"what we practice at the small scale sets patterns for the whole system"

I will be an advocate for strong wages, benefits, and worker protections. I will stand with Unions and workers who are ready to organize.

Small businesses are the heart of our community, and they need our support more than ever. I will work to lift the profile of our small businesses and bring our cottage businesses into the fold.

Our local infrastructure–sidewalks, crosswalks, bus shelters, roads, bike paths, parks, and so much more–make our community accessible for everyone. I will work for infrastructure that makes our city more livable and accessible. 

At a local level, we get to care for our small part of the world. I will advocate for  strong environmental practices including renewable energy and pollinator-friendly parks.  

Our currently public safety model isn't working. I will promote a public safety model that lifts our whole community without traumatizing anyone.

I will advocate for policies and structures that lift all of us, but I will pay special attention to those among us whose identities bring particular systematic vulnerabilities–our neighbors who are black, brown, immigrant, disabled, women, gay, non-binary and/or trans.
