The AOC denounces the tactics of "corporate money" used by companies to "seize" cities

(Pt 2) I am proud of the vulnerability. In many ways, I consider vulnerability a blazon. A shield. After all, if we are not afraid to cry, to recognize our mistakes, to fall and rise, to propose a vision so ambitious that it makes laugh myopic … if we are brave enough to be human before we from all over the world, what can our critics really do? What should we be afraid of when we lift our own veil? The answer is nothing. Nothing at all.
.
I am immensely proud of the women who made this film. It's incredibly raw and explosive – not because we're special, but because we're not. Because if we can do it, you can too.

"What would you do if I sang wrong,
would you like to get up and get out of me? /
Lend me your ears and I will sing you a song /
and I will try not to sing the key. /
Oh, I'm doing with a little help from my friends /
mm, I will try with a little help from my friends
.
It was one of my father's favorite songs. Before his death, he built a lattice for my mother by hand in our garden. He wanted to put these words on the edges, but never had the opportunity. I've always thought it was a love song, but a song of love for friendship.
.
#Internationalwomensday, I think about (and I'm grateful for) the fraternity. Love is at the heart of fraternity, as are many meaningful relationships. And for me, loving people does not mean who you're trying to be a rock star. Love is knowing who you are not afraid to let you sing wrong. ?

Happy St. Pat's day parade for everyone from Sunnyside, Queens! ☘️
.
The St. Pat's Parade for All began as a demonstration for the inclusion of LGBTQ + at the St. Patrick's Day festivities, when people had initially tried to prevent the LGBT community to participate in the parade (unfortunately, some parades in New York are still – which reflects the work that remains to be done. The Queens community was not going to accept it and, 20 years ago, it launched St. Pat 's for All to celebrate the Irish values ​​of hospitality and hospitality. inclusion of all people, no matter who you love or who your position is in life. .
.
Launched by Brendan Fay City Councilor Danny Dromm +, St. Pat's for All is a fundamental NY14 tradition and takes place just before the St. Patrick's Day parade throughout the city.

Losar Tashi Delek! Spent this morning with our Tibetan NY-14 community to celebrate the Lunar New Year ✨ This little boy and I played giving us Tibetan white scarves, or Khatas, which are tokens to honor others during holidays or when special occasions. We had so much fun! ?

Behind every strong woman … there are stronger women ? #ittakesavillage

We open doors for others to cross.

If Republicans think women dancing in college are scandalous, wait for them to discover that women are also dancing in Congress! ?

Tonight we celebrated #Chanukah in community with @jfrejnyc and many others. It was an explosion, and Rabbi Mia gave me the honor of helping to light the shamash – the servant candle that lights others. I am so inspired by this idea that each of us can be a shamash for our friends, family and community. Let's take this energy and light at the beginning of the week to come!

"Nobody puts a scarf on my head except me, it's my choice – protection by the first amendment." – @ilhanmn, badass-elect, MN
.
Ilhan is my friend! ?♀️ I'm so proud of her AND proud to support her as we open the door to reverse the 181-year-old House rule that scarves are not allowed in Congress.
.
This year, and with Ilhan's leadership, we're going to turn the screenplay around and tell Hijabi girls around the world that they can handle the picture, fight for medicare for everyone, and get a nice haircut scarf if they wish.

Today's day. To the countless supporters, door hunters, organizers, small budget donors and all the others – thank you.
.
This trip was one of the most challenging and rewarding collective efforts I have ever participated in. We did not just launch a campaign: we created a movement in our own backyard. We built the community. We focused on problems that no one wanted to talk about. We raised our neighbors and discovered a level of courage and friendship that we never thought possible.
.
Thank you to everyone who participated in this trip and followed us to this moment. Whatever happens, it is only a beginning. Let's continue side by side in the advancement of economic, social and racial justice in the United States of America.

We are back on the street and connect with the community for November – come see us at our Queens & Bronx offices to participate!

Possess your power.
.
For many, it is radical to feel good about yourself and to know that you are more than enough, just like you.
.
One of my favorite quotes is Martin Luther King, Jr: "Anyone can be great … because everyone can serve. You do not need a college degree to serve. You do not have to make sure that your subject and your verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love. "
.
So take some space. Spoken. Keep the door open and take the others with you. Accept the fact that you will be criticized anyway – it is the price to pay to fight for change and innovation. I consider constructive criticism as a master plan for improvement and a drug for the ego.
.
In the end, it is the people who transform society, who remain focused on adversity and do the thankless job of change. We can all be part of it if we wish. We can all knock on a door, register our cousin to vote, or inform us about a topic that interests us.
.
We are all capable of awakening and commitment. And because of that, we can all be great.
