrete action on rents and the cost of living. jacobin.com/2026/09/berlin-d…

No way I’d rather kick off Climate Week than with these public power experts strategizing about how we can take over utilities to give New Yorkers the clean, affordable renewable energy they deserve. 🌹⚡️

News of the fire and explosion at 5th and Bedford yesterday, which injured multiple firefighters, is horrifying.
I am deeply grateful to our first responders and am following this closely while details continue to emerge. amny.com/news/fire-williamsb…

Robert Brooks was supposed to be released this year. Instead, he was brutally murdered by corrections officers and never made it home.
Mr. Brooks should still be alive today. We are still fighting to pass sentencing and parole reform to honor his memory. timesunion.com/capitol/artic…

Tomorrow — join me and some of my favorite housing leaders!
Spend the day with tenants, organizers, and community as we come together to discuss the issues affecting our communities and build the future of our movement.
The meeting is open to all — bring your questions, ideas, and anyone who wants to help fight for housing justice.

Our government finds billions to subsidize oil and gas, endless wars, and mass incarceration, while so many people struggle to make basic ends meet.
Guaranteed income dramatically improves outcomes for people and communities. I'm proud to join the caucus that's fighting for it.
Welcome to Legislators for a Guaranteed Income, @EmilyAssembly!
Thank you for your leadership in New York advocating for economic security for all.

The need for climate action is urgent. The response we’re seeing from many of our leaders is not.
This Sunday—join us to talk about the fight to transition our energy system, build public renewables, and put power back in the hands of the people.

Improving climate resiliency and protecting New Yorkers during extreme heat will take all kinds of creative solutions, big and small.
Our city can and should be a testing lab to see what works. I love seeing solutions like this come to life!
Could new bus shelter roofs help New Yorkers stay cool in extreme heat?
We're testing a few in Brownsville to find out: a green roof covered with native plants, and reflective roofs covered with low-cost, heat-resilient film.
When it comes to climate change, we're using every tool at our disposal — including everyday infrastructure — to keep New Yorkers safe.
