Horrific to see Uganda pass one of the world’s cruellest anti-LGBTQ+ laws. People could be executed, and thousands exiled just because of who they love. This law is malicious and inhumane virg.in/UcxD

NY can raise the public $$ needed to meaningfully address the affordability crisis by raising taxes on NY’s richest.

Both New York Senate Dems & NY Assembly Majority have plans to do so. Governor Kathy Hochul - #TaxTheRich & invest in #NYSUniversalChildCare #RaiseTheWage #NewDeal4CUNY & more.

'Mayor Eric Adams, it's pure evil for you to urge people to wear masks indoors while at the same time moving my brothers and sisters into congregate shelters where they'll sleep unmasked 3ft apart, 30-50 to a room. It’s against CDC guidelines & against doctors' advice.' -Randy Edison

The Mandy K. Cohen, MD, MPH just said: “This moratorium is the right thing to do to keep people in their homes and out of congregate settings where COVID-19 spreads.”

I wonder what she & CDC think about the fact that NYC is moving people out of hotels and *into* congregate shelters?

Interesting to see Eric Adams’ stand on Cuomo now…

Thank you to (((Stephen Levin))) 🟣, who championed this bill, & to our Housing Works community & the broad coalition of activists who pressured the Mayor nonstop to implement it ASAP. 1/2

So grateful for everyone who joined us and to Ayanna Pressley and Cori Bush.

Here’s hoping that science and reason prevail and that NYC stops the transfers of people into congregate shelters in the midst of a surge of the highly transmissible delta variant COVID.

Tax the hell out of Stephen Ross, tear down his deadly billionaire staircase to nowhere, and take back the $5.6 billion in public subsidies he got for his sick, twisted development scheme

IN CASE YOU DIDN'T KNOW LA JUST CRIMINALIZED HOMELESSNESS

We tried 50+ years of criminalization against people who use drugs.

Yet, overdose rates are skyrocketing.

We need a new approach, one focus on health, not prohibition.

After an action Thursday, we successfully negotiated for a meeting between Mayor Eric Adams's #2 and Randy Edison + NYers currently in hotels, to #StopTheTransfers . Among the questions, Are we supposed to wear masks while we're sleeping? Do our lives matter less than other people?

Every hour & 48 minutes someone dies of an overdose in N.Y.

With today’s welcome decision to activate Intro 146 in September, Homeless Services has the opportunity to house people directly from hotels without them having to return to shelter.

It’s really unfortunate that it has come to this and that transfers will continue this weekend.

An activist after our own hearts. Thank you Cori Bush.

Now we need the mayor to stop the hotel transfers and homeless sweeps. I’m happy to block Broadway again and even more if that is what it takes!

Happy Friday!

RT if you think today would be a great day for President Biden to cancel at least $50,000 of student loan debt per borrower. He can and must.

Mayor Eric Adams Ruben Diaz Jr. Glad u r highlighting the BX but there are thousands of NYers u r transferring to deadly covid congregate shelter spaces when they could just stay in the hotels. #StopTheTransfers
