Immigration & Border
Supports sanctuary protections for immigrant residents, opposes large-scale deportations and expanded ICE presence in city facilities, and advocates policies to protect immigrants from federal enforcement actions. Emphasizes that sanctuary policies increase public safety and opposes allowing ICE access to Rikers Island or other city properties.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports protecting and expanding access to abortion and reproductive health care, including codifying protections and funding services so New York remains a safe haven for people seeking abortion care. Has sponsored and voted for City Council measures to protect abortion access and opposed restrictions that would limit abortion rights. 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.
