If you live in City Council District 1, Chris Marte does not deserve your vote. People against more buildings and affordable housing (for seniors, no less!) shouldn't represent Manhattan neighborhoods. Vote for @jesskcoleman.bsky.social, who will be excellent on housing.
Jess Coleman is our pick for Manhattan's 1st Council District seat. He supports a crosstown protected bike lane on Chambers Street, pedestrianizing much of the Financial District, and keeping cars off a reopened Park Row. More about @jesskcoleman.bsky.social here: www.streetspac.org/2025_nyc_pri...

Lower Manhattan has a choice: keep blocking new housing while rents skyrocket — or finally build a future where people can afford to stay.
Grateful to @hellgatenyc.com for highlighting what’s at stake in this election. hellgatenyc.com/marte-colema...
Congestion pricing is working.
It’s a massive win for NYC—and Democrats should be shouting it from the rooftops.
Instead, many are silent. Some, like Chris Marte, are actively fighting it.
Why are we ducking the fight?
My latest for @newrepublic.com: newrepublic.com/article/1951...
We couldn’t be more excited to announce our endorsement of Jess Coleman’s run for for City Council - District 1.
@jesskcoleman.bsky.social placed housing affordability at the heart of his campaign. His abundance-oriented agenda is what the city needs from our leaders.
Hot on his tail—with bold, common-sense solutions to actually lower your rent.
Thanks to @thecity.nyc for spotlighting the movement we’re building.
Housing’s out of reach. Hate crimes are rising. Our rights are under attack.
LGBTQ New Yorkers are on the front lines—and too often ignored by people in power.
Proud to have @SDNYC in my corner as we fight for real progress—not more empty promises.
Jess HQ is OPEN!
Thanks to everyone who came out tonight. The energy was electric—and a powerful reminder of what this campaign is all about: a more affordable, vibrant, and just NYC.
Final stretch ahead. Let’s get to work.
We’re opening up our campaign office tomorrow—come celebrate with us!
Come enjoy some drinks and snacks, grab some campaign swag, and hear about how we’re going to lower your rent!

My path to the ballot was a little different.
No drama—just clipboards, real conversations, and a message of lowering your rent and making your neighborhood thrive.
My campaign has always been about you, and it will stay that way. www.nydailynews.com/2025/04/09/c...
Lower Manhattan has the highest storefront vacancy rate in NYC. Giving up a few parking spaces—for just a handful of hours every week—in exchange for a vibrant public space that benefits residents and small businesses is a no-brainer.
Good work, CB3!
Open NY is what the NIMBY right has feared all along: a young, people-powered movement fighting for housing justice w/o any reliance on special interests.
Can't wait to fight alongside them to lower your rent and make your neighborhood thrive.
Left: opposing congestion pricing.
Right: taking credit for a project funded by congestion pricing.
This is almost the exact same as my ranking! Additionally, I plan on voting for @marklevinenyc.bsky.social for comptroller and @keithpowersnyc.bsky.social for Manhattan BP! And getting everyone in lower Manhattan to vote for @jesskcoleman.bsky.social
It was great to hear @jesskcoleman.bsky.social lay out his vision for a more prosperous & abundant NYC last night with the @nycnewliberals.org
Lower Manhattan deserves a city councilmember that supports more housing and congestion pricing.
I'll just say it's been a good morning.
the best way to fight back against weird hipster NIMBYs is donating to @jesskcoleman.bsky.social , the progressive, pro-housing, pro-congestion pricing candidate primarying Chris Marte
Donate here and the city will match your donation 8:1
All you really need to know about this is not one solution is offered—we should all just rage at imaginary enemies and fight to protect the status quo in the process.
If you want to join a movement focused on solutions, check out jessfornewyork.com.
LGBTQ+ rights are under attack—book bans, healthcare restrictions, attempts to erase trans people. It’s an assault on all of us—our freedoms, our democracy, our right to exist.
Proud to be endorsed by @jimowlesclub.bsky.social. We need leaders who fight back, not just play defense.
đź’Ą We recommend @jesskcoleman.bsky.social in District 1. Jess is a district native and community leader with a proven record of standing up against a broken status quo
Thank you Sam!
today is a great day to donate to @jesskcoleman.bsky.social and kick MAGA NIMBY bum Chris Marte off of the city council
if you live in NYC, the city matches your donation 8x!

The far more beneficial change would be to dump Chris Marte in June's election. Vote for @jesskcoleman.bsky.social
You don’t get to choose who has rights or when they matter. That’s kinda the whole point.
If the government can detain a permanent resident without due process today, they can do it to you tomorrow.
This isn’t complicated.
I agree, Chris Marte: We need new social housing now more than ever.
Let’s get rid of local politicians who block 100% affordable housing projects in their own districts.
Oh wait…
Thanks so much Sam!
It’s that logic that may make the WFP’s decision to endorse Council Member Chris Marte puzzling to some, as the lawmaker has gotten heat from housing advocates in the district and opposed the City of Yes housing plan last year. Asked about those YIMBY critiques, Archila said, “Sometimes these fights are actually really hard fights – we live in a blue city, but it's not blue for the issues that matter to the poorest New Yorkers. Sometimes the poorest New Yorkers actually have the hardest time getting their voices heard, and it is notable that despite the opposition … he has (waded) into these difficult waters with a lot of commitment, and that is a remarkable sort of leadership quality.”
Incoherent word salad from @nywfp.bsky.social in trying to justify their endorsement of arch-NIMBY Chris Marte. Actual progressives should ignore this endorsement. www.cityandstateny.com/politics/202...
