Campaign Platform

Morgan is committed to investing in worker power and the labor movement by supporting unions and organized labor.

 Affordability Agenda 

Housing

Working families who are both renters and co-op owners are being crushed by out-of-control fees from a building maintenance crisis.

 

One of the most pressing in the district is the existential threat to the historic Amalgamated Houses in Van Cortlant Village. Morgan will work to save the nation's first cooperative and affordable housing model that's facing financial and structural demise.

Childcare 

​ Bronx families have the least affordable childcare in New York, with many parents paying almost half of their salaries and wages toward it.

 

Morgan knows the struggle firsthand. She and her husband were in debt for five years after paying for childcare on credit cards. Morgan will prioritize bringing safe, affordable childcare to the Northwest Bronx centering equitable access to quality care and early education.

Local Economy

The vitality of our local businesses and their ability to stay open should be equally a state priority as it is the city's.

​

Storefront safety initiatives and state programs that help businesses thrive will be a top priority. Morgan is working to address the most critical needs impacting the local economy throughout the district. It will involve including new immigrant small businesses and merchants to have a voice.​

Civil Rights

Disability Rights

Morgan is calling for state legislative action in response to the Trump administration’s attacks on disability rights. The Department of Justice removed nearly a dozen Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliance guidance for businesses this year. These moves are promises to roll back enforcement of the ADA including Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act–federal civil rights protections for educational services and programs for the disabled that receive funding from the U.S. Department of Education. The Trump administration has shown that they are capable of delivering Project 2025's mission to gut the ADA and dismantle the Department of Education.

Immigrant Rights

It's time to end the state-sanctioned violence and murder by federal agents and time to demand full accountability of ICE's limitless evil and cruelty across the state and in the Bronx.
​
Morgan is calling for the expulsion of ICE out of New York and immediate passage of NY FOR ALL to prohibit state agencies from cooperating or colluding with DHS and ICE, and the passage of the MELT ACT, which would prohibit federal agents from hiding behind masks and operating in unmarked vehicles and plainclothes. 
 
Morgan has and continues to organize Know Your Rights and rapid response trainings in the Northwest Bronx.​

Healthcare &
Maternal Health

Whether it's addressing the healthcare worker shortage or calling for additional investments in developmental healthcare clinics, Morgan is working on a comprehensive plan that will address growing concerns of high insurance premiums, obstacles with prior authorizations and a state response to the dangerous and politicized agenda of the  new U.S. Department of Health.
 
As a woman who suffered post-partum hemorrhaging after  medical professionals didn't believe her concerns during pregnancy, Morgan will work to lower maternal mortality,  especially among women of color.
