Earlier this month, DeRay Mckesson, the activist and leading voice in the #BlackLivesMatter movement, announced he would be running for mayor of Baltimore.

DeRay, 30, rose to prominence calling for police reform in the wake of the deaths of Michael Brown and Freddie Gray at the hands of police. And in his new policy platform, he lays out his vision for tackling Baltimore’s ills. “Each of these [policies] has been developed with the feedback and input of citizens across the city,” he writes.

“We know that in order for our city to live up to its promise, it must be a city in which our young people thrive, a city that is economically viable as an institution and for/with its residents, and a city in which all are safe,” he says.
