NEWARK NJ
Our vision is rooted in equity, transparency, and a future where every voice is heard.
Advancing Economic Empowerment
- We need pathways to meaningful employment for our citizens to thrive. The loss of jobs and lack of training resources hinders our growth.
- We need opportunities to build businesses and support the local economy everywhere in the city, increasing the investment in the regrowth of devastated neighborhoods.
We aim to create jobs, support small businesses, and ensure fair wages by promoting sustainable economic growth.
Enhancing Education and Mentoring
- Education is the foundation to success in life. Education helps break generational curses and is key to transforming communities and building generational wealth.
- Mentorship and the willingness to invest in each other — that’s community building on a grassroots level.
We will invest in schools, support teachers, and provide equal opportunities for every student to succeed.
Ensuring Public Safety
Safety remains a top concern throughout our city, particularly for our youth and young adults. We need avenues for our youth to learn conflict resolution and resolve issues without the use of violence.
We are committed to safer communities through responsible policing, supporting and enhancing violence prevention programs, crime prevention, and emergency preparedness.
Building Future Forward Infrastructure
Our city infrastructure is a daily reminder
Roads, buildings, sewers and sanitation, traffic, and streetlights are the first indicators of a well-functioning city. Our vital city systems can’t support the current infrastructure and, if we are to be a city of the future, will require significant repair and maintenance.
We will address infrastructure issues as well as the effects of climate change and the environmental factors impacting the condition of city systems and neighborhoods.
