Thanks!

  Great news: The April fundraising deadline goal we were worried about missing? We knocked it out of the park with a few minutes to spare. Thank you so much, John! It's heartening for Ritchie to know that he can count on this team when it matters most. We couldn't be more grateful …

RE: Ritchie Torres is the voting rights champion we need

  John, We're proud to have the support of Voter Protection Project, and we hope you are too! VPP's support shows Ritchie's commitment to addressing unequal ballot access and ridding our politics of dark money from special interest groups and corporate PACs. If you want to actually…

Ritchie Torres is the voting rights champion we need

  John, As President of the Voter Protection Project, I oversee our efforts to end voter suppression by electing more voting rights champions to public office. After the Supreme Court ruled last year in favor of partisan gerrymandering, the VPP was founded to fight back against righ…

Check out my profile in the New Yorker

  John, I’m reminded every time I walk by Ciccarone Park why I got into public service in the first place - the elderly lady relaxing after a long day, playful kids running around, a couple watching the sunset as their dog embarks on a nearby adventure.   The people who pass throu…

What exactly is Jared Kushner doing?

  John, Two years ago - in partnership with the tenants rights group Housing Rights Initiative - we released a report that had a stunning conclusion: Over a nearly 3-year period, Jared Kushner’s real estate company falsely claimed to have zero rent-regulated tenants in 34 of its b…

No oversight???

  John, Democrats in Congress have rightfully sounded the alarm from the beginning about oversight of the $2 trillion stimulus package.   Because incompetence and corruption are guiding principles for the Trump administration, there are serious concerns about trusting them with few…

Your immediate help is requested, John

  John, With the global economy reeling from the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, income inequality is rightly on the minds of Bronx families.   The pain wrought by the 2008 financial crisis was felt acutely by Main Street - in the Bronx, and in cities and towns around the country. But s…
