As NYWFP works to consolidate support around its slate of candidates, we're proud to rank @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #1 🥳

To give voters clear guidance, we're ranking a full slate of 5 candidates. When we unite, we can defeat Cuomo & elect a mayor who fights for us. Let's get this done!

Close the Gap! Our local electeds @CMCrystalHudson, @agounardes.bsky.social, and @phara4assembly.bsky.social sent a letter to @nyc-dot.bsky.social asking them to complete the protected bike lane and associated traffic calming on Ashland Place. They understand why this block is so important!

We call on the city to complete the protected bike lane and pedestrian improvements on Ashland Place!

We need the connectivity, walkability and sustainability improvements it would bring to Downtown Brooklyn and Fort Greene.
