A non-binary activist and artist (pronouns: they/them/God/Goddess) in their late twenties, Prince will be the youngest candidate to appear on the ballot at next month's mayoral primary. They are also the most flamboyant—and most-likely to freestyle 20, 30 bars unprompted. Prince, who lives in Bushwick, had not reached the fundraising threshold to qualify for last week's mayoral debate. But although their top priority is to "spread love," don't call Prince's campaign performance art: They want to see $2,000 monthly universal-basic-income payments for every resident. Free healthcare. A 3½-day work week. Canceled rent for anyone who fell behind during the pandemic. “Love Centers” where residents can get therapy, classes, hugs and more.
