Happy Rent Freeze Day! 🏠❄️ This month, we canvassed rent-stabilized buildings in Astoria to let our neighbors know that rents are frozen on leases starting Oct. 1 (TODAY!), their rights as tenants, and how to report violations. Organized tenants mobilized to win this. It’s up to us to defend it.

We are in a unique political moment to win big for both New York’s working families, and the workers who care for our precious children. I’m ready get to work and make taxing the rich to fund childcare a top priority for our office next legislative session. 🫡✊🏽✨

Thank you @actionlabny.bsky.social for inviting my colleagues and I to the NYS Childcare Alignment Table. This powerful event convened childcare providers, workers, parents, and unions to align on a vision for universal childcare that includes dignified wages and workplace conditions!

The blatantly racist and Islamophobic campaign against @mayor.nyc.gov at a time of grief and remembrance for our city is sickening. Muslim New Yorkers are New Yorkers and Mayor Mamdani belongs at the 9/11 memorial, no matter how much bigots whine on Fox News for political clout.
Paladino on Mamdani: The same way it's a message when he goes down to 9/11–it's a message to Osama Bin laden that, look, we conquered New York.
