“We’ve been leading also not just about closing Rikers, but what we turn it into. … The community has long been drafting a renewable Rikers plan to make sure that we not just address the toxic injustice — criminal injustice and the environmental injustice on the island — but also turn it into a fountain of real change.” — Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ask a Pol Politics “I think this is about ideas. This is about fighting for not just any change, but actual substantive change that people are going to feel in their lives. … Are they going to see us actually take these people on, or are they going to see us take their money and look the other way?
