Proud to be the pro-choice Democrat for AD38 endorsed by @ppesacts.bsky.social! New York must remain strong in our protections of reproductive rights and gender equity. In the Assembly, I always will stand up for our healthcare, privacy, and civil liberties, and stand up to the Trump admin.

Solidarity with my UAW siblings at @ndsunion who demanded and won healthcare and COLA increases in their TA! As a UAW immigrant workers' rights attorney, I know fair contracts are critical to meeting the urgent needs of public defenders, social workers, and their clients alike. /1

No Cuts to Queens College! CUNY is the pride of our public education system. As a proud CUNY grad, former PSC union member, and future Queens Assemblymember, I will fight to tax the rich and end austerity budgets so that students, staff, and faculty can thrive.
