Joined @maketheroadny.bsky.social Trans Immigrant Project at the 15th Annual Trans Latinx March — Quinceañera por Justicia! 🏳️⚧️ 15 years marching for trans dignity & justice in Queens. Trans rights are non-negotiable. We will not back down, and we will not let our community be erased. ✊🏽
ICE has repeatedly demonstrated that it is incapable of carrying out its mission without causing irreparable harm. It is time to abolish ICE and build an immigration system rooted in justice, due process, dignity, and human rights. Enough is enough. #AbolishICE

Queens was devastated by COVID, exposing deep public health inequities in immigrant & working-class communities. Today I asked @mayor.nyc.gov about NYC’s Article 6 cut from 36% to 20% — costing us $90M a year. I am fighting to restore full funding. Public health isn’t optional.🩺
