Tomorrow, the mayor wants to start evicting 3,500 families with children from shelters in the middle of winter -- disrupting students' lives, uprooting them from their shelters, and creating unnecessary hardship.
We can't let that happen. now.

I was saddened to learn of Harry Belafonte's passing today. Beyond his incredible talents as a singer and performer, Harry was an activist, advocating for civil rights in the U.S., education & HIV/AIDS prevention in Africa, & more. May his memory be a blessing & an inspiration.

Most of our forebears came to the U.S. from somewhere else, fleeing oppression. All of them sought freedom, as did the ancestors whose journeys we celebrate at the Seder. This Passover, let's remember the obligation & the mitzvah of welcoming the stranger.forward.com/opinion/541584…

I am thrilled that the U.S. Senate has affirmed that rights are human rights. I hope that this sends a clear message around the world that love is stronger than hate. nytimes.com/2022/11/29/us/…
