| Collapse all
- Everyone has a right to quality, affordable housing and I’ve worked tirelessly to make sure our community has a right to self determination, not leave planning up to real estate.
- The NYC education system supports over a million New Yorkers each day, and as a product of New York City public schools, I am committed to fighting for all public school students, providing them with all the resources they need to thrive
- I envision a City that prioritizes investments to social services over increased policing, eliminating the NYPD’s most harmful programs and practices.
I am in this fight to see my community thrive and make sure the city I love works for all of its residents. I am running because the women of my community, who have been holding their neighbors up, encouraged me to do so. I am running because the experience of so many in my district is so similar to my own, and I want to fight for a better one. We need to address equity in our City, not just equality.
