The @mayor.nyc.gov of New York City has been in office for just weeks and is already outflanking a second-term governor and a third-term mayor. This moment demands proactive leadership, not public signals disguised as patience.

With that in mind, I am calling on @mayorjacobfrey.bsky.social, @mayorher.bsky.social, corresponding county board members and city council members, @governorwalz.mn.gov and the @metcouncilmn.bsky.social to act now. Specifically, I am calling for the immediate actions I listed:

We should not be enabling autocracy through planning.
We should not be enabling environmental collapse through “incrementalism.”
Down the road, what will we say?
That we made room for everyone, especially the most vulnerable and essential…or that we gave in when it mattered most?

When parking wins and people lose, it’s not just policy.
It’s precedent.
And when those in power ignore what’s just, what’s needed, what’s been asked for…that’s not democracy.
It’s autocracy disguised as process.

This may seem like a small decision—bus lanes, bikeways, a few parking spots.

We are told to “compromise.”
But compromise in the face of injustice is not progress.
It’s capitulation.
Dr. King warned that the greatest threat to justice was not the loud voice of extremism, but the appalling silence of the moderate.
