Civil Rights
jeannine kiely will fight for
Our commitment to civil rights must translate into real-life action. As an Assemblymember, I will work to combat all forms of discrimination, including antisemitism, Islamaphobia, racism, xenophobia, misogyny, and prejudice against the LGBTQ+ community. I will also continue to protect the rights of immigrants and refugees, oppose the dehumanizing tactics of ICE, and organize against the harmful impacts of federal anti-immigration policies.
I am absolutely committed to combating the rising tide of hatred and prejudice across our district and state. New York must be a safe, welcoming place for all communities, and that means taking a zero-tolerance stance against all forms of bigotry. I will be an unwavering opponent of antisemitism and Islamophobia, which threaten our communities.
We need comprehensive voting rights reform to ensure that every eligible citizen can easily cast a ballot. I will also advocate for expanding access to justice by securing increased funding for legal aid services, ensuring that low-income New Yorkers have a meaningful Right to Counsel in civil matters beyond just eviction.
My commitment to civil rights is at the center of every policy decision I make – from ensuring fair and dignified housing to demanding equitable funding for our public schools. I will relentlessly push for a New York that is truly inclusive, where justice prevails, and where every community can thrive without fear of discrimination or hate.
