Get out and vote Sarah Batchu #1 for City Council! 🗳️

Sarah Batchu, Council District 2, Manhattan (Open Seat), Ranked Choice #1 Sarah Batchu, who has experience as a non-profit executive in housing and health care, and in City Hall, is running for the open seat in this Lower East Side district currently held by Carlina Rivera, who is term-limited. A regular straphanger and cyclist, Ms. Batchu will support expanding the district's network of protected bike lanes, and fight to improve bus service and subway station accessibility. She wants to make the Avenue B Open Street permanent, and will push for improved access to the East River waterfront. She'll work to regulate delivery app companies to require that they put safety before speed and profits and carry liability insurance on behalf of workers. Ms. Batchu will also advocate to expand the city's trash containerization pilot to the Lower East Side.

Excited and grateful to be ranked #1 by @streetspac.org!

Our endorsement graphic template with green, yellow, orange, and blue wavy designs and the NYSYD logo with the text Endorsed by New York State Young Democrats, Ranked #1

I am excited to announce I have been endorsed as the #1 choice by NY State Young Democrats! Our young people are not just the future of our city, they’re the current leaders standing up against the Trump Administration, ICE, cuts to essential services, & so much more. Thank you for your support!

Image from NY10 Neighbors’ Instagram post yesterday of the candidates for City Council District 2, with their pictures and brief explanations of the rankings. Sarah’s name is in green and has a checkmark, with the text “Supports a permanent ceasefire; participated in a Jews for Racial & Economic Justice action.” Andrea Gordillo and Harvey Epstein’s names are in yellow. Anthony Weiner’s name is in red. Allie Ryan has “no public statements about Palestine.” https://www.instagram.com/p/DLORd2rNYGU/?img_index=3&igsh=MXNjaWd6dXMyaXpxbQ==

Honored to be the #1 choice by NY10 Neighbors, a multiracial, multifaith coalition. As a Jewish woman, I’m proud to support a permanent ceasefire & be the only candidate for this seat to say so, while calling for the hostages’ return. I stand for human rights & an end to violence across the world.

Sarah Batchu earned our top rank for Manhattan's 2nd Council District seat. She'll push to make the Avenue B open street permanent, expand the Lower East Side's bike network, and prioritize subway station accessibility. More about @sarahbatchu.bsky.social here: www.streetspac.org/2025_nyc_pri...

The NYT crossword for today, Friday June 20th, blank except for 17 Across — the clue is “Campaign reminder” and “VOTESARAHBATCHU” fits perfectly

Not to spoil today’s crossword, but

Yeah. If you live in district 2… don’t rank Weiner.

Happy Juneteenth! #FreedomDay

I am outraged by ICE’s continued presence in NYC — especially after the arrest of Comptroller @bradlander.bsky.social for standing up for due process.

ICE has no place in our city!

We have to stand up for New Yorkers. NYC is and always will be a city of immigrants.

Our campaign endorsement graphic with a photo of Suraj Patel, and text bubbles reading Endorsed by Suraj Patel — Lawyer, NYU Professor, Former Candidate for Congress NY-12

A quote from Suraj Patel: “The people who created our housing scarcity, cost and quality of life issues cannot be counted on to go back to office to fix it. The East Side has been hungry for a new generation of leaders who have the energy and ideas to move our city forward. Sarah Batchu is one of those new leaders with the courage to say yes instead of reflexively say no. I’m proud to endorse her and she will make an outstanding Council Member.”

I’m grateful to have the support of @surajpatelnyc.bsky.social! He’s dedicated himself to our community, fighting against the Trump Muslim Ban, expanding absentee voting, & so much more. Sign up for our day of action this weekend! www.mobilize.us/sarahbatchuf...

We had such a great time today at The Loisaida Festival! 🇵🇷
