My name is Illapa Sairitupac.
[ee·YA·pa sigh·ree·TOO·pak]
I’m a Tenant Organizer and anti-ICE activist in Lower Manhattan.
Like many of our neighbors, I work hard to make ends meet. New York is becoming unaffordable for anyone but the wealthy.
It doesn’t have to be this way. From the street stalls of Chinatown to the bodegas of the Lower East Side, our city was built by the sweat and labor of working people, and our district has a proud tradition of workers and families fighting for a better life. That’s the New York I’m fighting for, and that’s why I’m running to represent us in Albany.
My Platform
Fund Mayor Mamdani’s Affordability Agenda
I will Tax the Rich to fund the services New Yorkers need. Working-class families deserve affordable housing and healthcare, and free universal childcare.
Stand with Immigrants
New York is built by immigrants. We must protect our neighbors from ICE, pass New York for All, and ensure the people who make our state so great can live vibrant lives while contributing to our community.
Build Housing for All
As a tenant organizer, I’ve seen my neighbors struggle with displacement, crumbling housing, and an affordability crisis. In Albany, I’ll champion the Social Housing Development Authority which will deliver affordable union-built housing.
Build Worker Power
Labor built this city. New York is and will always be a union town. I will always stand with workers against corporate greed.
Donate
No fossil fuel money. No real estate money. No corporate money. Our campaign is powered by small donors like you.
Assembly District 65
Assembly District 65 is home to some of the last working-class communities in Manhattan. It represents Lower Manhattan, Chinatown, the Lower East Side, Two Bridges, and the Financial District.
