Get StartedWe need to divest from private prisons and work to promote true restorative justice as well as end the school-to-prison pipeline and the war on poverty aka the war on drugs. Learn more
The problem within our juvenile justice system sadly often begins with Student Resource Officers funneling students into the prison pipeline. This has to be addressed and then eliminated. I am opposed to any law enforcement detail that policies our students. Learn more

I believe we must be good stewards of our planet by continuing to invest in multi-model transportation options and making sure they are convenient enough to encourage citizens to use them daily. Affordable fares and ease of access are key. Our current system favors the park-and-ride model which is problematic for the whole as we need models that actually allow residents public transportation that extends from home to work and back.
