I’m proud to be endorsed by MY union, @opeiulocal153.bsky.social. When we fight, we win! And I’ll always fight for workers’ rights and to build the labor movement, because that’s the only way we’ll beat the far-right and win a future that works for all of us.

I just voted for myself—& for truly progressive representation in NY! I’m proud of the campaign we’ve run to build a Brooklyn where anyone can afford to make a life here. And I was thrilled to vote for @bradlander.bsky.social & @drewforny.bsky.social, too! VOTE BY 9PM: findmypollsite.vote.nyc

My opponent, AM Simon, said she'd refuse special interest & corporate PAC money. Then, she accepted their checks anyway. Simon says one thing — but she does another. I won't take a penny from corporate lobbyists or PACs. Because that's been the problem in Albany for far too long.

First, a local task force approved the BMT blueprint: 6,000 new homes, 40% affordable. My opponent opposed it. Then, state funding was on the line. My opponent killed it. Now, there’s a clear choice: Will we build an affordable Brooklyn, or block it? www.politico.com/news/2026/05...

I'm a proud Jewish New Yorker who wants to block the bombs and end the genocide. The NYS Assembly can help to block the flow of $$ to illegal Israeli settlements. My opponent, AM Simon, hasn't signed on to Not On Our Dime. I will. On Day One.

AD 52 deserves an Assemblymember who shares our commitment to progressive change. I was proud to support Zohran & Brad in the June primary. My opponent, AM Simon, was silent on the danger of a Cuomo mayoralty. Now, we have a choice for Assembly. Courage over caution.

Happy Sunday, Father's Day, and final day of Early Voting. Counting today, we have 3 days left to shift the balance of state power in New York. Let us force Hochul to #TaxTheRich next year—and build the power to pass universal health care, child care, and housing—by winning most of these primaries.

I've seen too many friends & neighbors get priced out of Brooklyn & I've struggled to find an affordable apartment. Meanwhile, Assemblymember Simon has blocked new homes, making it worse. That's why I'm asking for your vote for Assembly:

At 16, I was diagnosed with cancer. It threw my life as a high schooler into chaos. When the worst happens, we should have a healthcare system we can count on, one that’s for people, not profit. I’m running to FINALLY #PassNYHealth & deliver universal healthcare!

Voter turnout in NYC is low, but those who *are* turning out want exactly what @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social says: courage, not caution. The time is unusually ripe for the Left to win many Dem primaries, including here in New York. Let us make the most of this precious opportunity over the next 6 days.

Brooklyn has gotten far too f***ing expensive. Why? Because of establishment politicians like my opponent, Jo Anne Simon. I'll always fight to build more homes, for social housing, and for tenants' rights. Courage over caution, and building over bluffing — always.

[AD-52] Lydia Green. @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social is endorsed by • @runforsomething.net • @opeiulocal153.bsky.social —and climate organizers (incl. @petesikora.bsky.social) + rabbis (incl. Abby Stein) whose judgment many of us trust. To do a shift: lydia-green-for-brooklyn.solidarity.tech/volunteer
Screenshot of the "About Lydia" section of her campaign site. On the left, in a cut-out shaped playfully perhaps like a flower or cloud, is a photo of Lydia (a young, white woman with medium-length, curly dark brown hair). On the right is the following text:

My name is Lydia Green, and I am a Democratic District Leader, progressive organizer, proud union member, tenant, NYC public school graduate, and queer Jewish New Yorker. I'm running for State Assembly in District 52 because Brooklyn is my home, and has been my family's home for generations, but it has become too expensive to live here. I refuse to remain passive on legislation that will save lives, protect immigrants, defend workers, and make my neighbors' lives easier. I was taught from an early age that my primary obligation does not lie within myself, but within my community.

I cannot help but fight for my home, and I am unbelievably grateful that thousands of members of my community have already trusted me to advocate on their behalf as District Leader. As an Assembly Member, I am ready to organize tirelessly to tax the rich, build affordable homes, protect us from the climate crisis, and pass every piece of progressive legislation that has languished for years in committee. We need a true activist in this seat - someone who won't have political capital as their primary concern, but ensuring that Brooklyn is affordable and equitable enough for everyone and anyone to build a life here.

Friends, today is the 3rd day of Early Voting. Counting today, we have 9 days left to shift the balance of statewide power in New York. Winning these primaries are how we'll get the governing power to #TaxTheRich, address climate change, and make housing, health care, + child care universal rights.

The NYS budget deal being reported is terrible: 450k will lose health care, informal collusion with ICE still permitted, climate standards weakened. Our best path to change the budget dynamics + outcomes is to recompose the Assembly. @lydiagreenbk.bsky.social for AD-52 is a key pick-up opportunity.

I couldn't be prouder to have been arrested yesterday alongside @climatedefiance.bsky.social as we took a stand to demand that @governor.ny.gov not gut our state's climate law — the climate crisis is past the point of no return, and further concessions will increase the death toll.
