Earlier this year, I passed a bill that will require employers in NYC to disclose salary information to job applicants on their ads. This is critical in the fight for economic equity and I am excited to see this law go into effect today.

If I tweeted my real feelings about white supremacist and the shooting in Buffalo I would have 1000 articles written about me more than likely calling for my resignation so instead I tweet this and the other tweet posted by team! #MoreThanOutraged on numerous fronts …

Taking the train today into the city from Queens, I haven’t done this in a while and I’m reminded that traveling on public transportation from an outer borough is a struggle, we MUST do more for transit deserts !

Until now, people with criminal convictions have faced significant barriers when trying to obtain housing. The Fair Chance Housing Act aims to eliminate discrimination against people with criminal convictions by requiring landlords to consider an applicant's ability to pay rent

New Yorkers are frustrated with the state of sanitation in our city.We see overflowing litter baskets, garbage bags on the street illegal dumping & rats dashing across our sidewalks.We must invest more into our sanitation department because the current funding is just not enough.

First off I hate the word “convict” I prefer justice involved or formerly incarcerated !
@CMNantashaW resolution for the state bill #CleanSlate Act passed 43-7 by @NYCCouncil . If the bill was enacted, former convicts who manage to keep a clean record and finish parole or probation will have their records wiped. ow.ly/uEwm50Jj3lG qchron.com/editions/queenswi…

Homelessness is a crisis that needs to be addressed appropriately. Removal of these encampments is not the right response. While we know the encampments are not sustainable we need to find a more humane solution to this issue.

Roadway safety is a major issue in our community. Thank you to @StreetsblogNYC for highlighting these numbers and raising awareness. I’m looking forward to working with the new administration to address this concern.
Just in time for the new Adams administration, we crunched the numbers and found the five most-dangerous neighborhoods for pedestrians and cyclists. H/t @nantasha2021 @LincolnRestler @OsseChi @RitaJosephNYC and Charles Barron for recognizing the problem:

Congrats Justin !!
We won! Despite being up against a red wave driven by misinformation, lies, and one of the dirtiest campaigns southern Brooklyn has ever seen - we prevailed. We refused to be defined by simplistic right or left labels. We refused to be defined by the falsehoods of my opponent.
