About

 

 

Kimberly Cruz was born in Flushing, Queens, New York. Her family immigrated to New York City individually during the 1970s and 1980s to continue studying and become entrepreneurs. Kimberly Cruz has two siblings: one younger brother (Jeffrey Cruz) and an older sister. 

​

Kimberly Cruz attended John Bowne Public School  20 and JHS 189 Daniel Carter Beard, both schools in the minority-majority Sixth Congressional district. She then took the Specialized High School Admissions Test (SHSAT) to enter the Bronx High School of Science. She then graduated with distinction in Political Science at Yale University and was awarded fellowships for her various research endeavors advocating for accountability from the Council of East Asian studies: Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership, the Richter Summer, the Dwight Hall-YANA Summer Fellowship, and the Yale University President’s Public service Fellowship. In her final year, she was awarded the William H. McKim Prize and the Yale La Casa Community Outreach Award for her leadership as Club Colombia President, Kappa Kappa Gamma President, and STAND with Comfort Women President. Kimberly Cruz was also a Yale College Council senator, Membership Chair o the Latina Women at Yale, and Event Director of the Yale Undergraduate Legal Aid Association. 

​

Kimberly grew up in Queens, and is ready to take a different approach to civic education during this modern age of misinformation and disinformation.

This website is to provide an independent hard working space of keeping city agencies accountable with the power of primary source collection. In a paid partnership with local rising artist, founder of Franklin Comics, we are striving to bring unity to the races across Queens unifying ideologies that are internationally being torn apart but misunderstood locally on how this effect socioeconomic status.

​

As a response to the Supreme Court's affirmative action ruling, we want to proceed with providing support when the gaps are not being filled. Judicially we have been stripped of racial and gendered rights; legislatively we must keep the government accountable to give them back. 

​

Words from the Founder Kimberly Cruz: 

​

" I want to improve the definition of transparency between government officials and the public by exposing the inconsistencies in language, jargon, and promises with Kinetic Civic Education. For example, make sure kids in under-resourced communities get access to scientific thinking by exposing them to high quality google search terms to provide them a concept map on how they can get to their goal. The vision is to promote long term career help by focusing on creating an individualized toolkit for the Youth to carry with them for any civic battle.

​

I chose to be a warrior at a very young age. I saw my mother bleed after she sliced off two fingers in the kitchen in front of me twenty two years ago, with insufficient aid from our “guaranteed” health resources. However, that is not the trauma I am referring to; the injustice my family faced for decades when professionals in the medical and legal field do not have proper mechanisms to finish the job they promised under oath, and not forgetting low income populations are not well aware of their rights. My father and mother saw that their attorney was not equipped for the case against Flushing Hospital and they made their autonomous choice to find better representation but the procedural aspect of justice led to another U.S. family facing long term consequences.

This was in 2002. At this time, my mother had to face two surgeries and was pregnant with my younger brother, and this case ceased to exist in 2007 because an attorney failed to provide my parents adequate representation and did not fill in the gap in which his status, as a legal professional, should have shielded my parents from falling through the gaps of the legal system. Alas, my father’s pleas to obtain his primary, secondary, and the vast amount of evidence from this attorney, was met with an agreement that favored the professional who had a legal license to understand the civil rules of procedure. My parents did not fully understand when their new attorney called, and why the evidence was never transferred over. This is why I fight; my parents advocated for themselves, used city services to locate the right help, and the court transcripts allow you to replay history but the importance of record keeping without outside manipulation is the focus of this organization.

​

As a Kinetic Civic Educator, the main focus is to centralize the knowledge I gained at Bronx Science and Yale University to funnel more low-income students into higher education so they can be effective leaders of tomorrow. I am the product of the American Dream and the internship focusing efforts around all the skills I gained through my networks, failures, and exposure through casual conversations will allow them a safe space to work with another person in their Adolescence Stage entering their Adult Stage with a fresh set of eyes, grateful for the opportunity to use my mentors to pay it forward.

 

Since I am currently still working on this project, I will try to focus ahead of time to emphasize that low turnout in the polls is actually going against freedom of speech. I have seen how persistence results in proper determination in outcome and I have 2024 election hurdles but I believe the Sixth District will be able to plead their KCE and make a systematic change to this white supremacist model.

 

We focus on the 50 officials becoming available for the PLEA with other civic leaders, religious leaders, and others solely kept accountable to the Community Call: The of the Sixth. The 24 of every month, we communicate in person, in Flushing Meadows. An Adolescence Stage internship: The Flushing Meadows Beacon, Kinetic Civic Educators, will provide students a way to advocate for themselves, for their families, and for their future generation. The tips of how we can enter the Adult Stage protecting our trunk of five: City Services, Health, Insurance, Technology, and Education by figuring out the consensus amongst the generation to set the norms for their Adult Stage transfer into Rest, College/vocational school, Family, Workforce, Military or Death. Within the Adult Stage you have phases but you will be interacting into the system by these six and will use the five trunk markers to set high quality boundaries around the discussion of what else should be addressed for experts to know where we need help."

Intergenerational Issue:

The older generations wants to provide history and lessons that will affect the youth in the near future. However, the youth are focused on the disasters that the new society of a new social media company creates. There are inner social network societies that will affect the outer society that leads to grave consequences. Take action now so you are comfortable in your future. When they tell  o invest early it is so people have time to actually do it because life gets very hectic-- marriage, health, employment, children, friends-- and you never make time for yourself but you always make time for others. 

​

The younger generation feels incompetent because the agencies that are supposed to provide when the youth are in trouble, will turn their backs and say these agencies do not have the resources. So who will step up and provide the resources?  

​

Education:

 Yale University graduate with a B.A. in Political Science focused on misinformation, privacy, and intergenerational trauma. Studied at The Bronx High School of Science.

I have helped students who want to attend competitive colleges. I went to the Bronx High School of Science and I got into Yale, Brown, UChicago, Cornell, UPenn, NYU, and others.
