Jabari's Platform
Children & Families
As the chair of the Children & Families Committee, I am dedicated to making New York a more just state for all of our residents.
Housing
High-quality housing is a human right, and I will fight tooth and nail to ensure that right for all New Yorkers.
Community Safety
Fundamentally, my philosophy towards public safety is guided by the principle that the way we make neighborhoods safer is by providing people with housing, stable jobs, health care, child care, and well-funded schools.
Healthcare
Our healthcare system should promote dignity for all and be a centerpiece of our vision for an economy that runs for the many, not the few.
Education
As a former public school teacher, I have seen firsthand the potential of our public schools—a quality education can tremendously impact young peoples’ lives.
Labor
I will fight to protect and expand the power of unions, make it easier for workers to organize their workplaces, and extend labor protections to all workers regardless of union status.
Climate
We are facing a global climate emergency, and we must act quickly and decisively to avoid catastrophe. For New York to do its part in the fight for climate justice, the State must fully divest from fossil fuels and enact a state-level Green New Deal.
Transit
New Yorkers rely on public transportation every day, but our current transit system does not work well for millions of working-class people. New York has the infrastructure to be a leader in creating a truly great transit system.
Immigration
I believe in creating a New York that includes all of its residents and neighbors, regardless of country of origin or citizenship status.
Economic Justice
It is our moral duty to fight inequality in New York State, by closing tax loopholes, ending tax breaks for billionaires and corporations, and implementing a truly progressive tax code in New York State.
