Ramadan Mubarak from Gaza, where our people break their fast among the rubble of homes bombed by israel, fueled by weapons from the U.S. This isn’t just about resilience, it’s about survival in the face of a genocide, upheld by those who preach ‘human rights’ while starving and slaughtering Palestinians. But even as they try to break us, our spirit, our history, and our resistance remain unshaken. This Ramadan, we pray not just for patience, but for justice, for liberation, and for the end of this U.S.-backed zionist violence.🇵🇸 #RamadanUnderSiege #Gaza #FreePalestine #WithinOurLifetime

Big banks systematically harm communities of color. A NYC public bank would reinvest billions in new lending to build real financial power. @CSSNYorg's David R. Jones makes the case—it's time for lawmakers to act. Read his powerful column in @NYAmNews: amsterdamnews.com/news/2025/…

NYC puts people over profit. The recent "clawback" of $80 million in FEMA funding—enabled by Citibank—proves we urgently need to divest from big banking and create a public bank, as we and @PublicBankNYC have demanded. From @LESPeoplesFCU's Linda Levy: nydailynews.com/2025/02/26/a…

When the Trump administration hijacked $80 million from NYC coffers, @Citibank was all too happy to oblige. In a powerful @NYDailyNews op-ed, Linda Levy of @LESPeoplesFCU, demands answers and calls for a public bank to better serve the city's interests. nydailynews.com/2025/02/26/a…

A public bank would keep NYC’s money secure—shielded from federal overreach and working for the public good.
Comptroller Brad Lander at 1 Centre St talking about how Trump and Elon Musk took $80m from NYC bank accounts yesterday afternoon. “Am I concerned about the security of the city's bank accounts as a result of this? I am concerned.”
