Tell Congress to support the BE HEARD Act to expand Title VII so more workers, including contractors, are protected against workplace discrimination and harassment. As more people are classified as contractors, we must expand these protections! nwlc.org/tell-your-me...

We can choose to implement the CLCPA in ways that actually put money back into New Yorkers' pockets. We must hold the line on the CLCPA, for the sake of our planet and our pocketbooks. I published an op-ed on this back in January - read it here now ICYMI: www.cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026... (2/2)

Opinion: Don’t delay the CLCPA
As tempting as it may be to seek an extension on the 2030 deadline, we should not consider weakening this legislation.

💡NYC's J-51 program can help 200,000 NYC co-ops afford the energy & electrification upgrades needed for climate law Local Law 97. 🚨 But a June 2026 cutoff makes it unusable for most buildings. ➡️ We must extend J-51 through 2035 to meet climate goals & make compliance for co-ops affordable!

Tonight was a HUGE WIN for Local Law 97, NYC’s “Green New Deal” law. It’s the world’s most-important city-level climate/jobs law. The real estate lobby hates it. Cuomo was going to try and gut or weaken it, as he tried as Governor. Mamdani is a big supporter. Local Law 97 for the WIN!

What's Cuomo's record on climate/jobs - and why is he unfit to be Mayor? Read this thread to learn why. TLDR: As Governor, Cuomo *already tried* to wreck NYC's Local Law 97, our landmark climate and jobs law, by overriding it. Plus, corruption & incompetence. #DoNotRankCuomo /1

Hey @wnba @wnbacommish, it is time for you to do something tangible about fans in arenas who are being aggressive and heckling your players. SHOW that you take the protection of your players very seriously.
As a longtime fan and someone who has poured tens of thousands into my season tickets, and a fan of basketball, the state of affairs is unacceptable. Your players are who you owe the most to. And many of us who have watched the league for a long time think this is unacceptable.Players like @angelreese5 who get harassed even more b/c of their visibility and b/c of a media manufactured rivalry deserve to feel safe when playing the game, 
@wnba. You've created a campaign called "NO SPACE FOR HATE" but it is not reflecting in how you're handling the moments when your players are getting slurs thrown at them.
Do something tangible and real. We already spend too much time feeling unsafe in the rest of the world. A woman-centered league should prioritize SAFETY.It is not Caitlyn's fault that many of her fans are racist trolls BUT it is her responsibility to speak up about how she does not condone their behavior REGULARLY and STRONGLY. Not just one time but often. Why? Because in her silence or weak statements is a passive permission.
Rebuke what they are doing on your behalf. And before y'all say "she's young" so is Paige Bueckers, who has made many statements about how Black women have supported her.
Caitlyn is not too young to speak up regularly.Folks will infantilize Caitlyn and then act like Angel is an adult who should be able to handle all the hate being thrown at her. How is Caitlyn too young to take some onus while Angel is too old to be hurt when grown men are sending her death threats?
It is simply a microcosm of the real world where white women are treated like damsels and Black women like villains.
We are not standing for it. Protect Angel. She does not deserve how she's being treated and the @WNBA needs to do more.
