It’s a crisis, not just for families and their children, but also for the workers who take care of those children.

I am not running to defund the police.

It is beyond me that politicians are looking to use these days to score such cynical political points, on the very day that I held the father of Officer Islam in my arms and he could not utter a single word.

I will not defund the police.

I’m heartbroken to learn of the horrific shooting in midtown and I am holding the victims, their families, and the NYPD officer in critical condition in my thoughts.

Grateful for all of our first responders on the ground.

We are facing an authoritarian administration in Washington, D.C. We are facing a president who is seeking to attack the very fabric of this city.

We will redirect city funds from corporate supermarkets to city-owned grocery stores whose mission is to lower prices, not price gouging.

If there was any system that could guarantee each person housing — whether you call it the abolition of private property or you call it a statewide housing guarantee — it is preferable to what is going on right now.

I will fight for a city that works for you, that is affordable for you.

The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported. Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city.

My interest is a partnership, not in the politics.
