With over 78% of the vote, I’m honored to be your Democratic nominee for Assembly District 36. Thanks to your support, a socialist immigrant mom will continue to represent Astoria and Long Island City in the New York State Assembly!

The first time I was a delegate to NYC-DSA convention was 2022. It's the very heart of DSA's democracy. And this year, I’m voting for the Socialist Majority slate. Vote by Sunday night: vote.socialistmajority.com/nyc

Socialist Majority Caucus@socialistmajority.com

Voting for NYC-DSA Convention delegates is open! 🗳️ Check your inbox and vote for the SMC slate to grow our movement, defeat fascism, and deliver for the working class. Let's run AOC for president, elect another socialist slate in 2028, build the labor and youth movements, and demystify DSA.

It’s Spooky Season! 🎃👻 And I’m not just talking about Halloween, I’m talking about the Midterm elections— Our chance to scare the hell out of the oligarchs by showing up to vote in record numbers. 🗳️ Early vote Oct 24-Nov 1. Vote Nov 3. 🎥: @mallorymovies.bsky.social

This morning, I was proud to stand with @nyc-dot.bsky.social in Astoria to announce the expansion of the Red Light Camera Program to cover 600 intersections across our city. These cameras are an essential tool to change how drivers behave and to prevent red light running and fatal crashes.

Our district is no stranger to street safety advocacy, too often spurred by a preventable tragedy. But we don’t have to wait for another tragedy—we can & must prevent them. I know that the Astoria working parents who have reached out to our office will welcome this announcement.

Last week, New Yorkers raised over $1M for Palestinian refugees at the Gaza 5K. @jabaribrisport.bsky.social and I joined to let participants know about the Not On Our Dime! Act, our legislation to end tax-exempt status for organizations that fund Israeli war crimes. Free Palestine! 🇵🇸

I had the best time hanging out with 31st Ave Open Street and our neighbors last night! Our team and I reminded people to vote and gave out candy to Astoria’s cutest. 🥰 It was the perfect reminder of how badly we need family-friendly, car-free spaces in our neighborhood.

It was wonderful to join @nycwater.bsky.social this morning to deliver reusable water bottles to I.S. 235, after their Parent Coordinator reached out to our office for help. I’m so grateful to Principal Mosquea, her dedicated team, and students for showing us around.

A reminder to families looking for a great middle school next year to consider I.S. 235. Applications opened yesterday, Oct. 14, and are open until Friday, Dec. 11. You can access your student’s personalized online application through MySchools.nyc.

Israeli bonds are financially risky and morally abhorrent investments, especially after 3 years of genocide. Divesting NYC from them is the right thing to do. It’s time for @nyscomptroller.bsky.social to do the same at the state level.

Jewish Voice for Peace@jvp.bsky.social

BDS WIN: NYC rejects Israel bonds! After over a year of growing pressure from the Break the Bonds NYC campaign, City Comptroller Mark Levine has finally backed down from his dangerous and irresponsible pledge to reinvest the city pension fund in Israel Bonds.

This is a dangerous escalation towards authoritarianism. Trump’s deranged racist targeting of a sitting congresswoman paved the way to this moment. The President of the United States is an enemy of democracy. I stand with Ilhan.

Ilhan Omar@ilhanmn.bsky.social

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

It’s a beautiful day to stand with Amazon workers fighting for a union and the passage of the Delivery Protection Act! Amazon tries to squeeze everything from the workers who create Jeff Bezos’s obscene wealth. But they’re fighting back, and we’ve got their back! ✊🏽

As the only New York elected from Ecuador who represents Latino immigrants living through a political crisis, I reflected on what it meant to return to my homeland which is suffering from a parallel crisis of democracy in @democraticleft.bsky.social: democraticleft.dsausa.org/2026/09/28/a...

This week, I joined community leaders in touring Con Edison's Vernon Substation to learn more about the energy system powering our homes and businesses in Western Queens, and meet some of the union workers who operate and maintain it.

I was alarmed to learn that costs and wait time for materials needed to upgrade our energy infrastructure have increased exponentially due to data centers! This is another reason we need a federal moratorium on data centers, and for Gov. Hochul to sign the statewide moratorium bill into law!

Happy Rent Freeze Day! 🏠❄️ This month, we canvassed rent-stabilized buildings in Astoria to let our neighbors know that rents are frozen on leases starting Oct. 1 (TODAY!), their rights as tenants, and how to report violations. Organized tenants mobilized to win this. It’s up to us to defend it.

Thank you @actionlabny.bsky.social for inviting my colleagues and I to the NYS Childcare Alignment Table. This powerful event convened childcare providers, workers, parents, and unions to align on a vision for universal childcare that includes dignified wages and workplace conditions!

We are in a unique political moment to win big for both New York’s working families, and the workers who care for our precious children. I’m ready get to work and make taxing the rich to fund childcare a top priority for our office next legislative session. 🫡✊🏽✨

Earlier this month, we co-hosted a Career Fair with @cwenyc.bsky.social and the Chocolate Factory Theater to offer constituents pathways to strong union and public sector jobs. Thank you to District Council 9, NYC DCAS, and all the organizations who participated!

In this moment, New York must set a positive example for the country, not contribute to democratic backsliding. Let’s reinstate the Fired Fourth and pass the Academic Freedom Protection Act!

Last year, four Brooklyn College adjuncts were fired or not reappointed because they vocally opposed the genocide in Gaza. CUNY bosses thought they could get away with it—but the PSC proved them wrong. The Fired Fourth is next. psc-cuny.org/news-events/...

A hundred PSC members just took to the streets in Manhattan to picket outside the arbitration hearing of our unjustly fired colleague - the "Fired Fourth" - who has been blacklisted by @cuny.edu due to their advocacy for Palestinian human rights.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in Brooklyn & via livestream on Monday for a powerful Yizkor service. We enter 5787 refusing to look away from the ongoing genocide of Palestinians, remembering those killed, and recommitting to fight for freedom & safety for all—between every river & every sea.
