New York City: The time has arrived. Finally, a chance to tell the city EXACTLY what your landlord’s been getting away with. NYC’s first Rental Ripoff Hearings are happening in all five boroughs, and we want to hear from you. Real New Yorkers. Real stories. Real policy changes.

From door-knocking in the smallest chapters to electing a mayor in NYC, everyone in DSA worked hard to build for this moment! We are proud of this organization and the roles played by R&R’s NPC member Sarah and NCC members Daniel, Sofia, and Eli in DSA and YDSA’s recruitment drives this year!

In a few short months, @DianaforQueens built an incredible coalition and ran a movement campaign that earned nearly 75% of the vote last night.
I'm grateful that she will serve out my term in the Assembly, and hopefully many to come. Astoria is in good hands.

A day after a historic citywide work stoppage in Minneapolis, Trump’s ICE paramilitary murdered a legal observer, ICU nurse, and fellow union member, Alex Pretti. We must abolish ICE and put its leaders on trial. No equivocation!

Abolish ICE, and put every single one of them on trial too.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.
ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

Alex Pretti was a colleague at the VA. We hired him to recruit for our trial. He became an ICU nurse- I lover working with him. He was a good kind person who lived to help and these fuckers executed him.
