Our Fight
This is a fight for our future, and we won’t back down. We’re taking back The Bronx, one step at a time - demanding affordable housing, quality education, and justice for every resident, no matter what it takes.
Our mission is to create platforms that bring our strength, resilience, and voices of the Bronx to the forefront.
Born and raised in the South Bronx, I know what it means to navigate hardship and find opportunity in unlikely places. Growing up as one of eight boys, I experienced firsthand the weight of responsibility early on. After losing my father, I watched my mother work tirelessly as our family’s sole provider. True dedication that shaped my understanding of strength, sacrifice, and resilience.
FIGHTING FOR
TOMORROW
The Office of Shakur T. Joseph is a people-powered platform dedicated to building a stronger, more just New York City.
Rooted in the Bronx, our work is focused on uplifting communities, advancing bold ideas, and fighting for the future our neighborhoods deserve. Support our fight and join the movement.
A SHARED VISION
We envision a future where New York City leads the way, setting the standard for what’s possible when communities are given the power and resources to define their own future.
Imagine a
NYC Where
Families are not constantly moving due to rising rents but are building long-term lives in neighborhoods that feel like home.
Residents can easily find and use the support and services they need—whether housing assistance, affordable food, reentry programs, or educational resources—without jumping through hoops.
Food programs, housing initiatives, and youth services are managed with the community’s voice at the center, creating solutions that are sustainable because they’re built from within.
Youth have opportunities to build careers, create businesses, and engage in their community, knowing they have a strong support network behind them.
Neighbors regularly come together in shared spaces to learn, collaborate, and celebrate the strengths that make our district unique.
THIS IS THE VISION FOR A MORE COMPASSION-ATE NYC
The Office of Shakur T. Joseph exists to build that future. A future rooted in collaboration, shared purpose, and a relentless commitment to real solutions, not just promises. Through political leadership, storytelling, and movement-building, we are creating space where everyday people can lead, thrive, and push systems to work for them, not against them.
