We weren’t ready for this storm

  There was water in my ground level bedroom last night, and probably many of yours too. We walked into the office this morning to a leaking ceiling and pools of water on computers and desks. Last night NYC broke the rainfall record – set only just last week – with more than 3.15 inches o…

message for John

One of the things I am most grateful for is how this community shows up. No matter the challenge, you come together to support each other, confront injustice, and build a movement for change bigger than ourselves. We won in June because you showed up for me. None of it would have been poss…

i can’t do it alone

Winning transformative change for our city isn’t something I can do by myself. Not as just one council member, and not as NYC’s next Comptroller either. To change the status quo and take bold steps towards a future in which every New Yorker has safe and stable housing, quality education, b…

two truths and a lie
