I’m very proud to be endorsed by the UFT for my re-election bid! As a former Chapter Leader, I saw up close the incredible work this union does to support public school educators.

Right - absolutely despicable. This is a direct attack on Jewish life on campus. @TheNewSchool must not allow the student senate to be weaponized to target their Jewish population.

Despicable news. NYC’s @TheNewSchool student senate has voted to suspend Hillel’s funding & collaboration. Hillel is the center of Jewish life on campus. Not a word, of course, from NYC’s “antisemitism czar” @phylisajoy who appears to be on a perpetual “listening tour” serving as Mamdani’s official token Jew.

This week, it was reported that Jewish New Yorkers were subjected to vile antisemitism at a prominent Brooklyn institution …conduct that likely violates state and local human rights laws and warrants public attention and a response from your administration, including the NYC Commission on Human Rights. Yet I have not seen a word from City Hall about that incident. Leadership in New York requires the ability to show up consistently for all communities, especially when hate targets them here at home. Foundational to advancing any mayoral agenda is ensuring that New Yorkers of every background feel seen, heard, and protected by their mayor, which includes Jewish New Yorkers.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@NYCMayor

Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers. My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers. This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.

This veto is a failure for our children. Our children deserve to enter and leave school without fear or intimidation. Full Stop. When a school is forced to close early because it can’t secure its perimeter during a protest, something is broken. This happened just a few months ago in Queens. That’s why common sense legislation like the bill put forward by @EricDinowitzNYC isn’t optional - it’s essential to protecting our children while also protecting freedom to protest.

We're deeply disappointed by Mayor Mamdani’s decision to veto Intro 175, legislation that would require clear safety plans around schools. Our statement with @JCRCNY, @ADL_NYNJ, @AJCGlobal, @OrthodoxUnion, @Teach_NYS, @RabbiAssembly, @StandWithUs, @Conf_of_Pres & @URJorg.

🚨‼️ RARE rebuke from major Jewish organizations of Mayor Mamdani’s expected veto of the schools protest safety bill (175-B): "This veto is a profound failure of City Hall to demonstrate to all New Yorkers that our safety is a priority." Joint statement ⬇️

These racist comments are horrendous. Racism has no place anywhere, especially when directed at our kids. Schools and community spaces must be places of dignity and safety. DOE must investigate this incident and address broader issues of racism within our school communities.

Today, the Council’s Committee on Education held an oversight hearing on mayoral control of New York City’s public school system, examining how the current system of mayoral control shapes governance, accountability, and decision-making at both the citywide and community levels.

Many residents in Botanical Square are STILL without gas and are now facing a steep rent increase. That’s why I’m here in Bedford Park with West Bronx Housing to organize tenants and fight for their dignity and their right to live affordably in our neighborhood.
