We need people in City Hall who know that we—not the real estate industry, not the landlords—put them there, says @ceaweaver.bsky.social of @tenantbloc.bsky.social: www.commondreams.org/opinion/zohr...
Zohran Won by Running for the Tenant Majority | Common Dreams
This election was a fight between tenants versus landlords, and we have won the first battle. We still need to organize to win the general, and beyond that, tenant-focused policies.

Just arrived home from the endorsement meeting, and these are my thoughts:
@socialists.nyc is the only organization capable of producing a candidate like Zohran.
@nywfp.bsky.social is the only organization capable of cohering the organized Left.
I'm very proud of both of my orgs.
Let's win this.

As NYWFP works to consolidate support around its slate of candidates, we're proud to rank @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social #1 🥳
To give voters clear guidance, we're ranking a full slate of 5 candidates. When we unite, we can defeat Cuomo & elect a mayor who fights for us. Let's get this done!

Every New Yorker deserves a safe, healthy and affordable place to call home. Winning that city is at the center of this campaign.

There are lots of things the mayor CANT do on housing, but freezing the rent is one of the only things they can unilaterally do for 2.4 million New York renters. Policy plans are great, so is a rent freeze

As someone who's been doing electoral work since 2008, I can tell you that @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social's mayoral field game is the best I've seen yet, including even John Liu 2013.
The Left must be ready to rank several candidates, but Zohran is most definitely a contender.
