"New York City's criminal justice system is in desperate need of change, and on Tuesday, June 25, New Yorkers have the opportunity to elect an activist and community organizer to the New York City Council who can help get it done. For more than a decade, Monique Chandler-Waterman has been a leader within her community who has been unafraid to speak truth to power and shine a light on the inequities of our justice system. She's consistently fought for what's right, no matter t...he cost, and understands that ending police misconduct requires standing up against special interests like the Pat Lynch and the Police Benevolent Association (PBA), who's defense of officers like those who killed Eric Garner, have prevented our city from pursuing a robust criminal justice equity agenda. Any candidate who truly cares about justice and equity must work against what Pat Lynch and the PBA has stood
for, which is why I am proud to endorse Monique to be the next New York City Member of the 45th District."
