New York State Assemblymember (D/WF, Upper West Side/parts of Hell's Kitchen). Chair of Assembly Committee on Housing.
Pets must not be treated like property.

Proud that my new law with @sengianaris.bsky.social bans predatory lease agreements in online sales. These contracts have allowed pets to be cruelly repossessed from loving families simply over missed payments

Thank you Halle Berry for highlighting my package of menopause bills that I’m working to pass in #NYS. 💪

We MUST protect women experiencing menopause from discrimination and make menopausal-related health treatments more affordable.

Fired up and ready to make history.

I felt the dread of generations in my bones during a surprise visit to 26 Federal Plaza with @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social + @micahlasher.bsky.social this morning.

Trump is carrying out pure evil. And while the arc of the moral universe is long, we must forcefully bend it toward justice.

‼️Proud to stand with @nynurses.bsky.social as they demand a #FairContractNow.

Nurses are the backbone of our healthcare system, but reductions to frontline staff combined with upcoming federal cuts will harm workers and patients alike.

#NursesCareforNY and we must care for them.

Michael McKee was the juggernaut of the housing movement and his legacy will forever live on in the legions of activists he’s inspired.

His encyclopedic knowledge was legendary. His belief in justice defined him.

Proud to have been his friend. I’ll miss him dearly.

There is a well-documented link between animal cruelty & violence against humans.

Proud that my new law with Senator Hinchey will protect pets & people alike by requiring courts to consider animal cruelty crimes when issuing an ERPO to temporarily restrict access to firearms.

Algorithms designed to artificially drive up rents have created new opportunities for collusion & price fixing.

Proud that my new law will end this anti-competitive practice and help to level the playing field for tenants across the state.

Happy #GlobalCatDay and a big congrats to the Paw Project & @votealexlee.bsky.social for officially banning declawing in California!🐱

Proud to have sponsored New York’s first-in-the-nation law in 2019 banning the practice & thrilled to see the movement going nationwide. 6 states down, 44 to go!

‼️Message to Airbnb: NYC Council Intro 1107 may help your bottom line, but it will endanger access to rental housing for thousands.

Airbnb’s co-founder jumped at the chance to join #DOGE, so I wouldn’t count on them to now stand up for hardworking New Yorkers.

Honoring the life of the legendary king of lox, coffee, cheese, Saul Zabar, as well as his exacting standards of excellence for Zabars.

Saul will now forever grace the #WestSide’s 79th Street 1 subway station thanks to the @mta.info.

May his memory be a blessing.

‼️Donald Trump is waging war on American cities, spending billions to tear apart families, terrorize neighborhoods & further our descent into tyranny.

The people have the power. This moment requires us to forcefully speak out and tell Trump to keep #HandsOffNYC.

Trump and NY’s seven MAGA Congressional members are robbing four million of their healthcare during an affordability crisis.

This government shutdown is about right vs. wrong, humanity vs. vengeance.

With labor, we’re fighting for you every step of the way because healthcare IS a human right.

Undergoing chemotherapy doesn’t mean you have to lose your hair or identity.

Honored to celebrate the passage of my first-in-the-nation law with Senator Stavisky requiring insurance carriers to cover the cost of scalp cooling at @mskcancercenter.bsky.social. 🎉

Getting vaccinated against the flu is an act of resistance these days. 💉

Glad to have hosted my annual #WestSide flu shot day with @mountsinainyc.bsky.social.

The #NYSPSC’s bullshit reasoning for green lighting the #NESE pipeline is built on nothing more than a fantasy.

Governor Hochul must show Donald Trump who’s in charge by canceling his pet pipeline project.

#September11 is forever seared into the heart and soul of every American. But as we mark the 24th anniversary, it’s up to us to keep the heroism and bravery of that day alive for the next generation.

May we #NeverForget the stories of the more than 3,000 people who died on that day.

🚨New York State cannot be complicit in the lies that Donald Trump habitually spreads to undermine the tenets of our democracy.

Divesting from #TrumpMedia is a must.

I wrote to Governor Hochul earlier this week urging the NYS Department of Health to issue a non-patient specific standing order for the #COVID19 vaccine.

I’m glad that the Governor heeded the call, but we can’t stop there — #NYS must also direct insurance companies to cover the cost of vaccines.

Working for and with @nadler.house.gov is akin to taking a master class in decency.

Throughout his storied career, Jerry has wielded his uncanny intellect and deep knowledge to move issues across the democratic spectrum to build a better and brighter future.

On #SocialSecurity’s 90th anniversary, here’s a reminder that the Trump administration is working to dismantle one of our nation’s most successful anti-poverty programs.

We must not let them steal hard-earned benefits from millions of Americans.

That’s right — we on the #WestSide proudly stand up against Trump’s authoritarian ICE tactics. We’re not going to let federal agents whisk away our kids.

Thanks to Nicole Wallace for shining a light on this important story. @msnbc.com @nyicaction.bsky.social

RGB: you failed again.

My statement on tonight’s #RGB vote:
July 1, 2025 at 12:19 AM
We are drowning in plastic.

The chemical and plastics industry is spending millions to defeat #PRRIA while our environment and our health suffers.

We must put #PeopleOverPlastic & pass Assemblymember Glick’s Packaging Reduction
& Recycling Infrastructure Act in the Assembly!
