To me, McGuinness is the story of an incredibly well led neighborhood (at both civic & local elected levels) in an abysmally-led city. @emilyassembly.bsky.social, Bronwyn Breitner & Kevin Lacherra are absolute stars in the film

Changing Lanes, a new film by Brooklyn-based cinematographer Ben Wolf premiered this past weekend at the Architectural & Design Film Festival. It does an amazing job of situating the recent struggle over the McGuinness Blvd *road diet* in Greenpoint within the history of making cities car dependent

@emilyassembly.bsky.social and @phara4assembly.bsky.social, who were among the arrestees, spoke in support of our contract fight and our union at our solidarity rally. We know they are doing their duty as representatives and putting themselves in the sights of this administration to defend us.

Great video by @madisonswart.bsky.social showing our earnest elected officials attempting to access an ICE detention facility to do oversight.

They explain. They ask. They chant. They sing!

Some reps reuniting after their arrests on the 10th floor. Including @jabaribrisport.bsky.social, Marcela Mitaynes, and @emilyassembly.bsky.social.

These actions are solemn and tense, but there's also so much fellowship and joy. These folks know who they are and what they're here to do together.

Assemblymember Emily Gallagher @emilyassembly.bsky.social has been fighting to make McGuinness safe for years. She told a story about wanting to fix this street ever since she lived right at this very corner.

In 2021, PS110 teacher Matthew Jensen was killed in a hit-and-run on McGuinness Blvd, the site of countless injuries and deaths.

Led by @emilyassembly.bsky.social + Make Mcguinness Safe, Greenpointers thought they had won a street redesign โ€” until Adams admin corruption halted work.

Now, the Assembly sponsor @emilyassembly.bsky.social calls for the Assembly to follow the Senate and pass this bill A.2315 to expand and strengthen the State Commission of Correction. Lives are at stake and action must be taken to increase oversight and accountability.

$15M in CEO compensation is something out of White Lotus. Exorbitant, indeed.

But pushing on the PSC hasn't solved the problem.

We have a solution to make utilities affordableโ€”it's called NY HEAT. If we're serious about keeping costs low, we should pass it in the budget.

This slate delivers fresh faces with the right attitudes, experience, and vision for our city.

I hope you take a deeper dive into these candidates and make the decision thatโ€™s right for you.

We have a chance to build a city we're proud of this election โ€” let's take it. 11/

In my personal capacity, I am going a step further and endorsing a full slate. I believe each of these people would bring a fantastic change to city hall.

In this crucial election, when the stakes are so high, people should rank 5 candidates โ€” just not Andrew Cuomo. 3/

Coming together as a coalition of elected officials has been an important shift for NBK โ€” we support one another and work together on initiatives that are good for our community.

๐ŸงตWe tend to celebrate individual politicians, but legislating is a team sport.

North Brooklyn was once party machine-dominated, with men (yes, mostly men) fighting each other for power โ€” and our community paid for it. 1/
