Advocates for making access to safe, legal abortion the law of the land.

Climate & Energy

Supports a Green New Deal–style agenda including aggressive decarbonization, major clean-energy and building retrofit investments, transitioning away from fossil-fuel peaker plants, and pursuing carbon-neutrality and environmental justice (including job training and reparative investments) at the city/district level.

Public Safety & Guns

The candidate supports defunding and ultimately disbanding the NYPD, replacing policing with community-led, public-health–centered violence prevention (e.g., Cure Violence, Crisis Management System), and investing in community-based alternatives to reduce gun violence. The candidate opposes expansions of policing tactics (including revival of plainclothes units) and supports keeping safeguards like discovery and bail reform in place while rejecting criminalizing minors for gun possession.
