Description

Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-desc-yt New York City is preparing to welcome Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist and member of the New York City Democratic Socialists of America, into office as mayor. Ahead of the highly anticipated inauguration, we sit down with NYC-DSA's co-chair Grace Mausser to discuss the goals of the incoming administration and next steps for the volunteer-powered campaign apparatus that helped propel Mamdani to City Hall. "Just getting a mayor into office, while impressive and very exciting, is not enough," says Mausser. "The reason we rallied behind Zohran is because he is committed to building our project."

I wish the best but I hope he understands that Native Americans are still the majority and he’s going to need them as well and he should make sure all his policies help everyone and not just immigrants because that might backfire on him. That’s the only advice I would give him. God bless the world. 🌎 God bless humanity. I wish Health & Happiness for everyone and a good new year for everybody in a common section. Sending love happiness and health to you all.❤

*All this pain is waking us up collectively and inspiring US to BE OUR BEST--not through fruitless words, but through action.* We just elected an exceptional politician to 'make some good trouble'. ✊ ❤🤍💙✊ *We are taking back our country.*

I was poor and I was rich. NYC is wonderful rich. You can go every place. Poor you just walk outside of everything.
