Top Priorities
  • Advance Mayor Mamdani's affordability agenda: real affordable/social housing, community care, accessible public spaces, people over profit.
  • "Trump-proof" NYC: abolish ICE, expand anti-discrimination protections, fund abortion/gender-affirming care, migrant/unhoused services, defend schools from censorship, resist hate.
  • Immigrant protections: driver's licenses/transit access, end NYPD-ICE data-sharing/broken windows policing, cut ICE contracts/subsidies (e.g., Pier 40, Crye Precision).
