1 in 4 fatal police encounters involve an individual with serious mental illness. Here’s what needs to change 🧵

ICE won’t tell anyone where 6-year-old Yuanxin is. He was separated from his dad at a mandatory check-in. The cruelty is unfathomable & makes us all unsafe. We must fight for freedom from fear & tyranny. We must abolish ICE & reunite all families separated by ICE.

Thank you to the everyday NYers joining the fight

Happening now near Canal Street, federal agents had been staging inside a fed owned parking garage, now being confronted by a group of protesters. masked agents are looking on from above.

A wonderful Thanksgiving cheering on Turkey Trotters in Prospect Park with Prospect Park Track Club and greeting families at Heights and Hills delivering meals to homebound seniors. I am deeply grateful for the District 39 community that shows up for one another today and every day. ❤️

Today, NYC Council passed Int. 1216A, which will provide salons with multilingual posters that
display resources for survivors of domestic and gender-based violence. This will ensure survivors are met where they are, in trusted spaces, with the resources they need.

Happy Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for the opportunity to serve this incredible city, my community, and the neighbors who make it so special.

Thank you CM!
