NYC Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice.
Former acting U.S. Labor Secretary & CA Labor Secretary. Lifelong civil rights & workers rights advocate.
In law school, we organized a symposium commemorating Stonewall at 25, brought LGBTQ+ leaders to campus, and published pieces on LGBTQ+ rights. As a mom, I brought my kids to visit the Stonewall Inn to learn about the history of civil rights that started there. Nice to see the flag flying proudly.🏳️‍🌈
NYCCHR Commissioner Christine Clarke was proud to stand w/ fellow New Yorkers to re-raise the #PrideFlag at the #Stonewall National Memorial, honoring the resilience of those who started the modern #LGBTQ movement. The fight for equality continues and NYCCHR is here to protect your rights! 🏳️‍🌈 #Pride

Today, @NYCMayor took a selfie with us (@LosDeliveristas), @TransAlt, @OpenPlans, + many more transportation advocate partners after committing to new bus lanes and bike lanes for workers and communities like us — the people who keep this city moving.

Thank you, @NYCMayor! 🚌🚲

Delivery workers keep our city running, rain or shine. I’m grateful for all they do—and for the chance to meet with them and Deputy Mayor Julie Su as we work to protect their wages and tips.

Zohran Mamdani has hit the ground running, taking on junk fees and wage theft to make NYC more affordable. I recently spoke with his Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice (and fellow former Labor Secretary) Julie Su about these early wins and what to expect next.

"We don't just care how people who sit in C-suites are doing. We care about how those who clean C-suites are doing too."

NYC Deputy Mayor Julie Su explains why we must center working people in economic policy-making.

Resharing something I wrote last summer (link below), when the reign of terror of this federal admin was in full swing. Since then, I took my other kid to Death Valley in December. And the brutal attacks on immigrants have expanded dramatically and their violence has escalated.

As the federal administration’s brutality and racism continue to escalate, I joined Robert Reich to say: attacking immigrant workers doesn’t help American-born workers. Protecting vulnerable workers improves standards and safety for everyone no matter where they were born.
Don’t believe the lies you hear about immigrant and undocumented workers.

The real villains are the greedy corporations that want workers fighting one another while they rake in record profits at all workers’ expense.

Proud to celebrate the talented members of the @wgaeast.bsky.social and share the same commitment to growing the industry & union jobs.
We’re committed to keeping NYC’s entertainment industry strong. 🎬

Yesterday, the WGAE joined @sagaftra.org, other members of the Film and TV Union Coalition and @nyclabor.bsky.social to discuss the future of entertainment in NYC with Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice, @juliesulabor.bsky.social.

First week of February. ❄️ It’s cold but it warms my heart to meet with and learn about the issues facing NYC’s workers—from union members who work on set 🎬 & behind the scenes 🎞️🎧 to those fighting for their first contract 💪🏾 like the @sesameworkersunion 🍪.

Important article by Chris Brooks about @uaw.org’s 1st contract with VW in Chattanooga, TN. I remember when the workers first voted to unionize. They saw the power of a union because of UAW’s history-making contract with the Big 3. Congrats to these workers for showing the way in the South!
After over 500 days of bargaining, the United Auto Workers have reached a first contract with Volkswagen in Chattanooga, Tennessee — a major breakthrough for unions in the South that lays the ground for further inroads at other employers across the region.

Like so many who grew up outside of NYC, I first fell in love with the city through what I saw on screen. Loved talking about the good union jobs that are created when tv, films, and live theater are made in NYC! Thank you, @rebeccadamon.bsky.social and @sagaftrany.bsky.social for hosting.
It was an honor for #SAGAFTRA to host Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice, @juliesulabor.bsky.social alongside members of the Film & Television Union Coalition & the @nyclabor.bsky.social. We had the chance to discuss the future of entertainment in New York City and to how to keep #NYC #UnionStrong!

Week 3. This week we protected consumers from hidden hotel junk fees, beat back a lawsuit by DoorDash and Uber to weaken driver protections (the law is meant to stop these cos. from taking $550 million in tips through app manipulation), and got the word out about 3-K and pre-K registration.

If you book a hotel for $200, you should pay $200.

Today, we shut down hotel junk fees and surprise credit card holds. The price you see is the price you pay.

This week, @mayor.nyc.gov stood with delivery drivers to take action against wage theft and worker exploitation. This lawsuit brought by @hellodcwp.bsky.social is not just an action against one company, it’s a warning to every app-based company from this Administration.

A New Era for Small Businesses in NYC. @mayor.nyc.gov issued an executive order to make it easier and more affordable to be a small business owner in NYC and I kicked off the Small Business Summit at the Barclays Center.

There is no economic justice without racial justice. I am thrilled to get to work with @mayor.nyc.gov & Afua Atta-Mensah to make this more than just a statement of principle.

New Yorkers deserve safe, reliable, affordable transportation where those who drive for a living are treated with dignity and respect. A strong @nyctaxi.bsky.social working in partnership across all agencies is essential to making sure that happens. Looking forward to working with Midori Valdivia!
Taxi drivers show up for New Yorkers day and night, carrying our families, our workers, our city. They deserve a government that shows up for them with the same consistency.
January 15, 2026 at 6:51 AM
Government should be all hands on deck to act boldly. Let’s grow industries that make this city vibrant, that reflect its beauty, diversity & creativity, and that bring good union jobs to NYC.
Today we commit to making New York affordable not just for artists, but for making art. We are proud to name Rafael Espinal as Commissioner of MOME as we stand with union workers and usher in a new golden age of NYC creativity.

Week 1. @mayor.nyc.gov Mamdani has made affordability and economic justice for New Yorkers a bedrock principle at the foundation of every policy decision. Whether it’s announcing universal childcare with @governor.ny.gov Hochul or forming Rental Ripoff listening sessions…
