Childcare is expensive, in part bc workers also deserve a livable wage. It isn't possible (or smart) to deliver universal childcare on the backs of overworked/underpaid workers. We can and must tax the rich to make this vision a reality. nytimes.com/2026/08/03/nyreg…

Affordability agenda loading… The higher price tag is because childcare workers deserve a living wage. We will *not* sacrifice workers rights for affordable childcare. The demand of the working class is clear: #TaxtheRich & fund childcare! nytimes.com/2026/08/03/nyreg…

Our communities are increasingly paying the very real human toll of climate change—extreme heat, unbreathable air, flash flooding. We can't afford NOT to transition to clean energy.
The fossil fuel industry wants us to believe we have to choose between clean energy and affordable energy. Brooklyn just broke ground on a new battery storage facility that proves them wrong.

ICE has terrorized OUR streets for too long. I stand w/ the brave electeds who are calling on Schumer & Jeffries to abolish ICE. It's truly a disgrace that NO Harlem reps have signed on. Jordan, Yusef, Cordelle - show us that you'll fight for us‼️Sign on‼️
New York City signatories of the @CMShahanaHanif , @DianaforQueens, @JuliaCarmel__ letter aimed at Senator Schumer and Congressman Jeffries. Currently the letter is signed by 56% of City Council Democrats, 36% of Senate Democrats, and 28% of Assembly Democrats.

NYC-DSA believes Lina Khan is the right leader to stand up for working class New Yorkers on the EDC board. Khan is a visionary who is committed to reimagining the role of government as a tool to protect and serve regular people.

UPDATE: FEC filings show that Antonio Reynoso's super PAC, Real Fight NYC, was NOT funded by labor unions. The vast majority of funding was from dark money group Next NY. Only one union, AFT, contributed. At least $126,000 came from pro-Israel donors and pro-Israel NORPAC.
Real Fight NYC, the PAC that has gotten in behind Antonio Reynoso with undisclosed money, is funded by labor unions, particularly the AFT, a trusted source with direct knowledge tells me. There had been speculation that @AIPAC was possibly funding it, but that’s not right.

Would it kill @JeffCMays to mention that a @nycDSA member has represented Medgar Evers for the last 6 years? And that she happens to be a black CUNY grad and a lifelong Crown Heights resident? These takes are getting stale very quickly.

Progressives and Democrats may have stopped talking about climate change but socialists never did. NYC-DSA legislators have been winning more funding every year for publicly owned, union built renewable energy. The biggest obstacle is Kathy Hochul, a Democrat.
In February, @Gonzalez4NY and I organized a letter calling for new investments in NYPA to develop more publicly-owned renewable energy. I’m so proud we secured $100 million in this budget — a major step towards lowering utility bills and decarbonizing our state.

Freedom is only possible when we have the conditions for the good life — healthcare, housing, education, and dignity on the job. But the system is rigged and our planet poisoned by billionaires, bosses, and war profiteers. This 4th of July we recommit ourselves to remaking it. To fight for liberation from Palestine to Puerto Rico, for a Green New Deal, for the world we deserve.

New Yorkers are sweating through a fossil fueled heatwave and ConEd is shutting off the AC. Capitalism is the problem. ConEd is a corporation that puts its shareholders first. They charge us more, they get richer, and our grid falls apart. We need to take our power back.
We have temporarily shut off electric service to approximately 9,800 residential and commercial customers located in Southwest Queens due to equipment problems caused by extreme heat and heavy demand for power. Customers in Howard Beach, Ozone Park, Richmond Hill, and South Ozone Park may have had their service temporarily shut off to allow for quicker repairs and prevent extended and widespread outages. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, please call 911. For more info: spr.ly/6013BDfNjB

ConEd’s CEO made $20 million last year - a $5 million raise. More than 12% of your monthly payment goes straight to ConEd’s shareholders. But if ConEd shuts off your power in a heatwave, they won’t even discount your bill.

State Gov has the power to build a cleaner, cheaper, reliable grid. It’s a scandal that @GovKathyHochul has been sitting on it for years. We forced her to allocate $100M for public renewables this year. Give it to the city to build! @NYSERDA has a huge surplus. Spend it!
.@ConEdison has turned off power to some customers in parts of Riverdale in The Bronx to protect equipment & allow for quicker restoration of service. Report service loss: coned.com/ReportOutage or 1-800-75-CONED. Call 311 to find the nearest Cooling Center.

I’ll say the same thing I said when CHPE was being discussed several years ago: We should be building public renewable projects across the state instead of relying so heavily on Canadian hydro.
At the worst possible moment, the brand new Champlain-Hudson power line bringing hydro power from Quebec to NYC has shut off. That means we are running now on overwhelmingly carbon-emitting, expensive sources. Reminder of how far away we are from the resilient green grid we need.

As we celebrate this Fourth of July in the extreme heat, we must reflect on the progress we have made and the work we have left to do. The great American experiment cannot continue if we sell our country out to climate deniers, fossil fuel executives, and for-profit utilities.

War criminals shouldn’t be allowed to walk freely in NYC. As the Gaza genocide continues, Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir is visiting our city next week for a summit at the UN. He’s responsible for the torture of Palestinian detainees, the abuse of freedom flotilla peace activists including New Yorkers, the expansion of illegal settlements and promotion of settler violence, and openly espousing his genocidal intent to ethnically cleanse Palestine.  Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom have all placed sanctions and travel restrictions on him for his crimes against humanity. New York shouldn’t be a safe haven for him either. We’re calling on @NewYorkStateAG to meet with his victims, investigate, and prosecute. And we’ll be assembling by the UN on Tuesday at 4pm to make it clear: if genocidal war criminals come to our city, they’ll be greeted by people demanding justice.
