Housing Justice For ALL
With the East NY Community Land Trust, I’ve knocked on hundreds of doors, organized rallies, and stood with neighbors in court to fight back against predatory investors and help keep my neighbors in their homes.
I grew up navigating inequality every day.
Growing up the son of a special education teacher and a small business owner, my family lived without excess. My parents gave everything to meet our family’s needs and to send my sister and I to a private school. Commuting between the working-class community I grew up in and the wealthy one I went to school in, I learned how wealth determines life experience.
For my peers, wealth created stability, security, and certainty—but for my family it seemed that no matter how hard my parents worked, how deeply they stressed, or how much they sacrificed, financial security was always out of reach.

Invested to fight poverty and inequality
After graduating with degrees in government and economics, I worked long hours as a strategy consultant. In 2020, inspired by the community I found in New York’s BLM protests, I dedicated myself to social change.
As an impact consultant, I work with philanthropists and nonprofits to fight poverty and reduce inequality.
I’ve spent countless hours pounding the pavement with my neighbors to build a better future.
grassroots Political power
As North Brooklyn Chapter Chair for New York Communities for Change, I have organized neighbors to support campaigns to tax the rich, freeze the rent, and create a public bank.
Electoral Campaigns
As East Brooklyn Field Coordinator for the Zohran campaign, I helped to build our presence in East New York, Cypress Hills, and City Line. With the Working Families Party, I have helped build the base of this movement by leading canvasses for WFP candidates and fighting to keep the WFP ballot line.
Socialist Movement Building
With NYC-DSA, I’ve helped lead the Afrosocialists and Socialists of Color Caucus to build a movement that reflects the beauty and diversity of our city. With the North Brooklyn Branch’s Community Solidarity Committee, I’ve worked to strengthen relationships between DSA members and local community groups.

We have the power to build the Brooklyn we deserve
One where everyone has access to housing, healthcare, safety, and dignity.
I'm running for State Assembly because the status quo is suffocating us. We live in the wealthiest city on Earth and yet a quarter of New York families live in poverty. Every year, the wealthy accumulate power while the working class—Black, brown, and immigrant communities especially—are pitted against each other as if there isn't enough to go around.
None of that is normal and none of it has to be this way. We have the power to build the city we deserve but to do it we need an assembly member who is present with and accountable to the people of this district.
