In the richest city on Earth, 40% of NYC families can’t afford weekly food costs, and food prices are up 33% over the past decade.

It’s time for a city government that puts affordability at the top of the agenda.

He bought Intel bonds after directing the government to acquire a stake in the company.

He bought Meta bonds while pushing AI-friendly policy.

Trump isn’t governing — he’s cashing in.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

It's time to acknowledge reality:
 
Our health system is broken. It's time to guarantee good-quality care to every man, woman & child in this country.
 
Our campaign finance system is broken. It's time to get rid of Citizens United and publicly fund elections.
 
Let’s do it.

4.5 million children are living in poverty. Our climate is burning. Palestinians are being erased in a genocide.

Up and down the country, people are demanding real change.

None of us will ever give up in our common struggle for a more equal, sustainable and peaceful world.
