VOTE FOR CHANGE

Give a voice to  everyone in the community. As a professional architect, Angela knows how important it is for the residents of our fast-growing community to play a role in new developments. Low income and senior housing, more parks, street beautifications and community services should be a part of new developments. 

Listen to the residents of this district and organize meetings and events to address issues impacting our quality of life. Address our issues with the elected officials and monitor progress.

Engage the community to participate in local elections and work to open more voting sites. Southern Brooklyn has had dismayingly low Democratic voter turnout in recent elections.  Many seniors are unable to vote because over the years, numerous polling places have closed. 

Work with organizations that serve under represented local immigrants and minorities to encourage voting.  

Educate and inform people about District Leader roles and responsibilities. A few months ago, I didn't know what a District Leader was and what his/her responsibilities were.  I would like to educate people and explain that District Leaders should be elected by the people they represent, not appointed by other politicians.   

The residents of our fast growing community should be part of the new developments - low income housing, parks and streets beautifications, community services should be a part of new urban development program
