I cant solve the poverty problem, but there are things you can do to mitigate its effects on kids.

It always takes a scandal to bring about reform.

Even the best parents have to spend so much time making ends meet that they cannot help their kids with homework or afford the extra tutoring that wealthier students enjoy. To address these unjust disparities, we need an early education revolution.

When I talk about the city, I talk about a city that elevates people, which is the strength of New York. We always had the ability to do that. We had the services to do that: good schools, living-wage jobs. We're moving away from that toward a two-tiered system: a small group of very wealthy people and the rest of the city, poor and working poor.

By regulating marijuana, we can put black market drug dealers out of business and eliminate the rebellious allure that attracts young people.

It's an intolerable abuse of power to have employees who are supposed to be advancing the public interest actually working on political campaigns.
