Zohran's rightly been getting praise for recent executive actions, but FYI the @nycprogressives.bsky.social notched even bigger victories last week.

Read @amirkhafagy.bsky.social's piece to learn about 3 truly historic wins: one each for app-based drivers, street vendors, + private security guards.

The 2026 NYC Council Progressive Caucus has more members than last year, more alignment with the new mayor, and now new leadership to maintain the greater internal coherence the caucus has attained within the past several years.

My latest for @documentedny.bsky.social
documentedny.com/2026/01/30/c...

Thank you, @council.nyc.gov colleagues who voted for this reform, including @speakermenin.bsky.social for your unwavering leadership.

I remain committed to seeing through the implementation of this package with the new Administration under @mayor.nyc.gov.

✊ BIG WIN ✊

Today, New York City is finally reforming its street vending system in a way that works for everyone by overriding former Mayor Adams’ last-minute veto on Int. 431-B.

Instacart is a $10B dollar company. Their CEO is punishing Instacart consumers because my bill, Local Law 124, made them pay their workers a minimum wage of $21/hr.

This is corporate greed, plain and simple.

In 2025, we passed bills to finally put a nail in the coffin of Guiliani’s privatized debt collection system: Intros 570, 1407, 1419 & 1420.

Today we finished the job. We’re moving away from an opaque predatory model to a democratic and transparent one that protects homeowners.

In partnership with Life of Hope join CM Joseph in collaboration with my colleagues in government to discuss the latest information and updates regarding the potential termination of TPS for Haiti

The Haitian community and their contributions is an integral part of our communities here in New York City and across the country, but now approximately 350,000 of them can be at risk of deportation if the Trump administration terminates TPS for Haiti next month on February 3rd

COPA is a critical tool to preserve affordable housing, slow speculative flipping and protect tenants.

Despite not overriding Eric Adams' veto, I'm proud of this coalition. This is the @nycprogressives.bsky.social top legislative priority and we are not backing down.

Are you ​​a natural problem solver with a knack for strategy? We’re hiring a Chief of Staff to put our office’s mission into action.

PSC members showed up again today, outside Mount Sinai West, to walk the picket line and show our solidarity with @nynurses.bsky.social. #UnionProud #UnionStrong #1U

This measure, while impacting a small set of buildings, would have a tremendous impact on the lives of countless struggling tenants and bolster the fight against displacement. We are with the broad, people-powered coalition of everyday New Yorkers in support of Thursday’s override vote.” 4/4

Thursday’s override puts our neighbors first and would enact a modest reform to empower local stakeholders over the oligarchs who aim to buy up our precious housing stock in the name of shareholder value.

Picture of statement copied in this thread.

When our former disgraced Mayor Eric Adams vetoed COPA, he sided with wealthy and powerful real estate interests over working and middle class New Yorkers fighting to remain in the city they call home.

Title of statement in support of COPA bill.

1/4 🧵

With Thursday’s veto override votes approaching, our members issue the following statement:

“We stand with each of our members’ veto override efforts on Thursday, including on the Community Opportunity to Purchase Act (Introduction 902-B), a key Caucus priority bill.

We mourn with the people of Minneapolis and are clear eyed in our shared conviction that ICE must be abolished.”

“Today, the federal government murdered an ICU nurse in Minnesota who was a legal observer of ICE’s unlawful kidnapping campaign.

We are devastated and enraged that death and violence are now the norm of the federal government’s immigration policy.

STATEMENT: Caucus leaders @cmjengutierrez.bsky.social @cmshahanahanif.bsky.social @cmsandynurse.bsky.social @cndelarosa.bsky.social on today’s ICE-sanctioned killing in Minnesota:

Make sure you and your students are prepared for remote learning. A final decision on in-person or remote instruction will be made on Sunday. If the decision to go remote is made, we will send a text message. Stay warm, stay safe and see the DOE statement here: https://bit.ly/4r22xti

@unhny.bsky.social represents settlement houses across our city reaching over 800K New Yorkers so I'm proud to have their support on COPA!

They recognize that housing insecurity is the most pressing issue facing most New Yorkers and that COPA can offer a way to protect affordable housing.
