312 W 36th St. 4th floor 312 West 36th Street #4th floor New York, NY 10018

Dr. Leah Boustan is a Professor of Economics at Princeton University, where she also serves as the Director of the Industrial Relations Section. Her research lies at the intersection between economic history and labor economics. Her first book, Competition in the Promised Land: Black Migrants in Northern Cities and Labor Markets (Princeton University Press, 2016) examines the effect of the Great Black Migration from the rural south during and after World War II. Her recent work, including her new book Streets of Gold: America's Untold Story of Immigrant Success (PublicAffairs 2022), is on the mass migration from Europe to the United States in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

Professor Boustan is co-director of the Development of the American Economy Program at the National Bureau of Economic Research. She also serves as co-editor at the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics. Professor Boustan was named an Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellow in 2012 and won the IZA Young Labor Economists Award in 2019.

Leading the discussion is NYC New Liberal member Raquel Lima. Raquel immigrated to the US from Sao Paulo, Brazil at eighteen, accompanying her family as her father obtained employment in NY. Raquel’s road to citizenship was long and difficult spending years at beginning of her adulthood waiting for a workers’ permit to obtain legal employment. This experience sparked an interest in immigration reform, which Raquel advocates for passionately. She hopes that current & future immigrants have a speedier and less burdensome process so they can better adapt to the already challenging process of moving to a new country and establishing a new life.

Raquel is a Senior Administrative Manager for Research in the Department of Pediatrics at Northwell Health. She is responsible for overseeing the application, execution, and compliance of Federal, State and local grants, as well as clinical trials and research. Among these, Raquel is heavily involved in Community Outreach grants such as Child Obesity Prevention, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), New York Centers of Environmental Excellence, and NowPow. She lives in Flushing, Queens with her husband and two cats.

Democrats have a slim but real chance to keep the House in November. To have any shot we need to win this toss-up district.

In his words, why he's running:

As a cadet at West Point, I learned and lived by the West Point motto: Duty, Honor, Country. I’m running for Congress to bring that ethos to Washington, where it's desperately needed.

Duty: Means that whether you are leading troops in combat, leading a small business, or leading a county, you must deliver – there is no excuse for failure.

Honor: The honor code at West Point is crystal clear, “A cadet will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do”, as our families struggle, businesses close, our core freedoms are attacked, career politicians and big corporations are lying, cheating, and stealing for their own benefit. I will not tolerate that behavior.

Country: I took an oath to support and defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I always perceived the greatest threat to be foreign, but it is clear with right-wing attacks on our democracy, women’s healthcare, and our ability to keep guns off our streets, we must stand up to domestic extremists.

NYC New Liberals are excited to have Mohamed Attia, Managing Director of the Street Vendor Project, join us for a discussion.

62 Orchard Street #2nd floor New York, NY 10002

NYC New Liberals are excited to have Mohamed Attia, Managing Director of the Street Vendor Project, join us for a discussion on the work they are doing.

Mohamed Attia, SVP’s Managing Director, immigrated to the US from Alexandria, Egypt in 2008. He worked as a vendor for nearly ten years selling hot dogs, halal chicken and rice, and smoothies. He became a member of the Street Vendor Project in 2012, was elected to the Leadership Board, and served on the board until 2018, when he joined SVP’s staff. He lives in Bensonhurst with his wife.

There are more than 10,000 street vendors in New York City — hot dog vendors, flower vendors, book vendors, street artists, and many others. They are small businesspeople struggling to make ends meet. Most are immigrants and people of color. They work long hours under harsh conditions, asking for nothing more than a chance to sell their goods on the public sidewalk.

The NYC New Liberals support the city's street vendors in their fight for fair standards for the industry. Selling food should not be a crime. Street vendors are an integral part of the fabric of our city, and part of what makes New York great. They deserve a system that's easy to navigate, fair, and free from burdensome red tape. The NYC New Liberals support removing that red tape and ending absurd police crackdowns on vendors. NYC's future will be brighter with a food cart on every corner.
