“Good chances, because the women are already behind her. But once the Black men get behind her, she can’t lose. We’ve been waiting. Her family is like my neighbors back in St. Anne Parish [Jamaica]. KAMALA CAN’T LOSE!”
Asiyah – Mother of 4
“If she had spoken to us [the community leaders in Bed-Stuy] at Restoration Plaza, she would have had better chances, but you haven’t talked to the community or store owners, so how do you know what we want? I want to speak to her. I have been a community organizer for 36 years.”
Shawn – Bed-Stuy, 49
“I don’t align with politics. Can’t stand for her ’cause she stood for prison reform a few years back. I was locked up for 22 years. There’s a bridge between that reality and my reality.”
Amir – 32
“Slim. A lot of Black men have ended up in jail under her watch. I don’t like that she said no to reparations. As a member of an activist family, that’s a problem.”
