@NYCGreenfield @MMViverito @MetCouncil 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Many people have pushed back on our MLK Day event and said, “A Day of Service should be about our own community.” As CEO of @MetCouncil, I see it differently, and I think Dr. King would too. MLK Day is about service, yes, but it is also about bridge-building. Especially when there is tension. Especially when it would be easier to stay in our own lane. The whole point of a Day of Service is to move toward each other, not away from each other. As the largest Jewish charity fighting poverty in the United States, we spend every day serving New Yorkers and yes, Jews, in need. Today, in honor of Dr. King, we’re widening the circle by doing something intentional: packing and distributing for 25 halal food distributions across New York for our tens of thousands of our Muslim neighbors in honor of Ramadan next month. This is not “instead of” serving our community. It is part of the same mission: fighting hunger, honoring human dignity, and choosing partnership over suspicion. We can disagree passionately about politics. But we can still agree that hunger is wrong, and that service is a language that all people understand. That is the spirit of #MLKday. And that is the spirit we’re trying to share as a leading Jewish charity. We are all responsible for one another. 🙏

@IrwinRedlenerMD Ty. Sadly, time to stop following US based federally provided health advice and to stick to global advice amd protocals.

Dear Trump & MAGA supporters, You and I don’t agree on almost anything politically. OK. But as a pediatrician (and grandpa) please understand that I am politically agnostic. Let me tell you some things as plainly as I can: - Vaccines do not cause autism. - Vaccines and the current vaccine schedule has been tested and studied repeatedly. Safety is not a concern. - Tylenol in pregnancy does not cause autism. - The Administration is drastically cutting research to find cures for the serious diseases that kill us. That’s not political. That’s stupid. These things are NOT a matter of opinion, they are established science. They are facts. Are there doctors who don’t agree with what I’m telling you? Yes there are. Are they entitled to “their opinions”? Maybe. But they are wrong. Please take care of your children - and yourselves.

@NYCMayor Stagnating anti hunger funds in the “best budget ever?” Best for who?

Over the past three years, we have made incredible progress making NYC safer, more affordable, and the best place to raise a family. Fast forward to today, our Best Budget Ever is going to make it even clearer to working families: your city has your back. silive.com/news/2025/05/n…

@AmiDar Front line Anti hunger activists are all in

Are you in or near NYC? If so, I’d love to meet you in person. We’ll soon start hosting some happy hours at our office, and it would be great to see you there.

The campaign hunger games is all about fake stories on immigrants eating pets. But why is no one talking about solving the key problem: hunger. If you think the cost of eating is high, try the cost of not eating. Here’s my latest column for @gzeromedia gzeromedia.com/gzero-north/th…

@AmiDar Ali Abu Awad is truly a hero for all of us fighting to uplift all communities across the globe.

Of course a Palestinian-American should also speak at the DNC. This should be a no-brainer.

Thank you @NYCGreenfield @HispanicFed @CathCharitiesNY for giving voice to the need that continues to grow across the city with lessening support from the public sector. @NYCMayor needs to do the right thing and focus (and fund) food for the health of vulnerable New Yorkers! #

@IrwinRedlenerMD One of the coolest , kindest of kids and greatest embracers of life!!!

Thank you for mentioning our son, Jason Redlener, who died in a freak accident in Oregon 25 years ago. He was 28. Some of our family gathered in Central Park (NYC) and hung out in the rain around the bench that Karen dedicated to his extraordinary life. That gorgeous boy was one the kindest, most engaging and caring people that has ever walked on this planet.

It’s easy to support “the armed struggle” or the “crushing of Hamas” when you are doing neither the killing nor the dying. This conflict does not have a military solution. 100 years should be enough. Enough.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them!.... in a world of so much pain and suffering some #chefslead and others are just trying to trademark condiments ? #smh amp.theguardian.com/food/2024/apr/…

@RachelS23 Thought a @FoodBank4NYC truck hit our warehouse again 😂

I believe we just had a bit of an earthquake in NYC...

Sending love, sorrow, and solidarity to my brothers and sisters @WCKitchen.

The truth is @chefjoseandres & his @WCKitchen team, like any #chef knows, is simply making sure his customers (who these days happen to be millions across globe in harms way) get the service and food they need. We can do better and be better... Jose shows the way!

@hbottemiller I did not even think Washington folks were even trying anymore to make farm bill happen this year 😩

Farm bill pessimism permeates Washington 🚜 🛒 Even the most optimistic folks in Washington are starting to bet against Congress passing a farm bill this year. foodfix.co/farm-bill-pess…

I only sat down with Netanyahu once, in summer of 1991, he was first person I had ever heard say " from the river to the sea ..." and his peace averse political ideals have not changed one bit. Ty @SenSchumer

@MicahLasher @ShaunAbreu Team @wscah ever thankful for @ShaunAbreu and his entire team !

Something I learned last night: you *want* @ShaunAbreu out petitioning with you. The skill is insane.

There is no cavalry coming. No miracle solution. No saviors. In the end, we, the American people - not any of our institutions - have to save our democracy by voting in defense of that democracy this fall. We are the cavalry. The responsibility is ours.

@TamarHaspel @hbottemiller The choice is not yours to make . Choice is for consumers to make.

I'm a long-time proponent of making SNAP like WIC - covers a suite of healthful, nutritious foods. What exactly are healthful nutritious foods? Put @hbottemiller and me in a room and we'll make the list. I promise there will be no controversy. foodfix.co/recent-edition…
