The future of gig work won't be decided by platforms, but by workers organizing for power. Such a pleasure to delve into what this next chapter should look like with such esteemed colleagues, and thanks to @CWENYC for convening us!

We could not be happier that our board members @MarcoACarrion and @MooreProgress were just appointed to the mayor's new commission Public transit is the most efficient way to get around our city and we look forward to Marco and Theo leading this bold effort across the government
This morning we are introducing COGE — the Commission on Government Efficiency.

This Commission will find ways for our city to work smarter, faster, and more effectively for working people. 

New Yorkers deserve a city government as careful with their money as they are.

We were honored to join @QnsBPRichards for a great conversation on how we can fight for working people in this city ✊
In this borough, we believe in union building, not union busting. Because we believe that organized labor will help unlock a brighter future for Queens. Communication is the key to advocacy, however. Boosting that was exactly the point of my office's Labor Luncheon yesterday.
