We joined the picket line with public defenders at the Neighborhood Defender Service (@NDSUnion). While management rejects their common sense wage increases, we will stand with these hard working public defenders. It’s time they get the fair and just contract they deserve!

Legal services workers are on the frontlines supporting our immigrant and working families against fascism. I joined @UAWRegion9A @NDSUnion on the picket line to demand that management give these workers the contract they deserve. Solidarity!

“We don’t want to do this. We care about our clients, we’re in this work because we love this work. But management has brought negotiations to this point, where we have no choice but to strike.” clickondetroit.com/news/loca…

I was proud to march on the picket line as a Legal Aid attorney to fight for a fair contract, and I’m proud to do it now with the @NDSUnion members on strike in Harlem. The people who defend justice deserve justice, and that's a contract that reflects their selfless work.

Harlem's Neighborhood Defender Service Union voted 97% to authorize a strike starting July 24 over healthcare benefits, following a similar walkout already underway at Brooklyn Defender Services. #PublicDefenders #Harlem #LaborRights amsterdamnews.com/news/2026/…

"The Neighborhood Defender Service Union is seeking to maintain a current benefit of no-premium, no-deductible health insurance and avoid proposed cost-of-living wage adjustments they say essentially result in pay cuts amid inflation." ow.ly/cVSL50Zso6O

Attorneys for Neighborhood Defender Service are threatening to go on strike over issues like higher wages and paid health insurance. Who joined them on the picket line Tuesday? Two of the newest Democratic nominees for Congress. hellgatenyc.com/claire-valde… hellgatenyc.com/claire-valde…

Are public defender offices *actually* committed to retaining the experienced staff our clients deserve? Or are they content with being churn & burn factories? Time to #fulfillthepromise of public defense, meet @NDSUnion at the bargaining table with a fair contract.
After 4 bargaining sessions with @NeighborhoodDef we have seen little to no movement from management on key issues that matter to our members and communities. Over 160 union members from NYC, Detroit, and Texas have signed a petition calling on NDS to #fulfillthepromise

Would you be interested in attending a public debate between parents impacted, the advocacy community and @ACSNYC at an in person event being hosted by Narrowing the Front Door - facilitated by a professional moderator like @errollouis or @RobinRoberts @LesterHoltNBC ?

Thank you, @AndrewHevesi @TheRealLatriceW @JabariBrisport & all who are supporting Miranda for Families S901/A1980 - not sure what @AndreaSCousins & @JeffreyDinowitz is not understanding. why it’s a debate about Black families knowing their rights and being safe in their homes?
