National Organizer & Trainer with The Frontline

Director of Comms & Strategic Partnerships, Unemployed Workers United/ National Distributed Organizer, Bernie 2020 Presidential Campaign/ Campaigns and Outreach, Demos

I attended Bronx public elementary and middle schools. I then was a student at Stuyvesant High School before going to Boston University where I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science and Public Health.

I serve on the Associate Board of WHEDco. I am also a member of Rider's Alliance and the Uptown/ Bronx Chapter of DSA.

I’m Latchmi Gopal, a Bronx native, and first-generation Guyanese-American. I am running for City Council because many of the systemic issues that my community endures are due directly to the lack of resources and budgetary investments. I support Medicare For All, a Green New Deal, Debt-Free College, and participatory budgeting. Too often predominantly Black, brown, immigrant, and working-class neighborhoods are overlooked in NY. As a city councilwoman, I will fight to provide affordable housing, guarantee quality healthcare to all, invest in public schools, empower workers, and tackle the climate crisis. This is what The Bronx deserves.
