DRUM Beats proudly re-endorses State Senator Kristen Gonzalez for her work and leadership in the fight in Albany to tax the rich through the introduction of the Corporate Fair Share act in the senate. Kristen emphasizes housing as a human right and a new vision for housing in New York state. At a time when Trump’s funding cuts on the federal level threaten to take health care away from so many New Yorkers, Kristen’s commitment to fight for a more just healthcare system will make a difference for everyday working people across the state.

We look forward to continuing to strengthen our cogovernance practice with Kristen as she keeps championing working class issues in Albany.

Our members were intrigued by the possibility of progressive positions - taxing the rich, community safety beyond policing, commitment to meeting public needs, standing with families impacted by abusive law enforcement, standing for Palestine - being held by a former police officer.�

Through sustained engagement for many months, through tasking out mini-projects, through intense interviews with our members including families impacted by NYPD’s violence, and through our background research, we found Shamsul Haque to be a worthy candidate of our endorsement. ��

Shamsul’s commitment to accountability, working-class politics, and community-centered public safety has the potential to challenge traditional narratives around safety and strengthen progressive movements in Queens and beyond.

We look forward to Shamsul’s practice of co-governance with our members, and with working-class and progressive movements.��
