✍️ with @AMGraceLee for @CityLimitsNews We have fought for & secured cuts to the Shelter Rent Tax & funding for capital improvements but that’s not enough. We must revitalize & expand on the past success of the Mitchell-Lama program to address our city’s housing crisis.

“Mitchell-Lama was one of New York’s most successful projects, and the time has come for us to do it again,” write Assemblymembers @HarveyforNY and @graceleefornyc: bit.ly/4lHm9AU

The Plaza music events are part of the fabric of our community. @Brookfield wants to "improve" the space by installing astroturf replete with PFAs & micrplastics, despite 89% of tenants opposing due to health & environmental concerns, ruining the space for events like this.

@NYPDPC @NYPDCeremonial Thanks for wonderful night of community building with the spectacular NYPD Band on the Plaza at Waterside in NYC.

We must outlaw carriage horses. Ryder’s story is a tragedy and sadly all-to-common. Horses deserve to run free, not be forced to work in extreme conditions. This is inhumane and I will fight tirelessly alongside @nyclass until we get this done. nytimes.com/2025/07/21/nyr…

HarveyforNY's tweet card. A carriage horse named Ryder collapsed after a full day of work in the summer heat in Central Park. Three years later, his driver, Ian McKeever, was found not guilty.

Maintaining connections to family & community members is an important indicator of success upon release for incarcerated folks. Now, families in crisis will no longer have to face financial hardship just to stay connected. Thank you to @WorthRises nytimes.com/2025/07/22/nyr…

This is further evidence of the type of leader I know Zohran to be: someone who engages, has tough conversations, listens and learns. I believe him when he says he will work hard to combat antisemitism and all forms of hate in our city. nytimes.com/2025/07/15/bus…

HarveyforNY's tweet card. Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic nominee in the race for mayor of New York City, moved to distance himself from comments that sparked outrage during the primary.

The GOP weaponizing the real issue of antisemitism to attack our schools is wrong. While CUNY & others saw a rise in antisemitism, CUNY has responded w/ real solutions. GOP: ask why Trump admin officials have ties to antisemitic extremists. TY @PSC_CUNY for standing up for CUNY.

We shouldn’t accept the false choice of defending and expanding workers’ rights and protecting small businesses — they aren’t mutually exclusive. All delivery workers deserve a fair wage and labor protections and small businesses must have a supportive environment to thrive.

Sunday in the district started with a visit to our e-waste recycling event with the Lower East Side Ecology Center @Ewaste_NYC. Then, we connected with constituents & handed out resources at @NYCHA Straus Houses Family Day!

Welcomed New Zealand Parliament Member Tamatha Paul @NZGreens to our district! We met w/ @Avenues4Justice to discuss their work w/ justice-impacted & at-risk young people. Organizations like this are important to providing young people with opportunities instead of incarceration

Republicans’ weaponization of the DOJ to harass and intimidate transgender young people is an outrageous assault on privacy and bodily autonomy. The GOP agenda delivers nothing for working people and hides this fact by trying to appeal to its extremist wing. Pathetic.

The Justice Department subpoenaed confidential patient details from doctors and hospitals providing transgender medical treatment to minors. nyti.ms/3ImO5LF

Earlier today I convened a meeting with @ManhattanDA’s office, @SenGonzalezNY @CMCarlinaRivera @NYPD13Pct regarding drug use and sales on 14th Street. We must work together to improve the quality of life for all who use this street.

Happy 4th of July! Today, we commemorate the ratification of the Declaration of Independence and the establishment of the United States. At a time when so many of our values are being attacked, today is a reminder that resistance is a patriotic act.

Republicans have betrayed New Yorkers & the entire country by passing a bill that puts the crosshairs on working people. This is a wealth transfer from the poor to the rich that will leave millions w/o healthcare & essential benefits. Republicans should be ashamed & embarrassed.

NNBC News@NBCNews · Jul 3

BREAKING: Republican-controlled House passes President Trump's domestic policy bill package that would slash taxes, boost spending on immigration and the military, and impose cuts to Medicaid, SNAP and clean energy funding; bill now goes to President Trump's desk.…

Why would anyone vote for the Big Ugly Bill? We must stop Medicaid cuts which will leave over 1 million New Yorkers without the health care they need. Meanwhile, ICE agents will receive $40,000 bonuses for disappearing our neighbors and tearing apart families. This isn’t right.

RRep. Dan Goldman@RepDanGoldman · Jul 2

The Senate just passed Trump’s Big Ugly Bill, with even larger cuts to essential programs hundreds of millions of Americans rely on. 7m lose SNAP, 17m stripped of health care, tax cuts for billionaires that increase the deficit by $5t. And every ICE agent gets a $40,000 bonus.…

Hot dog, that was delicious! We had a blast handing out vegan hot dogs w/ @nyclass outside my office. Plant-based options reduce our carbon footprint, are better for us, & cruelty-free! As a vegan, I am happy to provide my constituents with opportunities to try vegan food. 🌭
