👀Read @TheRevAl sending a direct message to @transportworker @TwuSamuelsen @kemp_mr : “I have fought for workers my entire life, and I know what real solidarity looks like. It does not look like this. Standing up for carriage drivers cannot mean chaining their futures to a dying trade that risks lives every time a horse panics in traffic. The mayor and the Council are ready to help with retraining and real jobs that carry a living wage and benefits. That is what Romanch’s Law, named for the young man this city lost, is built to deliver. A union president serving his members would be at that table, not carrying out a feud in the headlines aimed at whichever woman in public life has most recently drawn his ire. Philadelphia, Chicago, San Antonio, Paris and London have already moved on from carriages. New York can too. Our leaders should retire a relic that endangers people and animals alike, and retire, once and for all, the small and nasty politics used to defend it. We can welcome the world to New York without tragedy. We can honor workers without trapping them. And we can prove once again that this city meets change not with grievance, but with common sense and compassion.” nydailynews.com/2026/10/14/a…
