Sen. Jabari Brisport

Senator Brisport Statement on Brooklyn Navy Yard Lease with Easy Aerial: I am thrilled that Easy Aerial will not be permitted to renew its lease at the Brooklyn Navy Yard; it is unacceptable for a city-chartered, publicly owned space to be complicit in supplying military equipment to the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF). This win would not have happened without the tireless efforts of the Demilitarize Brooklyn Navy Yard (DBNY) campaign. Their research brought this situation to light, and they have shown that when New Yorkers organize together, meaningful change is possible. This is an exciting moment, though the work is not finished. Like Easy Arial, Crye Precision also supplies equipment to the IOF, and is still operating at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. We must evict Crye Precision and work together to make sure it is the last business of its kind to ever take up space at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. I look forward to working with DBNY and other stakeholders to make this happen.

Thrilled that Easy Aerial won’t be permitted to renew its lease at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. Full statement here:

Hochul wants to “identify opportunities to enlist employers“ to solve the child care crisis.

Sounds like folks should let her know we can do that by reversing Trump’s corporate tax cuts in NY 👀

Met up w/ Ms. Rachel and Mayor Zohran Mamdani as we prepare to roll out free child care for two-year-olds in NYC ✨

@msrachelforlittles.bsky.social @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social @mayor.nyc.gov

What we’ve won today will change lives — and it’s just the beginning. We won’t let up until child care is free for all across the state and child care workers are paid fairly as educators.

Sen. Jabari Brisport stands at a podium in front of people with signs saying “I spend $65000 a year on child care”, “we’re fighting for universal childcare” and “ I am an elected official and parent for universal childcare care”. The podium holds the New York State Senate seal.

The legislature is back in session! Let’s go win this Universal Child Care Act!

The New York Times. Health Dept. to Freeze $10 Billion in Funding to 5 Democratic States The funding pause could jeopardize child care and other programs that serve hundreds of thousands of households in California, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota and New York.

Trump’s trying to punish people who didn’t vote for him & doesn’t care that he’s also hurting some who did. 

But coming for NYers is foolish; try to stomp on us & we’ll fight that much harder to protect each other—and we’ll win Universal Child Care while we’re at it.

Senator Brisport Condemns Brooklyn Navy Yard Contracts with Suppliers to Israeli Military On Tuesday, September 16th , Senator Jabari Brisport released the following statement in response to the Brooklyn Navy Yard’s lease contracts with two companies that supply equipment to the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF): BROOKLYN, NY – “It is unacceptable and deeply disturbing that the Brooklyn Navy Yard – a city-chartered and publicly owned entity – is complicit in supplying military equipment to the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF). The Navy Yard’s lease agreements with Easy Aerial and Crye Precision are a moral failure and a betrayal of public trust. Our government has been shamefully complicit in the growth and impunity of the IOF, using U.S. taxpayer money and public resources to fund militarized violence abroad without public consent or oversight. I call for the immediate eviction of Easy Aerial and Crye Precision from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, as well as a permanent ban on all new and future leases to any company involved in the manufacture, development, or distribution of military equipment, surveillance technologies, weapons, or tactical gear, whether for domestic policing or international warfare. ” Easy Aerial, deceptively categorized by the Brooklyn Navy Yard in their business directory under “Fine Arts/Photography,” was founded by members of the IOF and manufactures drones used by the Israeli military in its genocidal campaign in Gaza. They have a contract with Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer. Crye Precision, listed under “Fashion/Accessories,” designs and manufactures tactical military gear, camouflage, and combat uniforms used by the IOF and U.S. law enforcement, including the NYPD’s heavily militarized units.

The Brooklyn Navy Yard’s lease agreements with Easy Aerial and Crye Precision are a moral failure and a betrayal of public trust.

I’ll be with the DBNY Coalition tomorrow at 8:30am outside Building 92. See you there. ✊🏾🇵🇸

ESD’s failure to ensure the creation of these affordable units & choice to waive the fine is outrageous—and bitterly unsurprising. They’re not prioritizing commitments to the public; they’re serving the real estate corps looking to profit off our city.

Sen. Brisport Statement on President Trump Attack on Iran Sen. Jabari Brisport released the following statement in response to President Trump’s June 21st attack on Iran: BROOKLYN, NY – “President Trump’s criminal attack on Iran was a monumental threat to the well-being of Americans, Iranians, and people all over the world. Many New Yorkers and their loved ones in Iran are already directly in danger as a result, and any further escalation by our government will only put more lives at risk. The path to this globally destabilizing act was paved by the same political establishment that was never held accountable for its criminal invasion of Iraq — including many of our Democratic leaders. They have continued beating the drums of war to serve their own political purposes and the interests of their campaign donors. Every elected official who has their constituents' interests at heart must stand unequivocally against President Trump’s war on Iran and the destruction of lives in pursuit of global domination.”

We must all stand against President Trump’s attack on Iran and the destruction of lives in pursuit of global domination.

Text on a blue background says: “‘NY’s Legislature just ended its session for the year. For the next 6 months, Trump will be escalating his attacks on New York without our state government scheduled to pass ANY legislation to respond and protect New Yorkers. We must hold special session, and we must start that session by passing NY4All to stand up to Trump’s unchecked ICE raids terrorizing our neighborhoods.’ - Sen. Jabari Brisport”

We need a special session. Our people cannot wait.

Tax the Rich. Name the Rich. Oppose the Rich.

I vote no.

New York City is bearing the burdens of a Mayor who lied and broke the law to take office, and then let his administration implode. It makes no sense that we have had to wait round for a Governor from Buffalo to make a decision about our city. — Sen. Jabari Brisport

Other City Councils all over the US can directly remove a mayor when egregious situations come up — they don’t have to wait on a governor. Am. Harvey Epstein & I just introduced a state bill to give our City Council that power too.

Let’s reverse President Trump’s Corporate Tax Cut; tell @Governor.ny.gov to fight back by passing the Corporate Tax bill in this year’s state budget.

Gov. Hochul has fiercely opposed raising taxes on the wealthy in every budget negotiation.

Lined up between five cops, three men stand handcuffed with their hands behind their backs. One has turned to speak to an officer; the front of his shirt reads “Housing Healthcare & Justice For All” with a large pink triangle. The other two are held facing a railing; the backs of their shirts read “Housing Works Advocacy: Direct Action Since 1990”

Outside the US, tax filing is free & simple for most citizens of wealthy countries. Here, tax-filing companies have lobbied congress to prevent that, so they can profit off the struggle.
