Residents and business owners in Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's district are frustrated with her focus on issues like gender markers for passports while ignoring crime along Roosevelt Avenue. Concerns include rising crime, drugs, gangs, and sex trafficking in their community. Local leaders, like Rosa Sanchez, emphasize the need for AOC's attention towards public safety and quality-of-life issues. Meanwhile, AOC's recent newsletter addresses the ability to update gender markers on passports, a matter that is currently influenced by a federal court's ruling amid a political context involving Trump’s executive order on biological sex documentation.
We are more focused on the bigger issues. We need our congresswoman's help to stop crime, drugs, gangs, sex trafficking. I would love for her to address these issues.
Public safety is the big issue along Roosevelt Avenue. We need her help.
Due to a U.S. District Court's decision last month, the State Department is honoring requests to update the gender marker on passport applications for the time being.
If you are a class member, you are eligible to receive a passport with your sex marker of choice (M, F, or X), the State Department said.
