A victory for the Sunset Park community who have advocated for change for years, and a powerful example of mayoral leadership on safer streets.
NEW from @kduggan16: Mamdani Finally Advances Redesign of Deadly Brooklyn Corridor Shelved by Adams
“Preventable traffic deaths are not inevitable, and we will not accept them as the price of getting around our city.”

We can pull down a HUGE increase in federal public funding via s8 while retaining nycha ownership, resident leadership and decision making, and major public control. I find this so hopeful and inspiring, and am excited to do more with NYers here. (2/2)

NYCHA maintains ownership of the building, and the land. Oversight is significant, as is the major increase in the level of public investment! These are just facts

“The right to barbecue with family on the weekend, to buy a little picanha, to that piece of picanha with the fat dipped in flour, and to a glass of cold beer.”
Lula has fought for the poor with a tenacity and a moral clarity that inspires so many around the world. What a hero.
One month ago, I sat down with President Lula to discuss how government serving poor and working people. Weeks later, Brazil took a historic step: a 40-hour workweek, at least two days off and no cuts to pay for more than 30 million workers.
Workers fought for decades to win the five-day workweek in America. Brazilian workers have fought for this victory, too. I congratulate them on this achievement.
Working people deserve time to live, not just work. Building a better future means giving people more of their lives back. And we’ll keep fighting for it.

The future of the Amazon, and prospects for a habitable earth, could depend on whether Lula defeats Bolsonaro for president of Brazil. trib.al/DyBd5Tr

These @NYCHA residents have fought to reopen their senior center for 25 years. Today, we're delivering — along with a renovated community center, child care center and modernized apartments for 5,000 residents.
The Edenwald Houses and their powerhouse Tenant Association, led by president Walter McNeill, are finally getting the investment they deserve.
We will continue to fight for the investment that all NYCHA residents need.

Today we joined Edenwald Houses TA president Walter McNeill, @NYCMayor, and leaders from across the Bronx to celebrate the reopening of the senior center (closed for 25 years!), community center and child care center at Edenwald.
These centers are part of the comprehensive renovations at Edenwald enabled by the PACT program, which is delivering building-wide systems upgrades, completely revamped apartments, new outdoor spaces, and more for over 5,000 residents. We'll continue working to deliver these investments with @NYCHA residents across the five boroughs, and we’ll be working to ensure accountability after conversion, too.

NEW: The City Planning Commission, already getting some new powers to approve "fast track" affordable housing projects, is also getting some new faces—if the City Council approves. Story on @NYCMayor's nominations in @CityLimitsNews 👇

The rumors are true. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you...12,000 2-K seats!

NEW: Mayor Mamdani led 100+ NY electeds in urging parking lot owners in all five boroughs to keep ICE off their lots.
"Our neighbors should not live in fear that the parking lot down the block could become a staging ground for an operation that puts their communities at risk," said @NYCMayor.

🔨 BUILD, BABY, BUILD 🏠🔥 -- East New York just got the keys to nearly 400 brand-new, permanently affordable homes, and Brooklyn showed up big for it. Gov. Kathy Hochul @GovKathyHochul and Mayor Zohran Mamdani @NYCMayor cut the ribbon on the Christian Cultural Center’s Innovative Urban Village, a 20-year dream for Rev. A.R. Bernard that’s finally standing tall 🙏🗽
The state put up $190 million, 94 of those apartments go to New Yorkers climbing out of homelessness, and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries @RepJeffries was right there cheering it on 🇺🇸💪 Hochul summed it up in four words: build, baby, build 🔨
Gotham Organization, Monadnock, the Local Development Corporation of East New York, NYS Homes and Community Renewal and NYC HPD all helped make it happen, and this is only phase one 🏗️💯

The federal government tried to turn our public servants into deportation agents and force New York City to carry out ICE’s cruel agenda.
Today, a federal court rejected that effort and upheld our laws.
Every New Yorker deserves to seek help from their city without fear of being targeted for deportation. We will stand by our immigrant neighbors, defend our laws and protect the promise that this city belongs to all of us.

Yesterday I joined faith leaders, congregants, and community organizers from @MetroIAF, whose decades of grassroots organizing have helped make the priorities of working New Yorkers a political reality.
We discussed the progress our administration has made on issues like public safety and homelessness — and how we can deepen our partnership to create lasting change.

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 angry tonight.
Because today ICE shot a New Yorker. They shot a New Yorker while his five year old child was in the car.
ICE makes this city less safe.
We want them out. Now.
Casey Berkovitz retweeted
Mamdani: This city wants ICE out. We want ICE out of our city. ICE out of our schools. ICE out of our hospitals, ICE out of our streets. ICE away from our kids. We want that because we want to keep the city safe. We do not need them to do so. All they do is terrorize the city.
