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
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
Vote @nywfp.bsky.social up and down the ballot (including to re-elect me!) and vote YES on the five questions on the back of your ballot to make NYC government work faster and more efficiently. Learn more at vote.nyc.
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.
I look forward to working with DOT and my colleagues in Albany to secure funding for additional red light cameras and other street safety measures we need. It was great to join @sengonzalezny.bsky.social @familiesforsafestreets.org @transalt.org for this morning’s announcement!l
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! 🇵🇸

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.
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.
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.

I am proud to sign onto this statement. #AbolishICE is the floor - NOT the ceiling.
ABOLISH ICE. END NYPD VIOLENCE. 17 New York State Socialists in Office and Democratic nominees respond to Thursday’s shooting of Oscar Belgal and call to abolish ICE, end NYPD assistance of ICE, and disband NYPD’s SRG.
My joint statement with @tiffanycaban.bsky.social calling on @nycparks.bsky.social to pause the RFP process for the proposed tennis bubble in Astoria Park:
We’re running…the Gaza 5K! @jabaribrisport.bsky.social, @illapa.nyc, Aber Kawas, and I are joining NYC-DSA's Running Club to run the UNRWA Gaza 5K in Prospect Park and support mental healthcare for children in Gaza. We’ll also have volunteers flyering for the Not On Our Dime! Act. Join us Sunday!

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...

New York Assemblymember Diana Moreno discusses the collapse into violence of her native Ecuador with U.S. collusion.

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!
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!

We must do more to prevent retaliatory firings from happening in the first place. That’s why I was proud to work with the PSC and @salazarsenate.bsky.social to introduce the Academic Freedom Protection Act, which empowers faculty and staff to speak out and organize. psc-cuny.org/clarion/onli...

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.
FUND PEOPLE NOT BOMBS! I joined 400+ protesters, including @melatkirosco.bsky.social @chrisrabb.com @darializaforny.bsky.social @hamawyfornj.bsky.social, ahead of war criminal Netanyahu’s UN speech. We're calling for an end to genocide, an end to U.S. funding to Israel, and a Free Palestine.

Thank you to @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social, @jfrejnyc.bsky.social, @jvp.bsky.social, and Congregation Kolot Chayeinu for creating a beautiful and moving Yizkor service yesterday during Yom Kippur. I feel ready to recommit to a year of solidarity and steadfastness. G’mar tov.
Collective grief as remembrance. Collective action as prayer. I had the honor of observing Yom Kippur with @jfrejnyc.bsky.social @jvp.bsky.social @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social at Yizkor, a public ritual to remember the dead, refuse our complicity, and recommit to each other and to free Palestine.

To get around our city, New Yorkers are buying devices that they've been led to believe are safe and legal. Often, they're neither. This bill from @sengonzalezny.bsky.social @dianaforqueens.com will end the sale of these deadly high-speed devices and fully ban their predatory marketing.

We were proud to stand with @sengonzalezny.bsky.social and @dianaforqueens.com this morning to introduce their new bill aimed at prohibiting the sale of illegal, dangerous high-speed e-moto devices, a big step toward safer streets across New York State! www.nysenate.gov/legislation/...
