In June my husband’s drawings are getting published in @nytimes.com. He’s also drawn portraits of me, him, and our cats. We are a half Iranian family based in LA. June has been a difficult month for LA, Iran, and our family. Flipping through pages of NYT has been a mixed bag of emotions.

A portrait of a cat laying down on a newspaper. She seems to have ripped off parts of the newspaper as there are little pieces of the newspaper scattered around in front of her.A portrait of a man with glasses and Airpods. There is a cylinder shaped newspaper pointed towards his left ear.A portrait of a woman with curvy ear length hair reading a newspaper A side profile of a woman reading a newspaper. On her left there are two cats both of whom are looking in the direction of the viewer.

Throughout the month of June, my husband’s drawings will be printed in New York Times. It will mainly be a collection of portraits with a newspaper. Stay tuned for more!!! I am so excited about this. It was not that easy to find print copies of NYT in LA but we managed.

Two-thirds of NYers support city-owned grocery stores. Three-fourths support free buses. Nearly 80% support a rent-freeze. I'm running for mayor to deliver these exact policies. Our campaign is surging because unlike Andrew Cuomo, we know what working people need and deserve.

Immigrants have also been at the forefront of the US labor movement. Check out the 1912 Lawrence textile strike ("Bread and Roses Strike") and 1982 garment workers' strike (done by Chinatown workers). I support garment workers *and* immigrants because they're often one and the same.

A photo of the 1912 Lawrence textile strike, where people from 51 different nationalities, most of them immigrants, banded together to demand better wages. A photo of the 1982 garment workers' strike in NYC Chinatown. A bunch of women are gathered together holding placards that say things like "In Union There is Strength." They were also demanding better wages.

Monday evening we drew hundreds of trans NYers and allies to deliver 10,000 letters demanding NYU Langone resume care for trans youth. They refused to hear us. Now we call on our elected officials to force NY hospitals to resume care. Tell your reps to act! actionnetwork.org/letters/new-...
