Two-thirds of NYers support city-owned grocery stores. Three-fourths support free buses. Nearly 80% support a rent-freeze.
I'm running for mayor to deliver these exact policies.
Our campaign is surging because unlike Andrew Cuomo, we know what working people need and deserve.

I think a lot abt how marginalized people are expected to be perfect just to be treated w/ basic dignity, just to access legal protection. But democracy can’t mean rights for the respectable few. It has to mean fair and just treatment even for those seen as least deserving. That’s the real test.

Sometimes I think abt my white friends whose parents helped them w their rent/to buy their first apartment/house. Some even gave them money for stocks as teens. And this was middle class.
Meanwhile EVERY Black/Indigenous young adult I know is helping or has helped their parents/siblings/etc.

I’m still figuring out what I’m going to do. I’m here, clearly, and I keep up with my Instagram. But I’m not a social media figure. I’m a writer. That’s what brought me to social media, and if social media isn’t the place for writers anymore, we’ll find each other some other way.

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.
You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

These are very good suggestions, but a few key ones are missing: attend library board mtgs and speak in favor (many are on zoom), donate $, and vote for measures and bonds to increase funding. Patrons have real power. Don't let a handful of bigots destroy your library.
One thing before tomorrow:
Use your local libraries.
Get your card.
Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.
Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).
Attend promoted activities.
Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.
Tell your kids that libraries are good.
They are.

Watching Mr. Rogers with my kids, one of whom just broke her collarbone.
“People don’t have to hurt anything or anybody when they’re angry. In fact, learning what to do with the mad that we feel is one of the most important things we can do when we are growing.”
