To-infinitive

Women like me aren't supposed to run for office

I wasn't born to a wealthy or powerful family

Mother from Puerto Rico, dad from the South Bronx

I was born in a place where your zip code determines your destiny

I'm an educator, an organizer, a working class New Yorker

I've worked with expectant mothers, I've waited tables, and led classrooms

and going into politics wasn't in the plan

But after 20 years of the same representation, we have to ask:

Every day gets harder for working families like mine to get by

The rent gets higher, health care covers less, and our income stays the same

It's clear that these changes haven't been for us

It's time to fight for a New York that working families can afford

It's time we acknowledge that not all Democrats are the same

That a Democrat who takes corporate money, profits off foreclosure, doesn't live here

doesn't send his kids to our schools,  doesn't drink our water or breathe our air

What the Bronx and Queens needs is Medicare-for-all, tuition-free public college

a federal jobs guarantee, and criminal justice reform

It doesn't take a hundred years to do this

Vote for Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on June 26
