Get StartedIn addition to the maternal health crisis, women in the Bronx are facing attacks to their right to make their own reproductive health choices. Crisis pregnancy centers are prevalent in the Bronx, which are fake abortion clinics which rely on misinformation and trickery to dissuade women from undergoing abortions, outnumber real clinics which provide abortion services in NYC. Once in office, Andre will fight to outlaw crisis pregnancy centers, and fully fund the clinics that actually provide reproductive health services. Andre will also fight to enshrine abortion rights into law – so that our human rights are not subject to the whims of the undemocratic Supreme Court. Learn more
Andre will fight to ensure Congress does its duty – holding police officers accountable for violations of constitutional rights. This includes criminal penalties for officers and departments engaged in patterns of constitutional violations, and mandatory data transparency on police killings, use of force, and misconduct records, enforced through federal law. Andre will also fight to secure protections for whistleblowers in uniform, so officers who speak out against violence or misconduct are not punished. Learn more
Bloated police budgets don’t make us safer, and neither does sending in the military to illegally occupy our cities. Despite the resources poured into overpolicing our neighborhoods, violent crime rates continue to rise, including gun violence and felony assaults. Once in office, Andre will fund the solutions to violence that actually work: violence interruption programs rooted in our communities, mental health and drug treatment for all who need it, and real economic security – because poverty is the biggest threat to public safety. Learn more
That’s Andre’s vision: redirect money earmarked for war and violence abroad towards the resources our people desperately need. Learn more
Higher education should be a ladder out of poverty, not a trap that keeps people stuck. The promise of college was never meant to come with a lifetime of bills. Your dreams shouldn’t bankrupt you. Andre will cancel all student debt, and make all higher education tuition free. Learn more
As a teacher in the South Bronx for 12 years, Andre knows that Bronx schools are crying out for more funding. Andre will ensure the national government guarantees equal resources for every student: modern classrooms, counselors, art and cultural education, and after-school programs. With a student body in NY-15 suffering from high rates of student homelessness, Andre will push to guarantee every family an affordable home, and turn our schools into hubs of support, not just survival.

Once in office, Andre will support all efforts to impose an arms embargo on Israel and to implement a ceasefire, and introduce legislation to end all US aid to Israel – the only way to end this war. Learn more
Once elected to office, Andre will fight for Healthcare for All, so no one faces financial barriers to accessing medical care. Learn more
Healthcare is a right, not a privilege, and that includes mental health. Andre will fight for a federal guarantee of free, universal mental healthcare, fully funded and available in our neighborhoods: that means no co-pays, no premiums, and no bills for therapy, psychiatric care, or medication. Learn more
New public housing builds will not only be good quality and fully modernized, they will be truly affordable, with rents that cost us no more than 20% of our income. And for those already living in public housing, Andre will fight to accomplish what neither party has been able to do: fully fund the backlog of needed repairs – including thorough safety inspections – so no family lives in danger. Learn more
Taking back what we’re owed means heavy fines for fossil fuel corporations and polluters who make us breathe dirty air; the developers and landlords who keep housing unaffordable; and the Big Pharma giants that keep our communities suffering through an addiction crisis. No one needs to sit on billions of dollars while the majority of us live under the burden of everyday costs. We could get those billions back through a hefty tax on the ultra-wealthy. Learn more
Andre will fight to raise the federal minimum wage to $30 an hour. Learn more
