Being at the nexus of many different projects, Claudia has been a key convener of organizations and social movements, connecting various groups of people to merge struggles together in the overarching fight for justice. </p><p>Born to immigrant parents from the Dominican Republic, she was nourished by the Black and Caribbean working class communities of the Bronx and Washington Heights in the 1980s and 90s. At an early age, she was questioning the conditions of poverty, violence, and oppression in her neighborhood, serving as her first entry point to understanding working class consciousness. Through various campaigns to free political prisoners, stop imperialist projects, and end police terror-- to name a few-- she understood there was only one solution to our collective problems: to fight for a socialist future. </p><p>Most recently, she has served as the Co-Executive Director and co-founder of the The People’s Forum in New York City—a political education space and cultural home for working-class organizers, leaders and intellectuals from all over the world. </p><p>She is running with a steadfast conviction that we must build political organizations and a mass movement independent from the two party system of the ruling class. </p> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading-key-message-203506-2024-10-03" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse-key-message-203506-2024-10-03"> <p class="panel-title" style="font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;"> <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse-key-message-203506-2024-10-03" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse-key-message-203506-2024-10-03"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-right pull-right"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></i> Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign.

The new Cold War against China and Russia must end, along with associated aggression like the proxy war in Ukraine, massive military shipments to Taiwan, or any and all military build up against any targeted nation. The vast network of military bases the Pentagon maintains in other countries should be immediately closed. We demand the abolition of the NATO military alliance and AFRICOM. Cruel economic sanctions imposed on countries around the world – including Cuba, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Eritrea, North Korea and Iran – must be lifted. All U.S. aid to apartheid Israel must immediately end. The CIA should be abolished, and its secrets exposed so the world knows the true extent of this agency’s crimes.<br /> <br /> The approximately $1 trillion that the U.S. taxpayers spend every year on war should instead be spent to address the dire crises facing working people. The price of key goods, especially gas, could be dramatically lowered if the suffocating economic sanctions the U.S. government imposes on countries around the world were lifted. Humanity needs a world order based on cooperation and peace, not domination and war. </p> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="panel panel-default"> <div class="panel-heading" role="tab" id="heading6-203506-2024-10-03" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse6-203506-2024-10-03"> <p class="panel-title" style="font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;"> <a role="button" data-toggle="collapse" href="#collapse6-203506-2024-10-03" class="collapsed" data-parent="#accordion" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="collapse6-203506-2024-10-03"> <i class="fa fa-chevron-right pull-right"></i> <i class="fa fa-chevron-down pull-right"></i> What are your views on financial transparency and government accountability? </a> </p> </div> <div id="collapse6-203506-2024-10-03" class="panel-collapse collapse" role="tabpanel" aria-labelledby="heading6-203506-2024-10-03"> <div class="panel-body" style="max-height: 500px; overflow-y: scroll;"> <div class="answers-container"> <span style="font-size: 14px;"> <p> Bribery in America is a legal, recognized industry called corporate lobbying. This practice must be outlawed, and all politicians should be subject to a ban on serving on any corporate board or holding an executive position of any type at a private company after leaving office. All Wall Street bailouts would end immediately. Similarly, millionaires and billionaires should no longer be allowed to buy elections through lavish donations. All campaigning should be publicly financed, and the different loopholes like Super PACs that billionaires use to get around donation limits should be immediately closed. <br /> <br /> Under a democracy by the workers, war criminals and Wall Street con men would be locked up – finally brought to justice for their monstrous crimes against the people. Corruption is a bipartisan issue for the U.S. ruling class. People like Hunter Biden and Jared Kushner alike abuse their positions of power to secure lucrative sources of income and flout the law. Some members of the ultra-rich grow even wealthier by facilitating the crimes of others, like JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, whose bank counted Jeffrey Epstein among its clients. The wrong people are in jail. Instead of incarcerating millions of poor people caught in desperate situations, the ones who should be held to account are the corrupt capitalists. </p> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div data-nosnippet="" class="small"> <p><i><b>Note:</b> Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses.
