After ICE shot a man in a car with his 5 year old son inside, I rallied alongside thousands of New Yorkers to demand that ICE be held accountable and keep their #HandsOffNYC. ICE’s violence has no place in our communities.

The reported shooting by federal agents of a man in a car with a 5 year old is horrifying. That is not public safety, it is an agency that is out of control and putting our families at risk. ICE must be held accountable. Their violence has no place in New York. #ICEOUT

I joined @UJAfedNY at the Museum of Jewish Heritage to remember those lost on October 7th, stand w/ survivors, & recognize the community’s commitment to bringing the hostages home. As we remember, we recognize the ongoing pain for our Jewish community & pray for lasting peace.

Intoxication is not consent! The horrific story emerging from Cornell shows us exactly why NY should pass A.101/S.10632 and strengthen our laws to protect sexual assault survivors.

If you are too intoxicated to consent, there is no consent. Jane Doe’s case exposed NY’s dangerous voluntary intoxication loophole. W/ @JefferyDinowitz , @senfernandez34 & advocates, we called to end this loophole & make clear— survivors are never to blame for sexual assault.

I was grateful to share a delicious Rosh Hashanah meal with community members at @MannyCantorNYC. It’s always great to connect with seniors in our community —and it’s even better to do it over apples and honey.

I keep hearing from families in Lower Manhattan who can’t keep up with their energy bills. Grateful to @GovKathyHochul for putting money in families pockets & making sure more households access relief. I encourage every eligible NYer to visit ny.gov/eap to enroll!

Clean drinking water is a basic human right. After Trump rolled back PFAS protections, I passed legislation setting strict limits in NY. Now I urge Gov. Hochul to sign it. We must take action to protect drinking water for millions of NYers. @greenwatchdogNY @PatCarrollNY

25 years after 9/11 we’ve lost more members of @FDNY to related illnesses than on the tragic day itself. I’m proud to have secured funding @EinsteinMed for life-saving cancer genomics research for 9/11 first responders to ensure our heroes get the care they deserve.

TY to @nyuniversity & President Mills for bringing us together to plant this tree in remembrance of 9/11. 25 years ago, I watched smoke rise from the WTC from my dorm. Today, this tree honors all those we lost and symbolizes the strength and resilience of our growing community.

Gathered alongside the American Legion Lt. B.R. Kimlau Memorial Post 1291 to remember the victims of 9/11, our first-responders who answered the call, community members still impacted, and the service men and women who havething made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

I joined @FDNY to honor our heroes who rushed into danger, many of whom paid the ultimate price. 25 years later, more have died of 9/11 illnesses than on that day. As we reflect on this tragedy, we reaffirm our commitment to standing with our first responders and their families.

Joined @CommunityBoard1 at the survivor tree for a moment to reflect on those we’ve lost—and stood together in support of those still carrying its lasting consequences. Like the tree itself, our community continues to endure, grow, and find strength in one another.

Twenty-five years later, 9/11 is history to a new generation. But for those in Lower Manhattan, the loss and ongoing health impacts remain painfully real. We gather to share stories, honor those we lost, and stand with those still suffering. #NeverForget
