Raising taxes on the wealthy won’t drive millionaires out of New Yorkβ€”it will help keep the city livable for everyone.

Our Chair, and proud New Yorker, Morris Pearl explains why he’s willing to pay more in taxes so everyone can afford to live and enjoy all that New York City has to offer.

Trump’s threats to deploy troops to our city makes all of us less safe. This is un-American and creates chaos that only weakens our local communities and economy.

New Yorkers want a safe and affordable city, and we are united in demanding that Trump keep his hands off NYC.

Trump and the Republicans are choosing to shut down the government and withhold paychecks from federal workers, all so they can take away money for health care and give it to billionaires.

A screeenshot of a twitter post from Politico reporter Jeff Coltin. There's a photo of Zohran Mamdani and NY Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie standing at a podium outside with news station microphones on the podium and a Zohran for New York City sign on the podium too. The tweet says: 

Would you help Mamdani raise taxes on millionaires, pass free child care and free buses, Heastie is asked?
β€œAll of the above,” Heastie said. 
β€œMillionaire taxes poll extremely well,” he adds. β€œWith the Big Disgusting Bill, the rich are getting richer with that bill.”

@speakercarlheastie.bsky.social knows what's up.

The Federal Budget Scam serves the rich, and the rich alone.

New Yorkers are more than ready to #TaxTheRich.

It's time for them to pay their fair share.
