Every year, Rosh Hashanah is an invitation — it begins the Days of Awe, where we take stock of the past year and set intentions for the one to come. 1/4

This year, Rosh Hashanah falls on 9/11, and my reflections are filled with 25 years of our city’s grief in its wake — those who were lost, the heroic workers, and our neighbors who continue to be profiled, surveilled, and harassed due to anti-Muslim and Sikh prejudice. 2/4

I’m also thinking about the incredible wave of hope our collective movement has brought to New York - that we can have a better city. We elected an unprecedented number of socialists, made Palestine a baseline issue, and tended to our burgeoning anti-war movement. 3/4

This year, we have proven that we don’t have to settle for less because the powerful told us to. I’m taking today to reset and prepare myself for the work ahead. A year of challenge, shared struggle, and growth as we build the city we deserve. Shanah Tovah! 4/4
