We carry a responsibility to prove that government is worthy of the people it serves.
A week ago, we marked our first 100 days.
We will work every day to honor the promises we made to New Yorkers — and to fulfill the mission of the movement that brought us here.

Workers have a right to form & join unions and to bargain first contracts but the reality is it’s still too hard. Proud to stand with workers, NYC unions, @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, @sanders.senate.gov, Manny Pastreich, Henry Garrido @dc37nyc.bsky.social, @mayor.nyc.gov at the launch of Union Now.
Blast from the past! How great to hear from you. Thank you for the nicest message.
We’re just getting started. Next 100–let’s go!
Thank you, @ddayen.bsky.social for the detailed reporting, and hi, Secretary @rbreich.bsky.social!
New Yorkers, you have 30 days from the release to tell us what we can do better. Give us ideas. Hold us accountable. We are all in this together.
4 years ago, New Yorkers voted for NYC to take seriously the racial inequity that’s too pervasive. But they were forced to wait. Until now. In the first 100 days, @mayor.nyc.gov Mamdani’s administration released the first ever citywide Preliminary Racial Equity Plan & the True Cost of Living Measure
Dolores Huerta is as impactful in her 90s as she’s been throughout her life. A fighter, survivor, organizer, union leader, visionary, sister and friend. Feliz cumpleanos a nuestra heroe. #sisepuede💪🏽
For 4 years I worked in the building that bears her name in Washington DC where the entire team at the US DOL proudly worked to live up to her name. Happy Birthday, Madame Secretary!
Frances Perkins got her start in NYC where she responded to worker abuse and suffering with landmark worker protections that she turned into national policy as US Labor Secretary.

Today is Frances Perkins’ birthday. West 46th Street between 9th & 10th Ave was renamed “Frances Perkins Place” in 2022 to honor her legacy.
❤️ (@maymauveine.com, this was perfect)
Wow, thank you for making this video with such beautiful images. Do you mind if I share it on other socials?
This settlement puts money back in the pockets of hundreds of immigrant-owned businesses, and it's a clear message to every platform in this city: we are watching the fine print.
Thank you so much for hosting, @aafederation.bsky.social! Look forward to many more conversations and action arising from them.
When advocates & community organizers run and get elected to office, their hope, strength, organizing skills, and ambition about what’s possible not only transform WHAT policies are passed but WHO gets to decide. Great seeing you today @dianaforqueens.com!👸🏽
“How much could really get done in 100 days?”
✔️Put $8.5 million in stolen wages back in the pockets of New Yorkers who earned it.
From the fast food workers to delivery drivers, we will always defend the hard-working people of New York City against fraudulent employers.

Deputy Mayors, Assemble🗽
Today is Trans Day of Visibility. Trans, non-binary, and gender-nonconforming people have always been here — from the hijra of India to the Diné nádleehi to the leaders who built the modern LGBTQIA+ movement here in New York. Your existence is not up for debate. Your lives are not a political issue. We're fighting for a city where every trans New Yorker can live openly, safely, and with joy.
Always love the chance to meet workers organizing for a better life for themselves and others and negotiating their first contract. Keep it up, @sbworkersunited.org!
The Triangle Shirtwaist commemoration honored 146 mostly immigrant women who lost their lives in the 1911 fire. Their deaths weren’t just a tragedy. They were the result of workers having no voice, no power, and no protection. That fight isn’t over.
Government must deliver for working people—and every dollar in our budget should work as hard as they do.
That’s why I directed every agency to cut waste and help close our budget gap.
Here’s some of what we found.
Black In These Times quote graphic featuring a long statement from Julie Su about measuring the health of New York City by whether it is affordable for working people, supporting workers organizing for a better life, and backing strong first contracts for union workers. At lower right, a cutout photo shows Julie Su in a bright blue suit standing beside a smiling Black woman in a dark T-shirt holding a decorated hard hat. The quote is attributed at the bottom to “Julie Su, Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice in New York City.”
Three decades after winning a landmark case to protect Thai workers, Mayor Mamdani's Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice Julie Su reflects on the lessons she’s learned and looks ahead to how NYC can become a pro-worker capital.

Love to all who also loved Lora Jo Foo. It’s been comforting to share stories and memories with many of you. juliesulabor.substack.com/p/loras-life...
Our struggles are linked. We must act accordingly. “History will judge us not just by whether we funded important work, but by whether we were wise enough to see the connections between crises and act accordingly.” 🔥
Please read this brilliant piece. Rini Chakraborty has persistently remade the landscape as a philanthropic and community leader but she points to where there is more to do and how to do it.
Such an honor to be the first Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice. It is both by definition and by breadth a reflection of @mayor.nyc.gov’s commitment to using every tool in this city’s portfolio to make life better for working class New Yorkers.
In 2015, Chinatown Tenants Union helped win the first rent freeze in 46 years.
Today, Deputy Mayor Julie Su is helping working-class families in Chinatown who are once again facing housing instability.

As acting U.S. Labor Secretary, I spent time with USW all across the country—from new members building school buses in Georgia to multi-generational union members proud to have produced the steel for U.S. ships, structures, and highways. Can’t wait to see & support what comes next, Madame President!
The ballroom in Pittsburgh was packed and electric with excitement. Grateful to be with @flyingwithsara.bsky.social, @katosquest.bsky.social, Ambassador Tai, and hundreds of other sisters and brothers.
President Roxanne Brown!! Congrats to my friend and history-making leader on her installation as International President of @steelworkers.bsky.social
