...and then Chancellor talked abt alternative system, where CEC members -- ie: parents/guardians & local communities -- have more decision-making power, painting that as an inevitable nightmare, insulting volunteer parents/guardians who serve on CECs. Downright offensive. 🧵2/2

ICYMI, last night’s Brooklyn mayoral control hearing was filled with passionate testimony from parents and educators like Adam Shapiro from District 21. The next one, in Manhattan, is Jan. 18th.

When you can't wait to verify the veracity of information before sharing widely because you're so eager to use it to fear-monger, then need to quietly say, "Oh, never mind," less than 24 hours later when it's confirmed that information you shared is total B.S. – at Brooklyn, NY

Our parks are for children to play baseball & soccer, seniors and families. Not for migrant tent cities because Biden can’t control the border. This plan is unacceptable. 2/2

Truly humbled to have the support of so many of our first responders – especially our FDNY and EMS workers. When others run out, they run in – no questions asked. I will always fight to make sure this city does right by them for the sacrifices they make.
Thank you to our brave first responders for endorsing @JustinBrannan for re-election in District 47! - @UEMSO_FDNY - @UEPI2507 - @UFANYC - Fire Alarm Dispatchers Benevolent Association - NYC Deputy Sheriffs’ Association - NYC Court Officers Association

How can you run across home plate at a minor league stadium without joining a baseball team? Register for the UFT 5K! Run or walk with colleagues, friends and family at Coney Island. All registration proceeds benefit the UFT Disaster Relief Fund: bit.ly/3NB73hW

Seems like you’re grasping for straws Ari - might you be considering another party change?
What is next, Justin? Picture of me going into the bathroom at 250 Broadway? Did you ask your Socialist colleague & Public Housing Committee Chair Alexa Aviles why she never hosted a public hearing on my bills about NYCHA Accountability?

So far tonight I've been attacked by two of @AriKagan47's trolls. Looks like someone is feeling sensitive about missing his budget hearings for the rally that wasn't.

Ari Kagan blew off a budget hearing to...shake his fist at the sky across from @JustinBrannan's office. Love the dedication to your constituents, Ari. SO IMPRESSED.
Ari did not attend the NYCHA executive budget hearing today. I'm sure he has a very busy schedule.🙄

Banning books and censoring our teachers are direct attacks on our public school system.

Bragging about how you stood across the street from an office with one other person to talk about something to NOBODY, while THOUSANDS of your constituents who live in public housing needed you to DO YOUR JOB and be in a NYCHA hearing at that same time. Priorities aka #PriAriTies

Tonight, our CEC21 passed a resolution stating asylees who've journeyed here deserve compassion and appropriate shelter, and schools in undeserved communities should not lose limited resources w/o consultation or notice to bear this burden due to poor planning by the city. 2/2

Just spoke with NYCEM and have confirmed the city is now moving the migrants out of PS 188 in Coney Island. Plan is to no longer use this site for temporary shelter. Will share more verified info as I receive. Our schools should not be used for this purpose.

I spent the morning with colleagues, educators, and leaders at @UFT to discuss how we can work together to build up community schools. With contract negotiations coming up, teachers don’t just need our appreciation. They need to get paid. – at Queens, NY
