\u201cTaxi drivers in New York are the backbone and soul of this city. Their pain is ours. They shouldn\u2019t have to be on a hunger strike. Cancel the debt. \n\nI'm standing with @NYTWA to #EndCabbieDebt\u201d— Jamaal Bowman Ed.D (@Jamaal Bowman Ed.D) 1635101100
\u201cNEW: NYC Taxi drivers are on day 5 of a hunger strike. Thousands of drivers are $500K+ in debt after being deceived by the city.\n\nThey\u2019ve lost their homes, retirement savings, and some have been driven to suicide.\n\nBut @NYCMayor is pushing a plan to bailout banks, not drivers.\u201d— More Perfect Union (@More Perfect Union) 1635007173
"To see drivers get past the suicides and the bankruptcies and all the heart attacks and the strokes and the utter level of despair and depression, to now being on the streets, refusing to leave until justice is won... It's workers taking back control over their lives."
\u201cEvery Saturday, @NYCMayor puts out a press release with updates on the progress of his banker bailout. Each time, it\u2019s a new set of distortions.\n\nWill he do it again tomorrow? Check back here for an update.\n\nIn the meantime, watch @AOC explain what real debt relief looks like \u2b07\ufe0f\u201d— NY Taxi Workers (@NY Taxi Workers) 1634942307
