It always seems impossible until it is done. Proud of New York’s entire progressive movement for leaving it all on the field. For @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social, for @shahanafrombk.bsky.social, for @alexaforcouncil.bsky.social. Through pouring rain and extreme heat. Beating big money. Love you all.
Me with Zohran Mamdani in front of his new office-to-be on Eid. We are holding signs that say Working Families Party.Posters for Shahana Hanif and Zohran Mamdani hang side-by-side on top of onions in the window of a Bangladeshi grocery store in Kensington, Brooklyn.The Brooklyn Chapter of the Working Families Party gathers in Prospect Park to celebrate our hard-earned victories.Elected officials like Zohran Mamdani, Tish James, Brad Lander, Adrienne Adams, Nydia Velázquez, Chi Ossé, Crystal Hudson, Sandy Nurse, Justin Brannan, Monique Chandler-Waterman, and Rita Joseph stand hand-in-hand championing the New York Working Families Party’s mayoral slate on stage in front of an exuberant cheering crowd in a theater.

Incredible Progressive Day of Action for @shahanafrombk.bsky.social today! Dozens gathered at Carroll Park alongside @workingfamilies.org @nywfp.bsky.social @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social @tiffanycaban.bsky.social to knock on doors. You too can get in on the fun: www.mobilize.us/ny-wfp/event...
32 people stand in beautiful, shady Carroll Park holding signs and lit for Shahana Hanif for City Council District 39 and Antonio Reynoso for Brooklyn Borough President.Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso and Council Member Tiffany Cabán pump up the crowd to knock on doors for a true progressive champion, Shahana Hanif.Dozens of volunteers listen carefully in Carroll Park as Antonio Reynoso and Tiffany Cabán tell them why it’s vital to re-elect Shahana Hanif to represent City Council District 39.A piece of lit tucked into a doorway asks voters to vote to re-elect Brooklyn-born and raised City Council Member Shahana Hanif on June 24. A large logo notes she’s endorsed by the Working Families Party.

Immigrants are New York, so no wonder that every issue showed up at tonight’s mayoral forum: worker protection + business permitting, LGBTQ rights + healthcare, schools + safe streets. Shoutout to @thenyic.bsky.social @cunyslu.bsky.social @thecity.nyc @documentedny.bsky.social for a great forum.
Mayoral candidates Zohran Mamdani, Michael Blake, Scott Stringer, Brad Lander, and Zellnor Myrie sit on stage with a purple background banner with the shapes of a city skyline and that says “Mayoral Candidate Forum on Immigrant NYC.”

Whose city is it? Great to hear from seven mayoral candidates at today’s @workingfamilies.org x @thenation.com forum, as the @nywfp.bsky.social endorsement decision looms large over the race. Friends, the next mayor of New York City is on this stage.
A moderator and seven candidates sit in a row on stage at BRIC: Christina Greer, Zellnor Myrie, Jessica Ramos, Scott Stringer, Michael Blake, Adrienne Adams, Zohran Mandani, and Brad Lander.
