ACT UP NY

@BillAckman @gofundme Heterosexual men bailing each other out for murdering LGBTQ people is what’s tearing this country apart. Every donation and dollar laundered to the killer through @GoFundMe is another bullet fired into Renee’s face in front of her wife.

I am big believer in our legal principal that one is innocent until proven guilty. To that end, I supported the @gofundme for Jonathan Ross and intended to similarly support the gofundme for Renee Good’s family (her gofundme was closed by the time I attempted to provide support). The whole situation is a tragedy. An officer doing his best to do his job, and a protester who likely did not intend to kill the officer but whose actions in a split second led to her death. Our country is stronger if we work together to resolve the complex issues that are tearing us apart. gofundme.com/f/ice-offuver-… gofundme.com/f/support-for-…

These nerds are really trying to take out the next Mayor of New York City.

...and feed DOGE into the wood chipper.

Grieve for our ancestors & siblings 🕯️& fight like hell for the youngers & kids 🌹 Trans Day of Remembrance 2024 🏳️‍⚧️ & CEC meeting to rescind the resolution 248. Let trans students play sports & be free 🛝🪁 Wear black & wear a mask; well will bring candles & flowers 😷

Politicians across New York have shown support for enacting mask bans under the guise of stopping crime. But in reality, it will undermine public health, and surveil + criminalize protestors with unpopular views. Add your name to reject mask bans in NY: action.aclu.org/send-message/s…

Wearing a mask should not be a crime. From Nassau County to New York City to Yonkers and beyond: Politicians should not be exploiting the law to score political points and target protestors.

Flip the Ballot and vote YES on Prop 1 to protect against anti-trans & anti-disabled legislation in NY. For more information on Prop 1 go to: elections.ny.gov/2024-statewide…

It makes no sense to give MORE power to an indicted mayor who’s moving NYC in the wrong direction. Now he’s trying to change the city’s constitution to give himself & his interests more unchecked power & weaken checks-&-balances.  Vote NO on Props 2-6 #Nix2through6 #Election2024

It’s a trick, NOT a treat. Props 2-6 would give Mayor Adams’ would give him and his interests more power and upset #NYC’s system of checks-&-balances that are vital to local democracy. Vote NO on Props 2-6. #Nix2through6 #election2024

The mayor who tried to cut $75M from the Department of Health last June does not need more power! #NIX2through6 #NoPowerGrabNYC

NOW: We are at City Hall today, as elections are underway, to say loud and clear to all NYers: #Nix2Through6 We must protect checks and balances, and stop @NYCMayor Adams' power grab. #NoPowerGrabNYC
