Our Issues
Governance
An effective government is critical to the health of our city — and has been threatened by a municipal staffing crisis, low voter turnout, and bureaucratic red tape.
Housing
A housing affordability crisis has resulted in record high rents, record low vacancies, and a severe shortage in housing — pricing many New Yorkers out of the city.
Climate
The City is not on track to meet its critical carbon neutrality goals — and New Yorkers are already suffering from the impacts of climate change.
Child Care

Mental Health
A broken mental healthcare system has resulted in New Yorkers with serious mental illness delaying or not receiving the treatment they need.
