Growing up in Harlem I have seen how our elected officials continuously left our communities behind. I have seen friends and neighbors be evicted, struggle to access quality healthcare, or have trouble making ends meet. When I began to organize for tenants rights in my building and began to get involved in politics, the more I saw that it didn’t have to be this way for our people. Our elected officials were and are still failing us in Harlem.
I’m running for Assembly because we need change Now! I’m fighting for truly affordable housing, fully funding our schools, and healthcare for all. It's time we fight for a United Harlem that's represented in Albany!- Truly affordable housing - Secure truly affordable housing, invest in NYCHA, protect renters, and ensure everyone can access housing they can afford.
- Quality education for all - Fund our schools, invest in libraries, and tuition-free CUNYs & SUNYs.
- Healthcare for all - Pass the NY Health Act so everyone can access healthcare at no cost. Address the homelessness and mental health crisis so they receive the support they need.
