Christian Celeste Tate

Rents, displacement and social housing

Wants to create a state Social Housing Development Authority to build permanently affordable homes statewide, expand Good Cause eviction protections, defend rent stabilization and pass the Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act. Backs a tax on speculative home flipping, and says fighting displacement means standing up to the real estate lobby.

Immigration enforcement in New York

Wants to pass the New York for All Act to bar state agencies from collaborating with ICE, adopt Access to Representation legislation guaranteeing every New Yorker an immigration lawyer in deportation cases, and pass the MELT Act to bar law enforcement officers from concealing their identities while on duty.

Public safety, policing and prisons

Wants to improve public safety through community investment and prevention, addressing generational cycles of poverty and inequality: funding violence interruption programs and expanding access to mental health care and substance abuse counseling. Supports abolishing forced labor in New York prisons and enforcing the HALT Act's limits on solitary confinement.

Health coverage

Supports passing the New York Health Act to create universal health care in New York.

Child care, schools and CUNY

Supports no-cost child care, 3-K and pre-K statewide. Wants to make CUNY tuition-free through the New Deal for CUNY, and backs the REPAIR Act, which he says would make private colleges pay their fair share.
