Running for Council Member from the 41st Council District Kings County City of New York

Bianca is a union leader and community organizer who has been fighting on the front lines for higher wages for all workers, worker safety, and securing resources and public safety for all public school students, regardless of race, gender, and income. She knows that the odds are stacked against everyday New Yorkers and has first-hand experience building strong and effective coalitions with people who may not always agree. As a former Verizon Wireless worker, Bianca led her coworkers in 7 stores across Brooklyn, NY to form a union together and join CWA in 2014, making them the first unionized retail workers in the company. She later led her coworkers on a 49 day strike to secure their first contract for higher wages, flexible scheduling, and benefits. Verizon fired her for organizing, and during the Verizon strike, picketers across the country chanted “Bring Back Bianca!” Bianca was on the bargaining team to help secure their first contract for stores in Brooklyn as well as a store in Massachusetts. Bianca has shown that she has the political courage we need in this moment to represent the 41st district and stand with the many to fight for a New York that is clean, safe, and affordable for all. A New York that prioritizes the dignity of our retirees, essential workers and public servants is possible. Bianca I pledge to fight corruption and special interests conspiring to diminish the great promise of this city and our democracy.”
