Phara

She is the daughter of Haitian immigrants and a lifelong resident of Crown Heights. Police violence and poor housing conditions were a fact of life growing up, but she decided to organize and hasnt stopped since. As a field nurse providing care directly in peoples homes, she sees firsthand how our state government has abandoned the working class. As a tenant leader, Phara spearheaded the formation of a tenant association to fight back against evictions and gentrification. Working with the Housing Justice for All coalition, she helped win the historic tenant protections established in 2019. Phara will keep fighting for tenants and working people in Albany.

With COVID-19, a severe housing crisis, and rampant police brutality, Phara knows that we must take action to put people over profits. Pharas plan is to ensure that poor and working people are prioritized in our COVID-19 response. Shes calling for an end to racist policing and a new approach to public safety that doesnt require force. She has concrete ideas to ensure that all New Yorkers have the right to free universal healthcare, high quality housing, a livable planet, and can organize for higher wages and better working conditions. Phara will fight for us because shes one of us. During this mounting health and economic crisis, the call for democratic socialism has only grown louder. Our government has failed to prepare and now it is failing to adequately respond. We demand a response that puts human wellbeing before the interests of corporations and the wealthy.
