Wants a state Social Housing Development Authority to build permanently affordable, union-built homes, and zoning changes that allow more affordable housing near transit. Supports fully carrying out Good Cause Eviction, a Tenant Power Act requiring landlords to bargain with tenant unions, and the End Predatory Home Flipping Act.

Wants every MTA bus made fast and free, with rush-hour waits of six minutes or less, and supports funding the Interborough Express to link Queens and Brooklyn without a trip through Manhattan. Also wants New York City allowed to set its own speed limits and install traffic cameras to end traffic deaths.

Supports taxing the wealthy to raise money for social services that make people's lives more affordable.

Supports passing New York For All to end state and local law enforcement cooperation with ICE, and Dignity Not Detention to bar state and local contracts with ICE detention facilities. Also wants local law enforcement barred from contracting with Flock Safety, whose AI-enabled technology she says can be used by ICE.

Supports passing the Not On Our Dime bill, which would target tax-exempt charities that aid Israeli settler organizations, and banning what she calls the illegal sale of Palestinian land in New York. Opposes proposed "buffer zone" bills that would limit protests, and says she would fight attacks on the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement.

Wants to use the Build Public Renewables Act to make power a public good, which she says would lower bills, create union jobs and cut pollution. Supports a transition to renewable power at Ravenswood to reduce air pollution in Queens.
