Christine Fields' death was medical negligence. The Black maternal health crisis is threatening women across New York. Her life mattered, and her three children deserve justice. It's time for accountability & for the Grieving Families Act to be signed. #JusticeforChristineFields

Kicked off SOMOS, Inc. 2025 with @nysut.bsky.social panel on AI moderated by @sengonzalezny.bsky.social. The number one issue that states should focus on is regulating surveillance & privacy followed by the regulation of chat box usage by children under 13.

I partnered with @sengonzalezny.bsky.social, @mta.info, and Queensbridge Houses for an Access-A-Ride training at Riis Settlement. Seniors learned about the Access-A-Ride program, including tech support on the MTA app. My team also distributed government resources and connected with neighbors.

🎃Happy Halloween from Mary and her little lamb!🎃

I had a fantastic time handing out candy with my team, and chatting with families at Athens Park in Astoria and along Vernon Blvd for LIC’s “Trick or Streets.” To everyone celebrating tonight: stay safe, stay spooky, and have fun!

BIG NEWS! 🌟

Today I joined @governor.ny.gov, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, @sengianaris.bsky.social, and colleagues for the announcement of a $5 million investment by the Governor in the clubhouse.

This will make this clubhouse the largest in NYS! Excited for Astoria families!

I was proud to join the Governor and some of my colleagues in the legislature at her Hispanic Heritage Month Reception this week. The beautiful art at the Hispanic Society Museum was the perfect background to celebrate culture, diversity, & our hard work to make NY a liveable city for all people.

Shameful and alarming behavior from this Administration. AG Letitia James fights for public good, and NY is proud to have her.
Breaking News: Letitia James, New York’s attorney general, is said to have been indicted after President Trump pushed the Justice Department to seek charges against her. James, who is accused of committing mortgage fraud, brought a civil case against Trump in 2022. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...
