Most U.S. anti-war movement supporters don't think that the U.S. Congress's support for shipping more munitions to the Ukrainian government since February 2022 has either decreased the danger of World War III breaking out or brought much peace to the people living in Ukraine.
Yet one of New York City's Democratic representatives in Congress, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, has apparently not attempted to do very much in Washington, D.C. to oppose the U.S. Congress's support for shipping more munitions to the Ukrainian government.
Although Rep. Ocasio-Cortez now represents some Bronx and some Queens tenants in the U.S. Congress, her family apparently historically owned two apartments in the Bronx and a house in Westchester County; and the Bronx-Queens congressional representative historically attended a high school in Westchester County. As David Freedlander noted in his 2021 book, The AOC Generation: How Millenials are seizing power and rewriting the rules of American politics:
"...Sergio Ocasio...got into Brooklyn Tech...He met AOC's mother, Bianca Cortez, in Puerto Rico, where the two married before settling in the Bronx. They bought an apartment in the...middle-income Parkchester complex for $36,000 and later bought another similarly priced unit nearby, where Ocasio kept an office...His business, Kirschenbaum and Ocasio Roman Architects PC...were beneficiaries of...state contracts...Clients included the Parkchester complex, where the Ocasio-Cortez family owned an apartment...
"Ocasio-Cortez...grew up not in the Bronx, but in Westchester County...Ocasio-Cortez was...explicit that the home in Yorktown Heights, a town of under 2,000 people in Westchester County, was purchased with the help of aunts, uncles, and other relatives...
"...In Westchester she was often the lone Latino in her class...Yorktown was not diverse...Another friend said there were only a handful of Asian kids in their class of three hundred, and no African American students..."
