LATEST NEWS: “Zohran Mamdani and the Progressive Alliance: When New York Says ‘Not for Sale’”
NEW YORK – In a historic night at Forest Hills Stadium, New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani joined Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in rousing the crowd with the slogan “New York is not for sale.” Thousands of supporters chanted, rallying behind a campaign on behalf of workers and social justice.
Mamdani pledged initiatives like free childcare, free public buses, and city-run grocery stores, funded by tax increases on corporations and the top 1%. Bernie Sanders emphasized that this was a way to fight plutocracy and bring economic justice to New Yorkers.
After defeating Andrew Cuomo in the primary, Mamdani became a national political phenomenon. The endorsements of Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and New York Democratic leaders like Governor Hochul help consolidate progressive forces, while sending a strong message to Donald Trump and far-right movements: New York is not a playground for authoritarianism or money.
