Running for State Assembly to return power to the people. Ben Yee is a lifelong resident & State Committeeman ready to beat the establishment for AD66

6 years ago I was organizing in the Bronx to help people understand how being involved can make a difference. I'd say it worked, but there's always more to do! AOC had come to one of the Real Politics 101 workshops, it was wonderful to have her create organizing spaces to host more events like that

People complaining about the city spending money to reopen after a blizzard have it wrong. The economic output created by reopening New York within a day is in the billions. Usually, this place is hobbled by snow for a week. Not this time, and that benefits everyone.

From Albany this morning to the West Village tonight. This is the Community Precinct Council (CPC). It’s a forum for the public to engage with police. Tonight the Special Narcotics Prosecutor, Bridget Brennan is answering questions. Happily, fentanyl coming into NYC is down 🔥

A succesful trip to Albany, it was great riding with PSC CUNY. Education, childcare, transportation, healthcare, there are so many things that are daily necessities that feel like luxuries. If a billionaire can spend $44.6M on a dinosaur skeleton (true story) they can afford a to give back a little

Headed to Albany to Tax The Rich. Trump gave people making $1M+ a $12B cut as has illegally slashed funding to NY projects. We’re fighting to make sure the most fortunate pay their fair share and everyone in New York has a life with opportunity and dignity. @ourtimeforfornyc @psc_cuny

Off to Syracuse for the Democratic State Convention. State Committee Members like myself are elected to represent Democratic Primary voters at events like these. This Friday we’ll be voting whether to “designate” candidates for Gov, Lt. Gov, Attorney General and Comptroller. 🧵

Disgusting and terrifying that Trump is trying to turn public institutions into his campaign tools. This is extremely illegal. Especially (but not limited to) demonizing the opposition party by name. Completely un-American. Impeachable in normal world.
