Today, I joined leaders and advocates from across Brooklyn in righteous opposition to the vicious SCOTUS ruling to prematurely end TPS for Haiti and Syria.
TPS holders are our neighbors, friends, and loved ones, and they deserve the promise of America as much as any of us.
Lorenzo Salgado Araujo spent each day of the last 35 years making this nation better. He was a loving father and husband, a hard worker, and everything an American should aspire to be. He was all that and so, so much more. But ICE didn’t even hesitate to make him its next victim.
New Yorkers know that one opportunity is all it takes to open the doors to endless possibilities. And that's why I hope you'll join us for our Job Fair on July 30th at Mt. Ararat Church, where that opportunity is waiting for you just around the corner!
Make sure to bring a
As just one out of the millions of Black women who have felt the terrible pain of uterine fibroids, my fibroids story is far from a unique one – and that’s the precise problem. This Fibroid Awareness Month, I call upon Congress to support the 80% of Black women who will develop

I am utterly appalled by his senseless killing at the hands of ICE, which the Trump Administration and Republicans in Congress continue to empower with obscene resources to spread fear and chaos to communities across the country. This tragedy demands accountability, and that can only begin with an independent investigation.
Today, a family is mourning an impossible loss. How many more must do the same before ICE’s reign of terror is brought to its end?

Charlie Kirk’s horrific murder was a tragedy, and anyone who says otherwise has no place in public service.
However, I will not pretend to respect the harmful ideologies he proudly held, nor will I honor a man who built a career out of dishonoring Americans like me.
I voted no.
Jimmy Kimmel’s firing was an absurd abuse of power – that’s why I joined with @repfrankpallone to demand an FCC Oversight hearing IMMEDIATELY so we can have an opportunity to hold Chairman Brendan Carr accountable for weaponizing the FCC against free speech and expression.
Trump is hellbent on whitewashing the African American experiences in this country. No matter how many signs or exhibits this administration removes from our nation’s museums or national parks, our history will not be silenced.
The American people have a right to know history in its entirety: the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly — and we have it all. History will record the fact that, on the orders of Donald Trump in the year 2025, all these historical artifacts were removed to distort the past to appease denialists.
As we mark the start of Hispanic Heritage Month, please join me in celebrating our beloved Latino neighbors!
Now more than ever, they deserve to know how deeply we value their cultures and contributions.
Now more than ever, they deserve to know we will always stand with them.
Donald Trump and the Republican Party are determined to drag this country back to a time when Black voices were shut out of the democratic process.
We will not allow it.
The stakes are far too high.
And this fight is far from over.
As we pause today to remember the lives lost on #September11th – a day that forever changed our city, our nation, and the way we live – join me in honoring the first responders, families, and communities who experienced unimaginable loss.
Like all proud daughters of New York City, I will never forget where I was on that fateful day, and the countless stories of bravery and unity that emerged from such a dark moment in time.
Wishing all of our city’s students, parents, teachers, and faculty a very happy First Day of School!
Another year, another special West Indian Day Parade alongside our dear friends and neighbors from across the diaspora!
Our cultures and communities are unlike any others, and that is why I am truly blessed to call myself a woman of Caribbean descent.
One Love, everybody!
