Assemblymember Emily Gallagher

@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!

NYS assembly members Jabari Birsport, Emily Gallgher, and Marcela Mitaynes embrace, beaming, on the sidewalk outside of 26 Federal Plaza.

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 — until Adams admin corruption halted work.

We know what we have to do to save our city from Andrew Cuomo.

We're cross endorsing 🤝 @bradlander.bsky.social

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.

Full press release:

Let’s reverse President Trump’s Corporate Tax Cut; tell @Governor.ny.gov to fight back by passing the Corporate Tax bill in this year’s state budget.

$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 affordable—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 that’s right for you.

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

Jessica Ramos is a great ally and leader on environmental, immigrant rights and labor reform. She is a true warrior of the working class. 10/

Zellnor Myrie is an accomplished lawyer and legislator who has passed some of the greatest criminal justice reforms in recent memory. Zellnor is a joy to work with and would bring integrity and a thoughtful work ethic to City Hall. 9/

Adrienne Adams has highly relevant experience as the Speaker of City Council, and she has been able to build and hold together a broad coalition to accomplish important wins for NYC, withstanding citywide scrutiny and pressure to deliver the goods. 8/

After Zohran and Brad, I’m endorsing 3 other candidates for the rest of my slate. In no particular order, they are below. 7/

Brad Lander is an experienced and accomplished politician. He is a thoughtful, detail-oriented lawmaker with citywide management experience. He's been a mentor to me and for many years has always treated my office with incredible respect and support. 6/

Zohran Mamdani is a visionary leader. He knows that a Democratic Socialist future will best deliver stability, quality of life, and a more functional city for all. He is a hard worker with the courage and charisma to push for a more equitable society. 5/

With all of that in mind, I am endorsing two people for my top endorsement — Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander. I know both well, and both would make for strong mayors. 4/

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 — just not Andrew Cuomo. 3/

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

It was important to us to collaborate on our endorsements in the same fashion. 2/

🧵We 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 — and our community paid for it. 1/

The Daily News nails it:

“There’s no question that New York State must make it harder for people who show reckless disregard for public safety on the roads to put others at risk.”

These are the ads about Elon Musk that the Washington Post refused to run.

The paper offered NO EXPLANATION.

This is the problem with outlets that are CONTROLLED BY BILLIONAIRES focused on ingratiating themselves with Trump.

Comptroller DiNapoli on the emergency contracts bill: "I don't think you can have accountability for taxpayer dollars in the spending if you don't have transparency. If a contract is led with all good intention and is reasonable, it should be able to stand up to scrutiny."

We debated the Climate Superfund Act until 2 am last spring against politicians paid for by oil/gas.

2024 is shaping up to be the hottest year on record. NY desperately needs this revenue to mitigate disasters and transition off fossil fuels. Sign the bill, @GovKathyHochul.

It’s us vs. the billionaires these next four years. Time to crack open your history books on the Gilded Age— we are living in it again, but like almost all sequels, this one is worse.
