- Women’s rights
- Fairness to seniors
- Criminal justice system and penal reform
- International peace and disarmament
- Access to adequate housing, health care and education
The nominee must be a resident of the former Borough of East York who lives by Agnes’ motto, “Think Globally, Act Locally”.
