Join me at 1PM this Saturday, 6/6 in Washington Square Park for a special Pride Canvass Kick-Off! I’ll be joined by some exciting guest speakers to discuss LGBTQ+ issues, then we’ll break to go talk to voters during this critical stretch of the campaign.
They say it takes a village to raise a child -- the same thing is true when it comes to running a campaign. Donate by May 11 to help me meet my fundraising goal, so I can spend less time making these videos and more time raising my kid and talking to voters!
If you’ve been keeping up with the news out of Albany, you probably know that the New York state budget is late *again*. In this episode of State Government 101, I explain why this benefits Governor Hochul and stymies progressive political change, and what we can do to fix it.
Did you know that New Yorkers have no way to call for a constitutional referendum? 🤔 In this episode of State Government 101, I explain one way New York is less democratic than other states and why we need a quicker way to amend the state constitution.
Washington Square Park should be welcoming to all - gates won't accomplish that. Thanks to @abc7ny.bsky.social for highlighting my statement at yesterday's Community Board 2 meeting on this topic!
At last night's candidate forum on small businesses, I got to talk about how creating a robust environment for small businesses to thrive in is integral to maintaining a healthy labor market in the AI era.

Did you know that our legislature actually *can* pass important bills in a timely manner? 🤯 In this episode of State Government 101: how a bill I co-authored passed in just 13 months, and why it’s so difficult for most legislation to make it through NY’s state legislature.
I’m excited to continue my series about Lower Manhattan’s living history with a chat with my good friend Johnny Dynell, a legend of the Downtown music and arts scene. Johnny has way more stories than can fit into a short video, but hopefully this gives you a fun taste.
Reporter: What do you make of Republicans saying that Virginia— AOC: Wah wah wah. We have asked Republicans for 10 years to ban partisan gerrymandering. And for 10 years, Republicans have said no. What they’re just mad at is that they have been accustomed to a Democratic Party that rolls over.
Poverty is solved by prosperity, not poverty alleviation. People don't want a nicer version of being poor. They want to flourish and prosper like everyone else. Stop begging and start doing.

“Bolsonarista raiz” virou ex-bolsonarista. Acordou?. Não duvido que ainda seja eleitor dos filhos. Não existe bolsonarista enganado. Aquilo de que ele se queixa no vídeo, o ex-presidiário da Papudinha já demonstrava em seu histórico como deputado federal inútil e incompetente. 1/2⤵️

So things are spiraling for at least one drunk in the occupying nazi regime. This brings me joy. Now if we can get the other drunks, junkies, pedos, other sex pests, and the treasonous war criminals out and prosecuted. America would be headed in a positive direction finally. #SheShed #KashPatel
