Lydia Green

@lydiagreenbk.bsky.social

Running to represent District 52 in the NY State Assembly. Because every Brooklynite deserves a home & a sustainable future. Courage over caution. (She/her/זי)

My opponent, AM Simon, said she'd refuse special interest & corporate PAC money. Then, she accepted their checks anyway. Simon says one thing — but she does another. I won't take a penny from corporate lobbyists or PACs. Because that's been the problem in Albany for far too long.

First, a local task force approved the BMT blueprint: 6,000 new homes, 40% affordable. My opponent opposed it. Then, state funding was on the line. My opponent killed it. Now, there’s a clear choice: Will we build an affordable Brooklyn, or block it? www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

Key financing measure for Brooklyn waterfront overhaul left out of state budget

The multibillion-dollar proposal encountered opposition in the state Assembly.

Lydia was also a day-one supporter of Zohran and Brad Lander in the Mayoral primary and a Jewish activist for Palestinian rights Jo Anne Simon, the current assemblymember, refused to endorse Zohran and as usual drags her feet on any actual legislation that could help bsky.app/profile/did:...

I'm a proud Jewish New Yorker who wants to block the bombs and end the genocide. The NYS Assembly can help to block the flow of $$ to illegal Israeli settlements. My opponent, AM Simon, hasn't signed on to Not On Our Dime. I will. On Day One.

we have a primary in Brooklyn tomorrow, and if you live in AD52** you have a chance to vote for a real progressive who will support new housing instead of constantly being a behind-the-scenes stick in the mud **Carroll Gardens, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Dumbo, Downtown, Prospect Heights

I've seen too many friends & neighbors get priced out of Brooklyn & I've struggled to find an affordable apartment. Meanwhile, Assemblymember Simon has blocked new homes, making it worse. That's why I'm asking for your vote for Assembly:

AD 52 deserves an Assemblymember who shares our commitment to progressive change. I was proud to support Zohran & Brad in the June primary. My opponent, AM Simon, was silent on the danger of a Cuomo mayoralty. Now, we have a choice for Assembly. Courage over caution.

Happy Sunday, Father's Day, and final day of Early Voting. Counting today, we have 3 days left to shift the balance of state power in New York. Let us force Hochul to #TaxTheRich next year—and build the power to pass universal health care, child care, and housing—by winning most of these primaries.

At 16, I was diagnosed with cancer. It threw my life as a high schooler into chaos. When the worst happens, we should have a healthcare system we can count on, one that’s for people, not profit. I’m running to FINALLY #PassNYHealth & deliver universal healthcare!

Voter turnout in NYC is low, but those who *are* turning out want exactly what @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social says: courage, not caution. The time is unusually ripe for the Left to win many Dem primaries, including here in New York. Let us make the most of this precious opportunity over the next 6 days.

It's time to bring courage — not caution — to Albany, by electing representatives who will stand up for all of us, and I would be honored to have your vote. Early voting is underway through the 21st, and Election Day is June 23rd!

Brooklyn has gotten far too f***ing expensive. Why? Because of establishment politicians like my opponent, Jo Anne Simon. I'll always fight to build more homes, for social housing, and for tenants' rights. Courage over caution, and building over bluffing — always.

I voted for @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social for Assembly in district 52. Simon, the incumbent, has been generally fine. But I think Green would be more proactive in fighting for things that matter to me. And @abbystein.bsky.social & @bdlimm.myatproto.social are for Green! bsky.app/profile/bdli...

[AD-52] Lydia Green. @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social is endorsed by • @runforsomething.net@opeiulocal153.bsky.social —and climate organizers (incl. @petesikora.bsky.social) + rabbis (incl. Abby Stein) whose judgment many of us trust. To do a shift: lydia-green-for-brooklyn.solidarity.tech/volunteer

Screenshot of the "About Lydia" section of her campaign site. On the left, in a cut-out shaped playfully perhaps like a flower or cloud, is a photo of Lydia (a young, white woman with medium-length, curly dark brown hair). On the right is the following text:

My name is Lydia Green, and I am a Democratic District Leader, progressive organizer, proud union member, tenant, NYC public school graduate, and queer Jewish New Yorker. I'm running for State Assembly in District 52 because Brooklyn is my home, and has been my family's home for generations, but it has become too expensive to live here. I refuse to remain passive on legislation that will save lives, protect immigrants, defend workers, and make my neighbors' lives easier. I was taught from an early age that my primary obligation does not lie within myself, but within my community.

I cannot help but fight for my home, and I am unbelievably grateful that thousands of members of my community have already trusted me to advocate on their behalf as District Leader. As an Assembly Member, I am ready to organize tirelessly to tax the rich, build affordable homes, protect us from the climate crisis, and pass every piece of progressive legislation that has languished for years in committee. We need a true activist in this seat - someone who won't have political capital as their primary concern, but ensuring that Brooklyn is affordable and equitable enough for everyone and anyone to build a life here.

Friends, today is the 3rd day of Early Voting. Counting today, we have 9 days left to shift the balance of statewide power in New York. Winning these primaries are how we'll get the governing power to #TaxTheRich, address climate change, and make housing, health care, + child care universal rights.

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.
