Familia,

It is no mistake that our city is riddled with injustice and inequality for its people of color. So many of our systems were designed to exclude working class people and Black and Brown people. We were never intended to have equal access or opportunity. 

These policies will not change on their own. The change we are fighting for, as a movement, will not happen on its own.  Change must be pushed, and pushed hard. That is why it is crucial to support candidates who will fight for our movement, who will fight for change. I am asking that you help me on my quest to make NYC a city that works for everyone. Help us reach NYC matching funds by contributing today.

As one of the founding members of JumpStart, a national non-profit organization focused on preparing young children for their education, I have seen how the racism of our city has affected our youth’s ability to grow and learn. I have seen how the segregation and underfunding of New York City’s schools has taken opportunities away from students, preventing them from reaching their full potential. Fixing this must be a priority and a key component of creating a just city. 

As Mayor, it will be a top priority of mine to dismantle the inherent racism that persists in our city’s school system. 

But I can’t do that alone. Together, we can uproot the racism within our education system, end the school to prison pipeline, and give every child the opportunity to reach their full potential.  Contribute today and help us make educational opportunity a reality for all New Yorkers.

Your contribution means everything! Your support will help us get to the NYC matching funds threshold and bring us one step closer to a better NYC.

In Solidarity,

Dianne Morales
