    Yesterday, I introduced a new bill to regulate last-mile & heavy distribution warehouses that are rapidly taking over working-class communities of color around New York State. These facilities are cited "as-of-right" & currently require no input or review🧵
    A bill introduced Monday by Assemblymember Marcela Mitaynes (D-Brooklyn) is looking to limit...

    I‘m a working class, indigenous Peruvian mother + tenant organizer. Before 2018, running for office was unthinkable for me. The movement led by @AOC and @BernieSanders inspired me. Together we‘re building a government that puts people over profit. Honored for this endorsement.

    WE WON!🌹 Together, we’re building a movement. I’m humbled by the thousand working class people that built + ran this campaign. Despite the challenges of campaigning during a pandemic, we showed the political establishment that we’re organized + ready to fight for a better world

    We defeated the Asst. Speaker of the state assembly, a 26-year incumbent! Are you ready to organize with me in Albany? I look forward to using the resources of my office to organize alongside workers in their struggles in the workplace + for a govt that puts people over profit

    If you're one of the more than two million New Yorkers in rent-stabilized apartments, I will freeze your rent. And we will build 200,000 new affordable homes, crack down on bad landlords, and lower costs for working and middle class homeowners.

    A union victory today in Staten Island would be historic for the whole world. It would prove that ordinary working-class people can organize and fight against one of the globe's largest companies... and WIN. Our collective struggle is being tested today.

    You can watch Andrew Cuomo’s 17 minute video or you can spend <2 minutes and hear everything you need to. Cuomo cut Medicaid. He lied about pandemic deaths for a book deal. He handed tax breaks to the wealthy. He bullied survivors of sexual assault. #DontRankCuomo

    Andrew Cuomo is running for Eric Adams’ second term: the same donors, the same agenda, the same chaos. But I believe New Yorkers are hungry for a different kind of politics—one that puts working people first.

    I was one of the people trapped on the #ManhattanBridge yesterday. The NYPD kettled 5K people on a bridge for 2 hours during a pandemic. I was preparing to be arrested, somehow we all made it off okay. This is why we need to #DefundThePolice and demand that #deblasioResign

    I never in my life would‘ve thought I- an indigenous Peruvian working class immigrant- would have been able to win an election like this. I’m honored and humbled by the support of every volunteer + voter. Together, we’ll continue to organize and build power for the working class

    This is heartbreaking. People are trying to make money to pay their bills.

    Cuomo was a disaster for working class communities like mine. He raided MTA funds and let the subways crumble, closed hospitals, cut mental healthcare and totally mismanaged the pandemic. We need to keep him as far from City Hall as possible.
