I am running for the United States Congress in New York's 27th Congressional District on a platform eco-socialism, anti-fascism, anti-imperialism, and anti-capitalism. I don't fit into this political system and that's exactly why I am running. I don't like the label "progressive" as it has been co-opting by pseudo-progressive incrementalists who stand in the way of real actual justice. I not only consider myself to be a radical insurgent, the Department of Homeland Security considers me a radical insurgent along with thousands of other Standing Rock NoDAPL water protectors. I wear these labels as a badge of honor. The system is right to be afraid of us. I believe in disrupting the political system, the status quo and business as usual. It's not about politics it is a literal matter of life and death. As long as capitalist warmongers continue to control our way of life, millions of people continue to suffer and die every single day.
  • The fight against corporations and governments destroying the planet for profit. Eco-socialism standing up to ecocide.
  • The fight against the rise and mobilization of fascists and white supremacists.
  • The fight against the bipartisan imperialist war machine blowing up the planet and everyone on it for profit and power.
In addition to a platform of eco-socialism, anti-capitalism, anti-fascism, and anti-imperialism, I am calling for federal decriminalization of sex work and the repeal of SESTA/FOSTA. Sex work is work. Furthermore, I am calling for violence against sex workers to federally be classified as a hate crime, as it is In North Yorkshire and other in parts of the UK.

I am also calling for a Federal Ban on ALL conversion therapy on children. This includes both Gay Conversion Therapy, and ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) Conversion Therapy on Autistic children. Furthermore, Autism Speaks and any other group who push these practices must be classified as a hate group
