Even during #Eclipse2024 , Animal Advocacy Day is sure to brighten the day!

Proud to co-host this event once again to bring shelters, rescues & advocates to the Capitol to call for greater protections for our furry, feathered & scaly friends. 🐱🐶🐍🦜

Putting in the hours to wrap up the state budget in Albany, yet also looking forward to tomorrow's #SolarEclipse ! Safety reminder: grab those protective glasses before you look up.

Getting a 🌯 in 10 min shouldn’t be more important than the safety of delivery workers + #NYers , which is why we must pass my bill to hold big apps accountable for incentivizing speed on our streets.

“Delivery workers say the apps they work for have retaliated by….more readily deactivating workers’ accounts.”

My bill cracks down on exploitive practices that prioritize profit + speed over workers’ rights + pedestrian safety.

‼️ Free cancer screenings save lives.

Our Cancer Screening Program helps uninsured NYers test for cancer & begin treatment before it’s too late, but more funding is needed to expand its reach.

The Assembly one-house budget fully funded it at $22.3m. Now it must be in the final!

The breadth of alleged sexual abuse on
Rikers is astonishing.

As the Assembly #ASA sponsor, it was an honor to provide countless people a path to justice. Clearly, we have more work to do to protect survivors.

There was a Sophie's choice on the floor of the Assembly today: letting people know which ingredients are in their 👶🏼’s diapers or carry 💧 for big corporations?

Luckily, it wasn't a tough question for most of my colleagues who voted for my bill. 🎉

Low wages, poor working conditions & high turnover has decimated the home care industry.

Investing in #CareNotProfits will ensure increases go into workers’ pockets, not insurance company coffers.💰

We need Home Care Savings & Reinvestment Act to deliver true #FairPay4HomeCare !

Everyone should be safe on our streets. We stood together today for those we’ve lost to traffic violence, and to put an end to this scourge, for our children’s sake.

In Bayron Palomino Arroyo’s name and in the name of all we’ve lost, let’s pass #SammysLaw ASAP.

Never, ever discount the power of a group of determined tenants who are fighting to stay in their homes + expand affordability for their neighbors 🎉

While 47 states provide families that have tragically lost loved ones access to compensation for pain & suffering, New York’s wrongful death law hasn’t changed in 170 years.

This must be the year we once again pass the #GrievingFamiliesAct and have it signed into law.

Everywhere you looked in the Capitol today, tenants were out in full force! 👊

1,000+ tenants from around the state traveled to Albany to demand:
☑️ #GoodCause
☑️ #HAVP
☑️ #TOPA

The rent is too damn high & New Yorkers can’t wait any longer.

In NYS, tenants who pay their rent & adhere to the rules should not have to fear being kicked to the curb through capricious evictions or rent gouging.

By increasing supply we will house people in the future. By protecting tenants we ensure people remain in their homes today.

Speeding drivers are killing NYers right before our eyes in neighborhoods across the city.

Just a few days ago, a spirited 8-year-old boy in Queens was killed in a crosswalk in front of his mother and brother.

We have the power to stop this by passing #SammysLaw in the budget.

The Homeowner Protection Program serves as a lifeline for those at risk of foreclosure.

NY Assembly Majority stepped up to provide $40 million in our one-house budget to restore cuts & #FundHOPP .

With rising foreclosure rates, fully funding this program has never been more urgent.

Cash assistance helps people climb out of poverty, but some rates have not changed since the days we listened to Whitney Houston on our Walkmen.

Proud that NY Assembly Majority included my proposal boosting decades-old grants in our budget plan. Now let’s secure in the final!

Exciting news! The Settlement House Program was funded in the Assembly's One-House Budget at $5 million! This is a much needed increase that will help settlement houses statewide. Thank you Linda B. Rosenthal “the #OriginalRosenthal” for your leadership and advocacy.

We are ready to pass a budget that includes the #NYHEAT Act!

Our climate crisis is worsening and everyday New Yorkers can’t keep up with rising utility bills. 💵

Higher utility costs should not subsidize the same fracked gas infrastructure that fuels our climate crisis.
