A political revolution without love & compassion is not a revolution. Leading with heart, humility, centering the collective experiences of our community & turning to the movement on ways to advance demands in electoral spaces is a way we translate our activism into power 2/9

Running for office is a difficult & lonely thing to do when you are a working-class Black or Brown woman. The status quo erases us at every turn. We experience misogyny from the toxic, patriarcal, corporate media & Dem establishment that tells us we aren’t enough as we are. 3/9

I am incredibly proud of what our team has accomplished in this election. We were uncompromising in our beliefs & stayed true to our community values. We not only had support & leadership from local residents in #NY15, but co-created a spirit of transnational solidarity. 5/9

We had people from the rest of the US & international community join our team from the South Bronx, Puerto Rico, Haiti, Yemen, Bangladesh, West Africa, Dominican Republic, Senegal, Mexico, Hawaii, England, France, and Kenya. Our campaign was transnational and borderless. 6/9
