Repping District 37 | 💯 Grassroots | ❌Real estate or lobbyist 💵 | She/Her | Managed by our crew & Sandy
The conditions in our city jails continue to get worse, leading to upticks in violence and fatalities.

Overcrowded jails are not safe for people in detention or workers. This legislation will ensure we are fully and successfully making use of the work release program.

I introduced Intros 1419 & 1420 to move old liens to a public land bank and improve transparency on unresolved liens.

Grateful to the Abolish the Tax Lien Sale Coalition for leading this fight!

Shoutout to the San Antonio DOT for showing me their cool pavement pilot in action, which has now expanded!

By treating the hottest blocks across districts, surface temps went down by 10°F and ambient by 3°F. Climate solutions in practice work!

As the Trump admin attacks worker protections nationwide, I’m proud that today we passed my bill, Intro 780.

My bill expands safe and sick leave for more than 3 million New Yorkers, giving them more time to care for themselves and their families.

I also passed Intro 1242-A, one of the first bills to come from the Lippman Commission’s Blueprint to Close Rikers.

It establishes clear leadership and accountability for closing Rikers Island within City Hall and puts us on track to achieve the vision of a Renewable Rikers.
