When you lose the legislative argument, you deflect to California drama and Twitter conspiracy theories. Typical. ​Let’s teach you how real governance and policy advocacy actually work in New York. 🧵👇
Replying to @ADOSAFNEWYORK
@ADOSAFNEWYORK Be condescending all you want. What lineage-based reparations & disaggregation bills has ADOSAF-NY wrote, introduced to legislators, & calls to actions have you put out afterward? Your official website is not tracking any bills yet I don't know civics? Or is your agenda is to undermine the U.S. Freedmen Project as you all did to CJEC, LEAP, & NAASD in CA?🤔 We know you all work for the Dems.

While you circulate email petitions for a Mayor’s Office from an administration actively appealing its own racial equity court order, we are holding CORE accountable under Local Law 92 to seat the stakeholder cohort for Darity’s study.

Our work is inside the formal state & municipal records shaping the empirical findings. Yours is online petitions and bills parked permanently in Rules. ​Know the difference between actual policy work and political theater. Don't bark up this tree; this tree will fall on you.

Outside groups don't introduce bills, legislators do. Serious advocates don’t shop symbolic, unbudgeted marker bills with zero co-sponsors that die instantly in committee just to screenshot a print number for internet clout.

Real power is administrative and regulatory. When Local Laws 91 & 92 passed in NYC, and S1016-A passed in NYS, @ADOSAFNEWYORK went straight to work on the actual statutory apparatus.

When getting what you asked for goes wrong. A 🧵 and a lesson.
Before you ask foolish questions, learn how the Albany legislative pipeline actually works. ​Circulating an Action Network petition for an office that doesn't exist while bragging about bills parked permanently in the Rules Committee isn't leadership. It’s performance art. 🧵👇

As I said before, all talk w/ little action. Meanwhile, the U.S. Freedmen is pushing for an office Freedmen Affairs, state disaggregation, & lineage/harmed based state reparations in NY. @ADOSAFNEWYORK what bills have you introduced to a state & local legislature? Where's your calls to action. I just signed one the @USFreedmenPrj have. actionnetwork.org/letters/we…

Legislation isn’t what you print on an Assembly letterhead to collect clicks. It’s what you can build the coalition, the economic data, and the regulatory mechanics to actually pass. We’re doing the administrative, legal, and statutory work.
