Thanks to all of you, this scrappy, grassroots team has raised over $107k to power our campaign for the 52nd Assembly District! As the only candidate in the race currently receiving public matching funds, I'm more fired up than ever to bring our people-powered movement to Albany.
Thank you so much for your support, Ms. Bell and Ms. Brown β welcome to Team Lydia! π
Ms. Bell and Ms. Brown are both tireless fighters for their communities β I have long been inspired by their commitment to relentlessly advocating for their neighbors, and look forward to working closely with them to ensure that the needs of AD 52βs NYCHA communities are comprehensively addressed.
I am honored to have received the endorsements of Wyckoff Gardens NYCHA Tenant Association President Valerie Bell and former Warren St Houses NYCHA Tenant Association President Joe Ann Brown!
For our final Passover action, Team Lydia spent the morning volunteering with CHiPS to help them feed the Park Slope community.
Making sure our neighbors' needs are met is an essential step towards collective liberation β join us & sign up for a shift at CHiPS today!

Thank you so much for your support and friendship, Mark β welcome to Team Lydia! π
As a fellow District Leader and State Committee member, I have worked alongside Mark for the past four years, and I deeply admire that he is a fearless progressive with a clear set of values which he always sticks by in the face of political pressure.
Iβm honored to have received the endorsement of AD-64 Democratic District Leader Mark Hanna!
For todayβs Passover action, I joined my friends at @jfrejnyc.bsky.social for another Immigration Court Watch shift.
As we work to build a NY where immigrants can safely put down roots, it's critical we ensure their safety in legal proceedings.
DM to get involved with court watching yourself.
For today's Passover action, I called @governor.ny.gov to tell her to expedite the passage of the NY For All Act β we can't make progress towards collective liberation until everyone can safely build a life in New York.
Join Team Lydia in calling Governor Hochul's office at 518-474-8390 today!
Absolutely horrified by Trump's threats on Iran. What kind of person seeks to destroy an entire civilization β its children, its language, its culture, & its beauty included?
This president represents unspeakable evil & we must do everything in our power to prevent him from destroying our world.
For today's Passover action, I joined @jfrejnyc.bsky.social's seder in the streets to call for an end to ICE & the oppression of immigrant communities.
JFREJ is my Jewish home, and I can't imagine fighting fascism anywhere else π

For today's Passover action for collective liberation, I gave to Black Trans Mutual Aid, which financially supports black trans people globally.
Black trans folks intersect with many oppressions. Their liberation is all of our liberation.

For todayβs Passover action for collective liberation, I joined Brooklyn for Peace for their weekly vigil calling for diplomacy, international law, and an end to US militarism.
Join Team Lydia in calling your Congress Members at (877) 762-8762 to demand NO wars and NO funding for ICE.
My Passover action for collective liberation today was contributing to Olive You, an organization that provides mutual aid to displaced Palestinians in Gaza & Egypt. As the Passover story reminds us, no one can be free without clean water & food.

This Passover, join me in a week of action towards collective liberation.
Today, I proudly signed NY Caring Majority's petition to demand that Governor Hochul delivers a Care Not Corruption agenda for ALL New Yorkers.

At our seder this year, we focused on the Palestinian & Iranian people on the frontlines of war and struggling to access basic needs like food & water. We recommit ourselves to standing against wars & genocide.
This year, may we all be liberated together from the narrow place β no one left behind.
In my family, we always use the Passover story to draw attention to everyone struggling with tyranny and oppression today, breathing new life into a very old tale.
At Passover, we recount the story of the liberation of the Jewish people from slavery in Mitzrayim ("the narrow place"), but we don't just read the story β we are encouraged to relive it through ritual symbolism and to understand personally what it is like to be oppressed.
Happy Passover / Chag Pesach Sameach / A Zisn Peysekh!
The holiday of Passover contains some of my favorite aspects of Judaism β the focus on collective liberation, curiosity and empathy as values, and participatory storytelling.
Happy Trans Day of Visibility!
Right now more than ever, while a fascist sits in the White House, we must stand with our trans neighbors and fight alongside them for housing, health care, and all the resources they need to thrive.
Trans rights are human rights. Always. π³οΈββ§οΈ
It is incumbent on anyone in a position of power to stand up for freedom of speech and against war and genocide. I will always be proud to use whatever platform I have to stand with those pushing for justice. Click the link below to stand with them too!

Yesterday, I stood with @psc-cuny.org to call for the reinstatement of the Fired Fourth CUNY professor, who was fired for their activism in solidarity with Palestine. McCarthyist techniques like blacklisting are a threat to freedom of speech for all of us.
