AMNY Keith Powers: It’s time to modernize SEQRA to ensure responsible development

@keithpowersnyc.bsky.social

Assemblymember @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social is a true @uft.org ally. His work to give #RESPECTforParaprofessionals on the City Council last year, has provided us with early momentum in 2026.

In Albany, we can’t wait to support our teachers & #FixTier6 together!

Opinion: New York needs graphic warnings at gun stores Visual notices about the dangers of firearms would grab attention, communicate serious hazards quickly and leave a lasting impression.

We cannot accept gun violence as inevitable.

That’s why I’ve partnered with @ebottcher.bsky.social to require gun stores to show graphic images that reflect the reality of having a gun in the home.

Read our op-ed on why we should make danger impossible to ignore👇

I can’t think of a deadlier consumer product that should have a graphic health warning at the point of purchase. Tomorrow at 2:00 PM in Albany, I’m unveiling State legislation with Assemblymember @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social requiring graphic visual warnings in gun stores across New York State

Proud to call Ryder a friend — and very proud to support him for Assembly.

The bulky, green sidewalk scaffolding that wraps around many buildings in New York City is as familiar a sight as rush-hour traffic — and just as reviled. But on Tuesday, city officials unveiled six designs that reimagine the structures. nyti.ms/3XxvNLU

New York City’s Scaffolding Gets a Long Overdue Makeover

We're finally shedding the ugly green scaffolding!

Back in April, I passed a new law to overhaul NYC's broken scaffolding system.

Today, @NYC_Buildings unveiled new designs "in the biggest reimagining of the city’s ubiquitous sidewalk sheds in decades."

NOW IN EFFECT

Local Law 128, sponsored by Keith Powers

This law codifies NYC’s cooling center program, requiring the commissioner of NYC Emergency Management to designate cooling centers during heat emergencies and ensure at least 7 centers per 100,000 residents citywide.

A big thank you to New York City Council Member @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social for sponsoring the paraprofessional RESPECT check bill, and for his continued advocacy for public education and the dedicated public employees who provide essential services in our schools.

Yikes. Awful.

Brad Lander, Kathy Hochul, Mark Levine, and Keith Powers flyering.

Not to mention the elected officials in support, who have fought for a more affordable city and state for years: Kathy Hochul, @bradlander.bsky.social, Donovan Richards, @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social, @marklevinenyc.bsky.social, @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social, Erik Bottcher, and many more.

A good morning on the UES with @governor.ny.gov, @marklevinenyc.bsky.social, and @bradlander.bsky.social in support of more housing.

Vote YES on props 2-5.

Earlier this year, the City Council, led by @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social and @ebottcher.bsky.social, passed a legislative package that provides a strong foundation to get scaffolding down and improve safety and design.

But Mayor Adams has barely put it to use.

We gathered on 34th & Broadway, with a backdrop of buses crawling along, stuck in midtown traffic.

We were joined by NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez, Senator @bradhoylmansigal.bsky.social, AM @micahlasher.bsky.social, & CM @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social.

The 34th Street Busway isn’t negotiable.
