To those Muslims who will break fast in quiet rooms or night buses between late shifts, who will fast while making someone else’s food, who will pray in hidden stairways or nyc cement floors by their cabs, to those who will labor, without even a sip of water. Ramadan is yours.

I was 9 years old when I watched my Congresswoman wear a burqa in Congress to justify the invasion of Afghanistan. For the rest of my life, I knew that as a Muslim woman my identity would be weaponized to justify American wars. 20 years of war later, what did we accomplish?

Unions are feminist.
when Wisconsin removed collective bargaining for teachers in 2011, the wage gap absolutely exploded

NYC is very cold tonight and it will be colder tomorrow. We need permanent housing for asylum seekers and homeless people. We need an eviction moratorium during the winter. We need working heat in public housing and all housing. No one should be cold out on the streets or at home

Azsia Johnson was only 20 when she was shot and murdered by an ex two nights ago. 2/3rds of women killed by an intimate partner are killed with a gun. This is why anti-gun violence work is gender justice work. Gender violence is the silent pandemic that we can no longer ignore.

I'm grateful for the #NY12 district leaders standing up to the anti-democratic behavior of the NYS Democratic Party. It's already hard for progressive women of color from working-class backgrounds to run for office. It makes it a little easier when people have your back.

Democratic District Leaders representing @CarolynBMaloney ’s 12th Congressional District issue letter denouncing @JayJacobs28 for “anti-Democratic rhetoric.” Jacobs issued a statement targeting @ranabdelhamid who announced her intention to challenge Maloney in 2022.

This humiliation is what Palestinians face on a daily basis tenfold. We must end the violence and occupation against the Palestinian people. Call your member of Congress and tell them to support #HR2590 and @AOC 's bill to stop American taxpayers from funding this violence.

In just 6 months of this campaign, we raised $623,977. We knew from day one that this race will be a tough battle - and we can't win without the power of the grassroots. I am so humbled & grateful for everyone who helped us build this momentum & put us in a position to win.❤️

Our victory shows that we can overcome the billionaire class that wants to divide and conquer us all with fear and lies-for-profit, if only we come together across our differences for a positive vision of multiracial democracy. We can have nice things, if we fight. #PA12

I wish our party's leadership would fight as hard to protect our majority in Congress as they do to stop women of color from trying to represent our communities.

With all the focus on Jay Jacobs insulting women of color, it's easy to forget that he's also grossly incompetent.

What might they have been distracted by? (Among measures to fail: Same-day voter registration, no-excuse absentee voting, gerrymandering rules to benefit Dems…)

This afternoon, we delivered 5,023 signatures to get on the ballot for #NY12 . That's over 4 times the required amount! I can't even begin to explain the amount of gratitude I have for the hundreds of volunteers who put in thousands of hours to make this happen!
