Get StartedI’ve spent my life fighting for civil rights—and I won’t stop now. I’ll protect free speech, protest rights, and the right to dissent, and I’ll fiercely defend Boston’s sanctuary city status. I’ll stand up against any effort—local or national—to roll back protections for immigrants, LGBTQ residents, communities of color, or any marginalized group. Learn more
True public safety means more than policing—it means prevention, care, and community investment. I’ll expand access to mental health services, fund proven violence prevention programs, and support community-based safety strategies that uplift rather than punish. Everyone deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood—without fear, over-policing, or criminalizing poverty and trauma. Learn more
On the Council, I’ll fight for a public safety approach that’s rooted in dignity, healing, and justice—for every resident, in every part of Boston. Learn more
I’ll work to close the racial wealth gap by expanding access to city contracts for minority- and women-owned businesses, supporting youth job programs, and investing in workforce development. I’ll also push for economic policies that lift up working families and create real pathways to generational wealth. Learn more
Our students deserve strong schools, safe learning environments, and real opportunity. I’ll fight for long-overdue school building upgrades, a seat at the table for our parents, teachers, and students, and push for a community schools model that brings wraparound services—like mental health care, afterschool programs, and family support—directly into our neighborhoods.

I’ll also ensure city-owned land is used for public good, not private luxury, and support tenant protections that keep communities whole. Learn more
Everyone deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. I’ll fight for rent stabilization, deeper investment in affordable housing, and real pathways to homeownership—especially for longtime residents and working families at risk of displacement. Learn more
Transportation is more than a commute—it’s a civil rights issue. Too many communities, especially in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Mattapan, have been underserved by public infrastructure for far too long. I’ll fight for equitable investment in these neighborhoods and support projects that reduce traffic violence, cut emissions, and connect residents to jobs, schools, and services. Learn more
Getting around Boston shouldn’t be a daily struggle—it should be safe, reliable, and affordable for everyone. I’ll push for better, faster, fare-free public transit, safer streets for walking and biking, and accessible sidewalks and crossings for seniors, people with disabilities, and families. Learn more
