🎉 🎉 🎉 A movement win that’s been a long time coming! We commend the Council and Mayor Mamdani, particularly COPA prime sponsor @sandynurse.bsky.social!
The bill would allow qualified buyers, like community land trusts or other owners with track records in preservation, first dibs on certain buildings when they go up for sale. citylimits.org/council-pass...

We join our allies at @weact4ej.bsky.social @foodandwater.bsky.social in opposing the new version of the #DirtyDeal. It’s a “bi-partisan” federal deal the oil & gas companies plus AI/data center developers are pushing hard to deregulate energy permitting. Contact your Senators & Reps to say NO!

Feliz día de la independencia de México! The rain vanished and it's great day to be out in the neighborhood. Governor Hochul, @governor.ny.gov, we're out in Sunset Park talking about the dirty fracked gas plant no one wants. Stop it to lower our bills and cut pollution!

Today, we proudly joined the @investinourny.bsky.social coalition to support the pied-à-terre tax, which would raise more than $500 MILLION in new revenue by taxing high-value second homes, helping address the city’s budget needs and fund critical services for New Yorkers.
9 NYCers arrested today blocking the entrance to ConEd’s HQ protesting high bills and high pollution. We want a #GasFreeNYC: ✅ lower bills ✅ good jobs ✅ less pollution @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social should implement and fund the agenda!

We’re knocking doors in the Bronx for a #GasFreeNYC ✅ lower bills ✅ less pollution ✅ good union jobs Via replacing old, dirty oil and gas boilers with modern, energy efficient heat pumps. This family loves what they did 👀 Cc: @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
The policy we’re pushing for: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Parts of NYC are about to start flooding. 😢 Climate change is accelerating. Stay safe! The city, led by @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, should build Green New Deal-scale policy, using Local Law 97 to cut pollution, drive good job creation & reduce energy bills. We need a #GasFreeNYC!
If you're in Sunset Park look out for us as we knock your block! We're organizing against the Gowanus fracked gas plant, which would raise utility bills and add tons of pollution if approved. Our members will be out doorknocking to make sure @governor.ny.gov stops the proposal.
📸 after a meeting in Bedford Park in the Bronx to give advice to homeowners on saving money, keeping your home. Utility bills was one of the major items. We took a photo to show support for Heat Pumps for All and a #GasFreeNYC @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social let’s get it going!

The issue here is the REC loophole, which is a regulatory decision the Adams administration made at the behest of the real estate lobby. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
@citylimitsnews.bsky.social wrote about it here: citylimits.org/potential-lo...
Hochul’s order, which is much weaker than the data center moratorium the legislature passed, attempts to make it look like she’s acting as the election looms. She’s doing everything she can, politically, to protect tech billionaires, developers & AI. Sign the bill, Hochul!
New York becomes the first state to impose a data center moratorium reut.rs/4pk3q0F
Thanks to Speaker Menin, Councilmenbers Gennaro, Marte, Aviles & others, NYC’s budget has small $ to start a program: ✅ cut energy bills ✅ create good, union jobs ✅ reduce pollution $2m, but not $10m. Could be the start of something truly great if @mayor.nyc.gov gets on board!
The program we’re talking about: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
This Eric Adams regulatory loophole allows billionaire owners to evade reducing 85% of the pollution coming from their office buildings. It’s REBNY’s play. If this real estate loophole isn’t closed, it will cost thousands of good jobs, raise energy bills & increase pollution. 🧵
Climate experts worry the launch of renewable energy credits could set back the city’s decarbonization goals, saying property owners could use them to offset their buildings' emissions in lieu of making energy efficiency upgrades. citylimits.org/potential-lo...
We support Mayor Mandani closing the loophole by rulemaking just as Eric Adams created it, or thru legislation, prime sponsored by @cndelarosa.bsky.social, to close it. That bill is Intro 159 in the NYC Council, bill memo here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

🚨RALLY HAPPENING NOW. CityFHEPS has proven to be the most effective tool the City has to address homelessness, which is why @mayor.nyc.gov must honor his promise to expand it. @vocal-ny.bsky.social @cmpisanchez.bsky.social @speakermenin.bsky.social @winnyc.bsky.social

All brings me back to 2012 and conversations when @gregtbasta.bsky.social when he was at @nychange.bsky.social & I was a a union.. the Voltron of building the power of NY’s left! Different neighborhood, ethnic groups, organizing models, agendas, working together.

Reminder to friends: Z won't be able to deliver his agenda unless the state legislature will hold the line against Governor Hochul and force her to #TaxTheRich. To do that, we need to win at least 7 Leftist Assembly primaries today. So if you can join us in the field anytime before 9pm, please do.
NYC, today is Primary Day. Polls are open NOW and close at 9 PM tonight. Be sure to get your vote in before then. For your polling site and more information, go to vote.nyc. Make your voice heard, New York City.
Banging doors in Cypress Hills for @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social and @cct4nyc.bsky.social ✅ tax the rich ✅ stop ICE ✅ insert some other talk point here we’ve knocked on so many doors we don’t even know what we’re saying anymore 😀
NYC’s pension funds can protect pension fund returns and tackle climate risk at the same time. They’re complementary, not contradictory! NYCC statement is response to @marklevinenyc.bsky.social announcement linked ⬇️

@nychange.bsky.social's been doing the hard groundwork in Southeast Queens of organizing— • Tenants; • Black + Brown homeowners who now risk displacement; and • Neighbors banding together against environmental racism. Their endorsement of @osterforus.bsky.social means a lot and matters materially.
I am grateful to earn the endorsement of New York Communities for Change. This organization has been on the ground fighting for homeowners- fighting deed theft and tax liens- and fighting for ice accountability. I look forward to organizing with them in the future.
