A bit late in posting these, but sharing some pics from No Kings 3 in NYC this weekend. It felt great being out there! Looking forward to continuing to build on the No Kings momentum as we keep on fighting against fascism and for a better world.

Join us this afternoon in calling out NYC's private hospitals for their shameful capitulation on gender-affirming care and calling on @mayor.nyc.gov and other local/state leaders to step it up when it comes to ensuring trans youth receive the care and support they need in NYC!

Flyer with a pink background and white text reading:

Protect Trans Kids' Healthcare

Hospitals are canceling essential gender-affirming care for trans youth, and it is up to our city and state elected to take action.

Thrilled to see this arrive in my mailbox today! Bittersweet Lane is the brand-new book by the amazing @jmaddenmass.bsky.social -- must-read for anyone who cares about housing affordability and justice! Jamie will be in NYC on Monday to do a reading in Brooklyn -- link in the next post!

Picture of a book on a table top. The book title is "Bittersweet Lane: Creating Home(s) in the American Affordable Housing Crisis." The author is Jamie Madden. This is a wonderful new book that is both a personal memoir and a policy book on affordable housing in the US.

Still reflecting on the great time I had at #2024APPAM! Particularly right now, it was wonderful being in community with practitioners and scholars focused on building public good through every lever we can. Thanks to everyone at @appam.bsky.social who worked hard to make this great event happen!

Telling that my transit nerd brain's first reaction to this article was "doesn't Tom Suozzi know that there are many trains each day between NYC and Albany?" www.nytimes.com/2023/12/05/n...

Text from NYT article that says "With his successor, George Santos, expelled from Congress, Tom Suozzi appeared to be on the brink of a full-scale comeback campaign on Monday. Then he got a worrisome request: Gov. Kathy Hochul wanted to see him. In Albany. Tonight.

Mr. Suozzi knew Ms. Hochul, a bitter rival, had been toying for weeks with trying to block him from becoming the Democratic nominee in a special election to replace Mr. Santos. So he cleared his schedule, fighting through three hours of rush-hour traffic to arrive at the Governor’s Mansion after nightfall."
