What happens in New York affects national policy in very significant ways.

New York City is one of the most vulnerable cities in the world to climate change, so I see Keystone as the central threat to New York.

Public education is so important - resisting privatization and charterization, high-stakes testing, and defunding. It's important for New York, but it's also important for the country.

Because jurors have an extraordinary amount of power over the situation and of the people and the story in front of them, they tend to pay pretty intense attention to what's happening.

Having more candidates come with a creative and artistic sensibility would actually bring more people out to vote.

Oftentimes people get it wrong when they say we need to educate voters first and then give them power. I tend to favor giving them power first.

What I see increasingly is that companies are playing political roles. We should actually have our research and our laws map that.
