I am a housing justice activist and engaged in eviction defense and tenant organizing.
Currently, I sit on three municipal boards in the Town of Whitman, elected to both The Planning Board and Board of Health in May 2021. Also, I represent The Planning Board on our inaugural Community Preservation Committee.
I am against Capitalism. I am against Imperialism and war in all forms. I am against Fascism and Nationalism. I am against Liberal Reformism.
I am for labor unions. I am for free universal health insurance. I am for shifting tax burdens from the working class to the wealthy. I am for transparency in Government. I believe housing is a right not a privilege.
We, as Socialists, choose not to run on The Democratic Party Line as they no longer represent the working class in Massachusetts.
- Demand Rent Control.
- Repeal Oppressive Gun Control Laws.
- Demand The Right to Organize at Work.
Labor Unions.
Wealth Tax Increases.
An elected official should be transparent and honest. They should never embellish their power or diminish their capacities.
An elected official should speak in simple terms, have ASL interpreters and multiple translators at arm's length.
I am a kind and giving person who truly understands the pain so many are in.
Also, seeing Mikhail Gorbachev and George Bush proudly announcing an end to The Cold War.
