Today’s groundbreaking is the culmination of years of organizing by residents and community leaders for solutions to North Brooklyn's housing crisis.

Dozens of homes and businesses across Queens and the surrounding boroughs suffered major damage, and many are still working to get back on their feet.

You know how we win? Not by chanting, but by knocking on doors.

We need to bring a national standard to ICE agents, and we need to bring transparency and accountability.

When agents hide their faces and identities they create chaos, fear, and open the door to abuse.

If their operations are legitimate and above-board, why is there a need for anonymity, and why don't they need warrants to come onto private property?

I don’t trust Elon Musk with this information, and I know the American people don’t, either.

Do you trust Elon Musk with your most personal financial information, tax records, your Social Security numbers?
