This makes me absolutely furious. The inhuman treatment of unhoused adults is one thing but it’s even worse for our unhoused youth. #NYC you can do better!!!

As the chair of youth services young people being forced to stay awake and not being allowed to rest comfortable is unacceptable. We need to figure out solutions to this crisis expeditiously. thecity.nyc/2023/2/9/2359342…

We should all celebrate the release of Brittney Griner. We should also all call for release of the thousands of folk incarcerated on possession of small amounts of drugs here in the United States.

Studies have shown fewer evictions make neighborhoods safer.
Backing #GoodCause and #HAVP would also help Hochul push back on her conservative opponents’ claims of a crime wave in New York.
If we truly want to keep New York safe, we can start by keeping people in their homes.
Rather than simply defining herself as a better alternative to right-wing extremists, @GovKathyHochul has the chance to build a proactive agenda that works for working families - starting with working class tenants.
