โSAG-AFTRA supports the implementation of smart guardrails around the use of AI. The NY FAIR News Act will maintain the integrity of journalism, and help ensure that AI technology is a tool that serves the people who report the news to the public, not one that replaces or exploits them. This is a meaningful, enforceable protection for both journalists and consumers of news media." REBECCA DAMON, CHIEF LABOR POLICY OFFICER AND NEW YORK LOCAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR SAG-AFTRA [Logo: SAG-AFTRA]
โThe DGA strongly supports the passage of the New York FAIR News Act because it puts media professionals at the center of the conversation about how AI will be used in newsrooms. By requiring transparency, oversight, and consent before AI is trained or deployed in news operations, the bill establishes clear guardrails that protect workers' rights and their professional judgment. Those protections are essential to maintaining the integrity of news and the trust of the public at a critical time for the newsgathering profession. When the professionals who work in news are protected, the quality and credibility of journalism are protected as well. NEIL DUDICH, EASTERN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR / ASSOCIATE NATIONAL EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE DGA [Logo: Directors Guild of America]
โJournalists follow ethical and professional standards to hold power to account and document the fullness of human expression. We want our readers to trust in the work we do. Media company executives, on the other hand, believe they can escape accountability by bypassing these same standards and avoiding transparency when it comes to artificial intelligence. That's precisely why the unethical and secretive use of generative AI in media is such a threat to journalism, and by extension, our nation's democratic processes. This legislation is vital to safeguard the public's right to know what is being done in their name and is necessary to protect and expand the public's trust, built by media workers across the country and in our union, in human-powered journalism."

Today, January 27th, I led the Assembly in observing International Holocaust Remembrance Day to remember the six million Jews who were murdered, and to confront what remembrance truly demands of us now.
That responsibility demands that we must speak out. We must teach. We must remember. #NeverAgain
This #MaternalHealthAwarenessDay, Iโm proud to support the CBWCHC with another round of state funding, building on the success of its initial pilot serving expectant/new moms and caregivers.
This funding makes possible breastfeeding education, prenatal resources, & family-friendly activities.
I had the honor of recognizing Dr. David Marmor, Principal of Francis Lewis High School, as he prepares to retire after more than 25 years of dedicated service.
Under his guidance, FLHS has been one of NYCโs top schools with thousands walking through its doors every year.
Thank you, Dr. Marmor!
Proud to secure state funding for South Asian Council for Social Services.
This investment helps SACSS continue their work in providing healthcare access, food security, senior services, and workforce development initiatives. #ThePeoplesWork

Let's get these signed, @governor.ny.gov? ๐
Thrilled to join the Flushing Chinese Business Association to kick off another Lunar New Year Parade planning season.
Thank you to the board, sponsors and CBOs who participate and volunteer their time to make it a huge success.
Save the Date: Saturday, February 21st at 11AM. #YearOfTheHorse
Iโm proud to join so many leaders in todayโs announcement of a future Queens Holocaust Memorial Garden in the heart of our borough.
It will serve as a testament to our history and a tool to teach the next generation of #QueensKids to #NeverForget.
One of our fav holiday recipes for protecting privacy, health & freedom in NY. ๐ฅง๐
We need these four critical bills signed: tell @governor.ny.gov to sign NOW so New Yorkers can get care without fear, delay, or discrimination.

A photo of nonprofit staff members and Assemblywoman Nily Rozic and State Senator John Liu standing in front of a hospital. Some people are holding signs in support of greater language access.
AAF joined community groups this morning in support of @nilyrozic.bsky.social and @liunewyork.bsky.social's hospital language access bill and to urge @governor.ny.gov to sign it into lawโbecause all New Yorkers deserve quality medical care no matter what language we speak!
Too many New Yorkers face language barriers that can delay or prevent life-saving care.
Legislation I sponsor with Sen. John Liu ensures NY hospitals provide interpretation & translation services so every patient can make informed decisions.
Letโs make equitable healthcare a reality for all.
This Veterans Day, we recognize the incredible service and sacrifices made by our veterans.
Iโll keep fighting in Albany to make sure veterans have the support and resources theyโve earned and deserve.
Libraries are more than buildings โ theyโre gateways to opportunity, learning, and connection. That's why I am thrilled to celebrate Hillcrest's reopening.
Proud to keep fighting for the resources Queens families deserve. ๐ #LibrariesAreEssential

Big thanks to co-chairs @lizkrueger.bsky.social and Assemblywoman Reyes! ๐งต
I recently announced $25,000 in new funding for Tomchei Shabbos of Queens to support their kosher meal delivery program that provides meals to families and older adults in need.
With this state grant, meals will be delivered directly, ensuring access to nutritious, kosher food throughout the year.
I was honored to join SCO Family of Services for its first โCommunity, Commitment, Changeโ forum in Briarwood.
For 130 years, SCO has been strengthening New York families, and it was inspiring to see their mission and plans in action.
Grateful to be part of this milestone. #ThePeoplesWork
Today we remember the lives lost on September 11th, 2001, and all those that we have lost from 9/11-related illnesses.
We honor the families who still bear the weight of that day, and the courage of heroes and first responders who continue to serve.
Tonight, join us if you can. ๐บ๐ธ
It was so fun celebrating the last kicks of summer! โ๏ธ๐ฆ๐โจ www.qchron.com/editions/nor...
Exciting news!
Proud to join my colleagues in announcing $8.5M in state investment for the Queens Museum.
This will bring a new childrenโs arts museum, accessible arts spaces, & so much more to our community. #ArtsForAll
Happy Independence Day, America! ๐บ๐ธ
Grateful for our freedoms and eager to keep fighting for this country and the rights we all deserve.
Shabbat Shalom, everyone.
May this be the last Shabbat we spend without the hostages coming home. ๐
It's here! After announcing state investment for the P.S. 163 Flushing Heights elementary school in October, the new, imaginative playground is up and running.
I was so pleased to check out the welcomed upgrade with Principal Francine Marsaggi and her team.
These are the devastating consequences of leaving antisemitism unchecked and allowing it to go mainstream.
Sending my deepest condolences to the @israelmfa.bsky.social and the families of the victims of tonightโs tragedy. May their memories be a blessing.
I was so grateful to @ncjw.bsky.social for coming to the State Capitol to advocate for reproductive health.
With the uncertainty coming out of DC, it is critical that we maintain access to quality care. NY must provide womenโs health services regardless of cuts to Medicaid or Title X.
