So many mutual aid requests coming out of Gaza. People are desperate for food, medicine, water. If you can’t donate, the least you can do is share.

Literally ethnic cleansing.

Please donate and share, share, share! Thank you so much.

When this family doesn’t get donations, our friend goes to the aid death traps. He’s almost died NUMEROUS times. Please help. We need to make this TINY goal by morning so the host can send the next batch of funds for this family to eat🚨 Last check 65/285–I’m asleep but the goal is on the page!

MORE CONCILIATORY THAN PREVIOUS AUTHORITARIANS, WILL NEW YORK SEE A NEW DAY DAWNING?: “Zohran supports an end to mayoral control and envisions a system instead in which parents, students, educators and administrators work together,”  www.chalkbeat.org/newyork/2025...

Zohran Mamdani’s big education idea? Don’t give the mayor control of NYC schools.

“Not too many politicians have been in the business of giving power away,” one education expert said.

UFT delegates voted to endorse Mamdani because they believe he is the best candidate in the race to advance our union’s agenda: to protect our premium-free health care, fix Tier 6, pass the “RESPECT check” bill, implement the class size law, revamp mayoral control and more.

“I will be proud to work with the union to fully fund our public schools, to ensure that every dollar we win — be it in City Hall or in Albany — for the purpose of education is actually going into our classrooms,” said @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social at our press conference on the UFT endorsement. 👏👏

We entrust our city's future to the nearly 200,000 teachers, paraprofessionals, counselors and more of the UFT. Now more than ever, they need a mayor who recognizes their value and has their backs. I am honored to earn their endorsement.
