Last week, I joined other public school parents at a hearing to speak out against mayoral control of our public schools. Budget cuts are our mayor’s No. 1 priority. So why does he have near-total power over our public schools?
I say it’s time to give the power to the parents!

Wow! You all have blown me away. We hit our reach goal of $30,000! Can you help us get to $32k by midnight? secure.actblue.com/donate/eon-h...
I'm honored to be endorsed by 8(!!!) socialist state legislators today. They've fought tirelessly against austerity in Albany, and when there are 11 of us up there, we’re going to win some historic victories for working NYers!

Had a great time with the Kosciuszko Block Association holiday party yesterday. It included a toy giveaway for the kids, hot chocolate, and even a visit from Santa! 🎄❄️
From the North Pole to Nostrand Avenue, I’ll always show up (and spread joy) for my community.
Yesterday was incredible. The outpouring of support from family, friends, neighbors and comrades was unbelievable.
Together, we hit our goal and raised over $7,500 ‼️ We have a long road to victory, but I am energized & ready to fight for my community.✊🏽

Let’s do this!
Our campaign is built by Brooklyn's own: neighbors, workers, and everyday Brooklynites — not by special interests. I don’t take a dime of corporate money. I’m accountable first and only to the working families of Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights.
Join us ✊🏾⬇️ secure.actblue.com/donate/eon-f...
Together, we can build a Brooklyn where it’s easy to put people over profit: where every child attends a beautiful school and lives in a good, safe home, where families can enjoy beautiful parks and playgrounds, where our families can live in dignity now and in retirement.
⚕️Healthcare is a human right: We all deserve high-quality healthcare — regardless of employment or immigration status.
It’s time to invest in our public hospitals, in our healthcare workers, and in a system motivated by health justice, not corporate greed.
✊🏾Unions for all: Workers deserve a say in their workplace, period. As a retail worker, I know the power of a union. I served on the bargaining committee of Workers United Local 340, where I fought alongside co-workers to secure — and win — better job security and wages.
🎒Invest in our schools: I am a parent advocate and former PTA president. My wife has worked as a public school teacher for 18 years. I believe all children deserve a world-class public education. That begins with fully-funded public schools and a New Deal for CUNY.
🏘️Beautiful homes: I’ve lived in NYCHA. I know firsthand its power as a force for stability for the working class, and the devastation wrought by its continued underfunding.
We need to pass good cause eviction and invest in beautiful social housing to keep families in their homes.
I know what it's like to support a family paycheck to paycheck, to worry about choosing between rent and medicine. In a time when our families and communities are facing real threats, we deserve a leader who fights alongside us, and puts our neighborhoods first.
Here’s my plan:
Unfortunately, many of our elected leaders are part of the problem — instead of protecting renters and investing in our public schools, legislators in Albany block needed reforms and line their pockets with donations from the real estate and charter school industries.

Every day, working-class families like yours and mine, who make Bed-Stuy and Crown Heights the vibrant, artistic and beautiful communities they are, are being priced out, and watching as schools and life-saving services are gutted to benefit billionaire profits.
Every family deserves to live in a thriving community that puts people first. You shouldn’t have to be rich to get the healthcare you need, send your kids to high-quality schools, or live in a safe, healthy home.
Stand up for Brooklyn. Eon Tyrell Huntley for Assembly.
Hello BROOKLYN! My name is Eon Tyrell Huntley. I’m a father, tenant, socialist and lifelong Brooklynite who's always stood up for my community.
I'm running to represent the working families of District 56 because we all deserve beautiful homes, beautiful schools and a beautiful Brooklyn.🧵
