"After many years of advocacy from myself and others, and many rounds of fearmongering from past leaders, I’m encouraged that the city is acting to challenge old assumptions and advance new approaches.
"With so far to go to reshape our systems, I’m glad that the Mamdani administration is taking these first steps, and moving with the deliberate pace this work demands. We cannot overhaul public safety overnight, and to try would threaten both success and safety. Nor can we continue to do what has already failed our communities. By gradually rebuilding existing infrastructure and creating innovative systems, we can sustain transformational change in the long term.
"I’m ready to help steer and shepherd this initiative in whatever ways I’m able. I’ve been on this path for over a decade, and I’m glad to have an administration willing to move in the direction we need to produce true community safety."
