Zohran Mamdani won a historic victory yesterday in New York City's mayoral election, and 17 of our 18 endorsees won their races up and down the ballot, proving once again that safer streets and better public transit aren't just good policy – they're good politics! www.streetspac.org/2025_general...

Intro 1332 is essential as both a worker-protection measure and a street-safety initiative. Fear of deactivation forces delivery workers to prioritize speed over safety, putting themselves and others at risk. Rally Thursday at City Hall at 12:30pm ahead of the City Council vote to urge a yes vote!

This is a contra flow lane, btw. So people who encounter this going north will either ride on the sidewalk or into oncoming 🚙 traffic. 🐂 💩
