My remarks on the budget:

NO NEW COPS

“I am proud to have worked closely with the Mayor and public safety advocates to ensure there was no increase to the NYPD’s headcount in this budget. Every dollar we spend on policing and incarceration means money we can’t spend on housing, mental health care, substance use treatment, and economic stability: the proven policies that actually keep our communities healthy and safe. This budget is an important check on the failed policy of broken windows policing and will allow us to build a public safety infrastructure rooted in care, not punishment and incarceration. And we will keep building on it.”

My statement on today’s Supreme Court decision allowing the Trump administration to revoke Temporary Protected Status for over one million immigrant neighbors.

“Today’s Supreme Court decision is cruel and unjust, putting in danger the lives of migrants who fled violence, persecution, and disease. As a lawyer, I know the law is a tool and right now it’s being wielded by racist, xenophobic bigots. The law is not justice, not safety, not ethics. It is not immutable. We must fight back to protect our immigrant neighbors.”

Four years ago, I stood here to announce my support for building in Hallets Point hundreds of units of affordable and mixed income housing to tackle the housing and affordability crisis in our city.

Leaders @cmsandynurse.bsky.social @tiffanycaban.bsky.social @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social + Kayla Santosuosso issue the following statement in regard to the release of Mayor Mamdani’s FY27 Executive Budget:

Caucus leaders Sandy Nurse, Tiffany Cabán, Alexa Avilés, and Kayla Santosuosso issue the following statement in regard to the release of Mayor Mamdani’s FY27 Executive Budget:

“We’re grateful to see the Mayor’s Executive Budget appears to maintain many of the crucial services that New Yorkers rely on every day. Among the many announcements, we appreciate the inclusion of an additional $26 million for the Office to Combat Hate, $20.5 million to implement the Street Vendor Reform Package, the baselining of $25 million for Promise NYC, and cuts to both wasteful vacancies at the Department of Corrections and bloated contracts.

For years, our members have stood determined to ensure that working New Yorkers do not bear the brunt of any budget deficit and we will continue to hold firm on this core belief. Negotiations aren’t over yet. There’s much more to be done to bolster CityFHEPS, NYCHA Vacant Unit Readiness, and other vital services. Our Caucus plans to unveil formal priorities ahead of Executive Budget hearings over this next month.”

Hell Gate *subscribe today!*@hellgatenyc.com · 4mo ago

It’s disturbing to know these land sale events are happening in NYC; at least one of the cities advertised on the events site as a place where people can buy land is an illegal West Bank settlement. 1/

A Manhattan synagogue is hosting an event promising the sale of land in the West Bank this evening, for the first time since City Council passed a bill intended to limit protests near houses of worship. Mayor Mamdani's spokesperson told Hell Gate the mayor is opposed to the sale.

It’s extremely upsetting that our Jewish neighbors were targeted in this way. Antisemitism is never acceptable.

Police are searching for at least four individuals responsible for ‘terrifying signals of hatred and threats of violence’

I am thankful the mayor has vetoed this ill-conceived bill that would further enable efforts to criminalize protests and stifle freedom of speech. 1/

BREAKING: Mayor Mamdani vetoed Intro 175-B, an anti-speech "buffer zone" bill that would endanger our right to speak out, and increase the odds that going to school, a library, or even a hospital leads to an encounter with police. We applaud the mayor for taking free speech seriously.

Response to the City Council’s Preliminary Budget by City Socialists in Office with @cmalexaaviles.bsky.social, @chiosse.bsky.social, and @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social

Graphic with Council Member logos and title: Response to the City Council’s Preliminary Budget by the City Socialists in Office, Council Members Tiffany Cabán, Chi Ossé, Alexa Avilés, and Shahana Hanif

To bring our vision for a just New York for all to fruition, the wealthiest New Yorkers and corporations must pay what they owe. We continue to demand that the Governor listen to New Yorkers and Tax the Rich.

Our goal is to achieve a budget that supports working-class New Yorkers and does not cut the services they rely on. We appreciate that the Council budget seeks creative solutions to closing the budget deficit. We are also encouraged that the Mayor and Speaker are both working towards a balanced budget that maintains essential programs for New Yorkers.

As we enter the next phase of budget negotiations, we look forward to working with the Speaker and Mayor towards a budget that delivers a more affordable, liveable, and safe city for all New Yorkers.

Wishing everyone celebrating today Chag Pesach Sameach! This holiday prompts all of us to recommit to pursuing liberation and justice. May you celebrate this holiday of freedom with loved ones, rest, and delicious food.

This Trans Day of Visibility, I’m celebrating trans New Yorkers as they continue to exist, resist, and find joy as those in power try to push them further into the margins and strip away their basic rights.

Jews For Racial & Economic Justice Action @jfrejnyc.bsky.social · 5mo ago

New Yorkers deserve solutions that meaningfully address hate violence — not political theater & half-measures. Instead of voting to pass unserious & anti-democratic “buffer zone” bills, @council.nyc.gov should invest $26-30 million in evidence-based non-carceral hate violence prevention. Read why:

Ending violence, not buffer zones, protects Jews

New York’s Jewish community faces two very different visions of safety.
