Beautiful, democratically-controlled, permanently affordable housing for all isn’t a pipe dream: it’s social housing, and I’m fighting to bring it NY. We can have housing that allows people to live with dignity and supports our climate goals. But we have to organize for it.

A strong endorsement for my Packaging Reduction & Recycling Infrastructure Act from the Times-Union in Albany. Corporate interests are spending huge amounts to kill the bill but it is vital for lowering waste disposal costs and improving public health. timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

Democratic leaders shouldn’t fall for oil and gas industry talking points: NY’s energy affordability crisis is directly linked to our over-reliance on gas. We must implement the CLCPA and build towards a future that is not dependent on fossil fuels. cityandstateny.com/opinion/2026/0…

Apropos of nothing, just a reminder that we can reduce New Yorkers' energy bills AND carbon emissions by allowing them to install plug-in solar on their balconies. The SUNNY Act would do just that. canarymedia.com/articles/solar…

The kids are alright! Proud to stand with @TREEage_Team yesterday to call for strong policies to protect our climate. These young people will bear the cost of our addiction to dirty, expensive energy. We owe it to them to fight for a future that’s free from fossil fuels.

How many New Yorkes have to come up to Albany and parade their pain before we pass the Stop Super Speeders Act to make our streets safer? I commend the Governor and the Senate for including the bill in their budget proposals. We must win it in the final.

Every New Yorker should be able to harness the power of the sun to cut down on energy costs and reduce emissions with plug-in solar. My bill with @LizKrueger, the SUNNY Act, would bring that vision to life. nydailynews.com/2026/03/17/let…

Representing the epicenter of the “crappy luxury” zeitgeist is why I proposed my Social Housing Development Authority legislation. No one deserves to give half their income to live in a dilapidated shoebox. gothamist.com/news/crappy-lu…

Solidarity with nurses always! BK nurses are caring for patients while they themselves lack health insurance. @official_tbhc agreed to protect and pay nurses’ healthcare benefits earlier this year. Tell hospital execs to honor that commitment. bit.ly/tbhc-nurses

This is deeply unsettling and unacceptable. All people deserve to be safe in their place of worship and in the world, regardless of how they pray. I'm hearing from community members who are scared, and I want to be clear—I stand with my Jewish community, and I have their backs.

“There is no doubt that we are behind on our climate targets — but when you’re behind, real leaders don’t quit, they work harder.” 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼@LizKrueger @SenatorHarckham @kevinparkernyc nydailynews.com/2026/03/12/kee…

Reaching net zero by 2050 is often framed as a cost burden. The UK Climate Change Committee’s latest analysis suggests the opposite. The real risk is fossil fuel dependency.

Oh look, after Spain spent the past six years investing heavily in solar and wind renewables, energy price fluctuations because of the US-Israel attack on Iran will impact them the least "Since 2019, Spain has doubled its wind and solar capacity, adding over 40 GW - more than any other EU country except Germany, whose power market is twice the size of Spain’s" "As a result, Spain’s electricity price is much less influenced by the ever-fluctuating cost of gas, which increased by 55 per cent the day after the Iran war started and has continued to rise"

I’m encouraged that both the Governor and the Senate included a version of my bill, the Stop Super Speeders Act, in their budget proposals. We must include it in the final budget to slow down these reckless drivers, protect New Yorkers and deliver safer streets once and for all.

Just a reminder, our state’s top super speeders are wracking up hundreds of speed camera violations and paying tens of thousands in tickets with no behavior change. We need a new approach to stop super speeders. amny.com/nyc-transit/ny…

We have a warmonger in the White House, oil prices are above $100 a barrel for the first time in years, and things are almost certain to get worse before they get better. Tell me again that fossil fuels are the stable, affordable option, please. wsj.com/world/middle-e…

Hundreds rallied today to defend NY and fund our future! From NY4All to taxing the ultra-wealth and corporations to upholding the CLCPA and making polluters pay, NYers are standing united. @GovKathyHochul, stand with New Yorkers.

As legislators, we must do everything we can this budget to defend our state from the federal govt’s chaos. That means: 💰Taxes on the ultra wealthy 🦋Strong protections for immigrants 🌞Public renewables and investments to transition to cleaner, more affordable energy

Almost 70 scientists from top universities (and even industry, heyyyy Procter & Gamble) signed a letter to spell out, in painstaking detail, the importance of the CLCPA and its accounting measures, urging the Gov not to weaken it. She should listen. politico.com/f/?id=0000019c…

Relieved to see this, and this is just the beginning of this process. If you, like me, care about climate AND sustainably affordable utilities, make sure your legislators know you want to see this in the final budget!

Nothing better than hanging out with youth leaders from the district in Albany! Civic engagement is a muscle you build 💪🏼💪🏼.
