Alexa Avilés is a lifelong Brooklynite, a mom, and a fierce organizer for fully funded public schools, housing for all, and workers’ rights.
She is running for re-election to City Council in District 38 to fight for working people.
Alexa is a proud Boricua, parent, community organizer and public education advocate. She grew up in East New York, Brooklyn and has lived in Sunset Park for nearly two decades.
As City Council Member for District 38 — representing Red Hook and parts of Sunset Park, Bensonhurst, Borough Park, Dyker Heights, and Bath Beach — Alexa fights for well-resourced schools; safe and equitable school reopenings; dignified, affordable housing; equity and justice for our immigrant neighbors; and a Green New Deal for New York.
Alexa has led with passion, sensibility, pragmatism, and an unwavering commitment to District 38 residents and will continue to with your support.
Equitable Education
Every New Yorker deserves a quality education. Together, we will fight to fully fund our public schools, from PreK to CUNY, address the injustices of our education system, and build schools that serve our communities.
Universal, Safe, and Dignified Housing
Housing is a human right. But the city’s housing market is rigged, and only works for the rich. We need just housing policies that allow us — the people — to control our own land, rather than greedy developers.
A People’s Budget
Our city is facing an economic and health crisis, and an austerity budget that will slash critical services that working people like us depend on. Alexa is a dedicated advocate for the education, healthcare, and housing our communities need and deserve.
New York City Council District 38
Under new maps approved by the NYC Districting Commission in October 2022, District 38 will include parts of Red Hook, Park Slope, Sunset Park, Dyker Heights and Bensonhurst.
