BREAKING: nearly 5mos after NYPD Deputy Commissioner found Lt. Rivera guilty for killing #AllanFeliz & recommended he be fired, Commissioner Tisch shamefully reverses course. Today she announced her preliminary decision to dismiss charges against Rivera -- without regard to city procedure.

I am appalled by the Rent Guidelines Board’s decision. As everyday New Yorkers struggle to balance skyrocketing costs and stagnant wages, this increase will only deepen the housing crisis and push our neighbors closer to eviction.

The struggle for true liberation for Black people has not yet been won. But it is in unprecedented times like these that we reaffirm our commitment to charting a path that will lead us to our collective freedom. None of us are free until all of us are free. Happy #Juneteenth!

Proudly stood with New Yorkers for Parks and the Prospect Park Alliance in fighting for greater funding for our city’s parks. Millions of New Yorkers rely on them every day yet the Parks Department remains underfunded. We must ensure the city invests in the improvements our parks so urgently need.

Atlantic Avenue rezoning allowing 4,600 new homes passes key NYC Council panels The proposal could also bring 2,800 long-term jobs as well as park and traffic upgrades, according to city officials.

4,600 more homes in Brooklyn, one step closer to reality 🎉

Thank you @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social and @chiosse.bsky.social for your leadership on this rezoning!

There is no #EqualPayNY without #MomsEqualPay. We need stronger laws and substantial investment in:
✅ Expanding Pay Transparency Laws
✅ Making child care accessible to all
✅ Fair Pay for Care workers
✅ Expanding Paid leave

INTs 889-A & 1086-A (@cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social & CM Williams) require @nycfinance.bsky.social to notify the local Council Member when a recorded deed affects an interest in property that has been held by the same party for 30 yrs, and notify interested parties when a document has been recorded.

The “Protect Trans Futures” package (sponsored by @tiffanycaban.bsky.social, @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social, @chiosse.bsky.social, @cmcrystalhudson.bsky.social) aims to improve resources and ensure protections for transgender, gender non-conforming, non-binary, and intersex New Yorkers.

urging them to reject Con Edison’s request to raise natural gas rates by 13.3% and electric rates by 11.4%. Our city is already navigating a housing crisis, another utility rate increase would only add to the overwhelming burden that New Yorkers are facing across the 5 boroughs. (2/2)
