I am a 28-year-old teacher living in The Bronx. I serve on Bronx Community Board 1. I’m strongly considering running for Assembly in District 84 (Mott Haven, Longwood, Hunts Point, Port Morris, Highbridge/Yankee Stadium). My parents immigrated to The Bronx from Jamaica, and my mom studied at Hostos Community College. From interning at the U.S. Department of Education, serving with the AmeriCorps program City Year, to my current work as a full-time public school teacher and leading a literacy organization, I have learned and experienced the tremendous importance of reading skills for our young people. Each day at school, I work to help striving readers move closer to grade level and learn more about the world around them. In my view, literacy is one of the most significant civil rights issues of our time. Right now, many students are reading far below grade level. But we can’t look at this issue in isolation. Important reading laws are not moving fast enough. Many students and educators do not have the resources and support they need to succeed. I am a democratic socialist running to keep a focus on literacy, public safety, and addressing the affordability crisis...and I am doing it all without accepting a cent of corporate or PAC donations. Join us! We will need at least 75 in district donations to unlock matching funds for our grassroots campaign. If you’re ready to send a Gen Z teacher to Albany to advocate for the Bronx, help us launch strong by pledging to be a DAY ONE supporter! https://actionnetwork.org/forms/christina-cover-for-assembly-day-one-supporters
