I introduced Intros 1419 & 1420 to move old liens to a public land bank and improve transparency on unresolved liens.

Grateful to the Abolish the Tax Lien Sale Coalition for leading this fight!

NOW IN EFFECT

✅ Local Law 140, sponsored by @cmsandynurse.bsky.social

This law requires the establishment of an Office of Coordinator for Rikers Island Closure that will be responsible for coordinating actions and policies by agencies with a role in the closure of Rikers Island.

Shoutout to the San Antonio DOT for showing me their cool pavement pilot in action, which has now expanded!

By treating the hottest blocks across districts, surface temps went down by 10°F and ambient by 3°F. Climate solutions in practice work!

As the Trump admin attacks worker protections nationwide, I’m proud that today we passed my bill, Intro 780.

My bill expands safe and sick leave for more than 3 million New Yorkers, giving them more time to care for themselves and their families.

I also passed Intro 1242-A, one of the first bills to come from the Lippman Commission’s Blueprint to Close Rikers.

It establishes clear leadership and accountability for closing Rikers Island within City Hall and puts us on track to achieve the vision of a Renewable Rikers.

These measures will better pay and conditions on the job for grocery workers and protect street vendors from unnecessary criminalization

These efforts were led by sponsors CM Krishnan @cmsandynurse.bsky.social @cmjengutierrez.bsky.social and movement fed up with the status quo

Not only did a supermajority of the @council.nyc.gov pass Int. 1135, but his own agency enthusiastically supports the bill. If the Mayor wants to lose yet another battle with the Council we’ll oblige him.

I look forward to continued oversight of DOP to ensure staff get the support they need and that DOP stays focused on its core mission:

Keeping people out of custody and setting them up for success in our communities.
