I am running for Girls Inc. of New York City. Girls Inc. inspires all girls to be strong, smart, and bold, delivering life transforming programs to girls and young women throughout New York City. Through education and advocacy, we prepare girls to navigate gender, economic, and social barriers to advance to a more equitable world.

  • More than 80% of program participants identify as girls of color.
