🚨 @nycmayor : Veto 175-B! 🚨
We’re joining 100+ orgs, unions, and thousands of New Yorkers demanding @NYCMayor veto Intro 175-B by Friday 4/25.
This bill expands NYPD power to limit protest and gatherings outside of broadly defined “educational facilities” and makes our communities less safe, especially students, families, and communities of color. At a time when dissent is under attack nationwide, NYC should be protecting our rights, not restricting them.
📍 Show up:
Vigil for Our Rights
Parents & community members rally
Thursday at 5 PM
Tweed Courthouse
Let’s make it clear: we want safety, not censorship.
#NoTo175B

This weekend BKForge joined forces with @bkyoungdems and @men4choice to expose fake clinics. We reviewed 75 crisis pregnancy centers around New York State, which will help consumers more easily recognize fake clinics in their area. Thank you to @joannesimonforbrooklyn for stopping by to share info on her fake clinic legislation. And big shout out to @principlesbk for hosting us ☕️
I have a proud history of standing with @bkforgeahead . They’ve valiantly been at the forefront of battles to safeguard access to abortion and gender-affirming care.
In Congress, I will always stand up to the Trump administration as we fight to codify Roe and protect the dignity of trans New Yorkers.
‼️Our members voted, and we are thrilled to announce our endorsed candidates for this primary election cycle! Stay tuned for ways to get involved in these races and help elect true repro champions!
@brad.lander has a decades-long record of progressive accomplishments and community engagement. As an affordable housing advocate and urban planner leading the Fifth Avenue Committee, as a City Council member and cofounder of the Progressive Caucus, and as New York City Comptroller, he’s fought for New York’s working families. We’re excited to join a broad coalition to talk to voters about Lander’s unique leadership experience, demonstrated progressive values, and vision of a New York City that is affordable and welcoming for everyone.
@votejgr has been a trailblazer in the state assembly and a leader in her district. In the 2024 budget season, Assembly Member González-Rojas secured $25 million to codify her legislation to establish the Reproductive Freedom and Equity Fund, which provides critical funding to abortion providers and the New York Abortion Access Fund to expand access to reproductive health care for all New Yorkers. We’re thrilled to lend our support for González-Rojas’s state senate campaign and vision for a more just and people-powered NYC and state.
We were out today in support of both @handsoffnyc and @ourtimefornyc spreading the word about taxing the rich and what to do if you spot ICE in your neighborhood. Shout out to @loftypigeonbooks for hosting us!
Join BKForge on February 21 to encourage neighbors to take action in support of universal childcare with @ourtimefornyc and distribute know-your-rights information with @handsoffnyc .
