Campaign website

Morales' campaign website stated the following:

Time and time again, New Yorkers show up for each other — even when their electeds fail to show up for them. When our nation, state and city were at their lowest, it was our working class community that bailed us out. Not banks, but bodegas. Not billionaires, but bus drivers. Not Tesla, but teachers. We need city leadership that values all of its constituents — from the expecting mother to the senior janitor. We invest in our city because it is supposed to enhance our quality of life — not diminish it. And we deserve a Mayor who sees all of her constituents as human beings. Especially those whose humanity has been silenced, suppressed and denied.

Dianne Morales’ policy platform is built on the belief that politics should work for all the people and that we are stronger and better positioned to grow when every New Yorker is prioritized, oppressive systems are eliminated and barriers are removed. The people who help keep New York City afloat, in and out of a pandemic, are the same ones struggling because our system was designed for them to struggle.

Anything that is designed to keep us back can be undone and redesigned. We need the will and the right leader.

Dianne Morales is that leader.

Under a Morales Administration, we will finally center the needs of those disproportionately underserved, because it is the right thing to do and because it benefits everyone.

DIGNITY

Being responsive to multiple crises by undoing oppressive policies and ensuring all New Yorkers have the basics: safety, shelter, healthcare, a job and opportunity.

CARE

Valuing and scaling a care economy to serve dual roles of service and employment.

SOLIDARITY

A unified city measuring growth beyond revenue, but in how well the city serves the most vulnerable and how swiftly we deepen equity.

NEW YORKERS DESERVE DIGNITY NOW

Under a Morales Administration, we will finally acknowledge the value of a care economy, and expand skilled employment opportunities within fields in high demand: healthcare, education, green economy, public interest lawyers and human services.

NEW YORKERS DESERVE A CARE ECONOMY.

Under a Morales Administration, we will finally take all that we’ve marched for and advance a city that balances growth and prosperity with justice, fairness and equity. Our city should not only be liveable for a privileged few. Our city must be home to everyone who invests in it.

TOGETHER, WE CAN BE SOLIDARITY NYC.

Dianne’s entire career has been dedicated to serving the People. And while others see service as charity, Dianne sees it as a responsibility. Which is why even in developing this policy platform, she and her team have consulted organizers, activists, practitioners and academics all dedicated to a recovery that radically takes us forward — not brings us back. We thank all of those voices for co-building an agenda that builds upon a foundation of dignity for all and believes that we are stronger when we see the opportunity in a care economy and an ecosystem of solidarity.[1]
