SHARE: Pauline Park, a Korean American transgender progressive activist, was skeptical of Andrew Yang when he ran for president. She thought his signature universal basic income proposal was too “vague” and did not not articulate a “larger vision” for addressing inequality and pursuing social justice. But as Yang geared up to run for New York City mayor and eventually jumped into the race in January, Park found the candidate’s platform more concerning. She didn’t like his position on the Palestinian-led Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement and his vow to “push back against” the movement if elected. His support for providing more resources to the New York City Police Department was another, and Park said Yang has failed to outline a clear affordable housing plan. (Read Yang’s plan here.)
