Transit workers deserve a fair deal that reflects the importance of their work and the risks they take every day. I stand with @TWULocal100 in their fight for a good contract. #MTA #TWULocal100 #NYC
The NYC Labor Movement is watching, it's time for the @MTA to give these essential workers the respect they deserve. @TWULocal100 #1u nydailynews.com/new-york/ny-…

Our @TWULocal100 bus and subway workers shouldn’t have to fight for a good contract. They put their lives on the line during COVID in support of other front line workers & first responders. It cost many of them their lives. Give them a fair contract @MTA - they deserve better!

It's official: I am no longer the most recent Guinness world record holder for the fastest time to visit every NYC subway station.
Kate Jones officially set the first post–Second Avenue Subway time, completing her full circuit in an absurd 22:14:10. 1/12

tl;dr: broke my ankle, broke a record!
You’re looking at the current Guinness World Record holder for the fastest time to travel to all New York City Subway stations! 472 stations in 22h14m10s, and I’m the first woman to hold the record in it’s nearly 57 year history.

Scoop: Starbucks baristas at 100+ cafes in 40+ cities plan to welcome their new CEO with strikes today, demanding an end to alleged union-busting bloomberg.com/news/articles/… @SBWorkersUnited

As I always say, transit leaders should be riding transit. You can't make good decisions about a service you're unfamiliar with. Saying "I grew up riding the bus" doesn't give you a pass to not ride the system today.

We’re in Jamaica today calling on our representatives to fight for #6MinuteService in this year’s state budget.
Riders at the station are tired of the long waits and don’t want to see the fare go up to $3.00 #FixtheMTA

Making buses free will make them safer, faster and universally accessible—all while providing relief to working-class NYers.
That’s why it’s a key part of our plan to #FixTheMTA.
And it’s within reach—go to fixthemta.org/support and ask your state rep to support the package

The MTA is on an express track towards fiscal calamity. Our plan to #FixTheMTA would freeze fares, increase service and make buses free

We rallied in Albany today to tell our state legislators and @GovKathyHochul that it’s time to fund and fix the @MTA!
Transit is the lifeblood of our region, and the millions of riders who depend on it daily deserve better service and affordable fares 🚇🚍🗽
