Dear John,

We’re making three urgent demands to get ICE out of New York—including passing my bill, the NYC Trust Act. ICE’s violent targeting of immigrant communities is an attack on our city’s values and our neighbors’ humanity.

New Yorkers deserve to attend court, go to school, and live their daily lives without fear of abduction. We must meet this moment with action.

📣 Join elected officials, organizations, and advocates this Thursday, September 25 at 6 PM in Foley Square to demand justice and dignity for our immigrant neighbors!

Rosh Hashanah

As we welcome the arrival of Rosh Hashanah, I extend my heartfelt wishes to everyone in our community who is celebrating. This sacred holiday marks the beginning of the Jewish New Year, a season of reflection, renewal, and hope.

May the year ahead bring peace, health, and joy to you and your loved ones. Shana Tova!
