This campaign started with just four women, sitting around a kitchen table, saying: we have to change the system.
So I did what many thought was unthinkable for a 31-year-old Queer Latina public defender whose parents grew up in the Woodside Houses. I decided to run.

- Make no mistake. The intention is to suppress and criminalize protest. It’s about control, not safety.The Kenosha County Sheriff’s Department announced an 8 p.m. curfew for the second night in a row Monday. The curfew follows unrest in Kenosha after the police shooting of Jacob Blake Sunday. The curfew will be enforced until 7 a.m. Tuesday. wuwm.com/post/kenosha-o…
- .@aoc didn’t care how much I raised or what electeds had endorsed me. She just wanted to know if my neighbors were behind me.
- No such thing as a “low skill worker.”
- Heartbroken doesn’t cut it. The subway should be safe and free. The NYPD committed a mass shooting over $2.90, now Gregory Depelche is brain dead. We need to lift people out of poverty, not criminalize it. The NYPD put every person on the train in danger. NYC needs care, not cops
- .@PeteButtigieg WTF?! Justifying an increase in arrests of Black men for cannabis in his city by saying it was connected to violence and gangs. Was already #NeverPete, but have to say hard 👏🏽 fucking 👏🏽 pass 👏🏽 again. #demdebate
- I’m sure every one remembers the first time you saw @aoc. This 28-year-old bartender ferociously knocking her way through her district while the political machine laughed and mocked her.
- Cash bail is wrong—period. We can’t have two systems of justice: one for the poor and one for the wealthy. But we shouldn’t replace cash bail with another system that over-surveils black and brown communities. Folks don’t need ankle bracelets, they need meaningful support.00:00
- I’m a queer Latina from a working-class family. People like us are exactly who the system is trying to keep down. That’s why I became a public defender—and that’s why I’m running for Queens DA. Watch our new ad and help us bring real justice to Queens: bit.ly/2ETD4O300:00
- Transforming this system will not be easy, and it will not happen overnight. But I am ready. We are ready.
- “Conservative feminism” is not a thing. It’s an oxymoron.
- #TyreNichols family asked this be the video we share of him. Watch it & know Tyre, like all our loved ones, deserved to live a long beautiful life free from state sanctioned murder. For Black & brown folks around the US, police violence is the greatest threat to that future.Before the Memphis Police Dept. releases the video of 5 MPD officers murdering #TyreNichols during a routine traffic stop, and that heinous video inevitably goes viral, I want to amplify THIS video of Tyre LIVING his best life. 🛹👑🙏🏿😔✊🏿 #JusticeForTyreNichols 🎥: Austin Dean00:00
