#Zohran Mamdani

Hey, if you're feeling despondent about the election and are looking for a way to start channeling that into something, I have a suggestion for you! This is a local NYC thing, but you can still support from outside the city!

Eric Adams' (mayor of NYC, cop, unregistered foreign agent for Turkey according to the FBI, and all round shitty person) term is up soon. The Democratic primary for mayor will be in the spring, and the DSA (Democratic Socialists of America, the largest socialist organization in the country) has a candidate in the running!

NY State Assembly Member Zohran Mamdani is a socialist, an immigrant, and would be the first muslim mayor of NYC. Key policies of his campaign include improving our deteriorating public transportation (have you benefitted from the free bus lines in NYC? That was him!), making housing affordable in NYC by freezing rent stabilized housing (meaning that for the duration of his term, rent for rent stabilized housing will not go up) and building new affordable housing on publicly-owned land, and free universal childcare with higher pay for childcare workers.

As an assembly member, Zohran has consistently supported unions, worked to fund public universities, supported green energy initiatives, and criticized police misconduct.

Significantly, he is staunchly pro-Palestine. He introduced the "Not on Our Dime" bill, which targets "charitable" organizations in NY that are funneling money into Israel. Under this bill, organizations who send money to Israel would no longer be able to claim non-profit status and could actually incur major fines. In November of 2023, he also participated in a five-day hunger strike in support of an immediate ceasefire.

Zohran is an amazing candidate, and his candidacy is an incredible chance for leftist base-building in NYC. If you are concerned about splitting the vote and ending up with some centrist asshole candidate, fear not! NYC has ranked choice voting in primaries, which means you don't need to worry about splitting the vote!

If you can, consider donating to his campaign. NYC has a fund-matching program in mayoral elections, which means your donation will be worth eight times what you give. If you live in NYC, consider signing up to volunteer here.

And if you're interested in DSA more generally, here's our national website.

And just as a fun bonus, here he is after completing the NYC marathon lol

So now an anti Israel (antisemitic) candidate has been looking to run for nyc mayor.

I might have to vote for a republican for the first time in my life. Fucking hate it here.

when your favorite candidate for NYC Mayor doesn't have merch, you gotta get your friends together and make some!

Was canvassing for Zohran this weekend (if you can vote in NY and you see someone petitioning for him, please sign!).

Overall had great responses from everyone, got a bunch of signatures.

But I keep thinking of this one tourist who responded “sorry I’m Canadian!” And all I could say was “oh! Congrats!”

Someone actually good is running for mayor of NYC for once!

You can find out more about him on his campaign website.

If you can and wish to support him, please donate! Zohran’s campaign isn’t accepting any corporate or lobbyist money, so small donors are super important! If you’re an NYC resident and donate between $10-$250, the city will match your donation 8:1! You can also sign up to be alerted to volunteer opportunities here.

If you can’t, give this a share and give a grassroots campaign a shot!

18:40 to 20:09 if that is the case, then, it's the latest sign that the "let's reform the Democratic Party" strategy should be laid to rest once and for all.
