On this Trans Day of Remembrance, we remember the bright and courageous trans people whose lives were stolen by hatred. Their absence is felt across our city.
We will honor them by building a New York where every trans person can live safely, fully and freely.

Americans want a fairer economy. Trump Republicans won’t deliver one.
Instead, Trump and his allies are readying more tax cuts for big corporations and the wealthy and regulatory rollbacks.
They’re preparing to hand the country over to billionaires.
