In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done. My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

The decision regarding Energy Transfer v Greenpeace about the activism against the Dakota Access Pipeline is out. Not only will the decision likely bankrupt Greenpeace US, but it will set a precedent that could limit free speech by climate groups & other NGOs. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

In honor of the Inauguration today, I'm going to share some toplines from our survey of participants at the People's March in DC (I did this after the big marches during Trump 1.0 to document the Resistance), so here goes: People came from all over the US to participate--81% lived outside DC.
