There’s been lots of talk lately of dismantling corrupt systems, mostly in relation to police brutality. But there’s another system that needs tearing down down if New Yorkers are to achieve true justice.

We must dismantle the city’s all-powerful political machines, starting in the Bronx.

My name is Lattina Brown. I’m a mother, activist, tenant organizer, and community leader dedicated to improving the lives of all Bronx residents. We can help do so by expanding access to high-quality, affordable housing and health care, immigrant services, education, bolstering women’s rights, and bringing communities of color together.
