Occupation

My Top Issues
Foreign Policy
I will fight to ensure New York nonprofits are not funding displacement of the Palestinian people or illegal settlement activity, aligning our city’s values with justice at home and globally and divesting from Israeli settler violence.
Education
I will support an end to the 300 million tax break for mega-universities and use that revenue to fund free CUNY tuition for every NYC public school graduate, so young people can stay, study, and succeed in the city they call home.
Housing
Our neighbors deserve safe, dignified homes. I will fight to build new, permanently affordable, mixed-income public housing that guarantees long-term stability for our neighbors and secure major investments to repair and modernize NYCHA.
Taxes / Budget
Parents deserve the opportunity to care for their children without financial fear. I will fight for universal, free childcare for every family in New York. I will push for expanded paid parental leave, one month before birth and up to six months after, and a 500 monthly stipend for every newborn’s first year.
Economy
Our commercial corridors should uplift our community, not sit empty. I will protect our legacy small businesses from predatory rent hikes by passing commercial rent stabilization and secure grants that help new, local, and immigrant owned businesses fill vacant storefronts.
Immigration
Every immigrant neighbor deserves to be safe in our community. I will fight for the NY for All Act to prohibit local agencies from collaborating with ICE and the MELT Act to ban masked or unidentifiable federal agents.
