New York City DSA leaders break down Mamdani's platform
Mainstream media are just catching up to the fact that DSA is a BIG reason #ZohranMamdani has done as well as he has.
So now they are suddenly beginning to be interested in understanding how it works, how it is organized, and what it stands for.
Meet Jerry Nadler’s 26-year-old challenger
Now that Jerry Nadler, a 78yo Democrat
who has represented the quintessential Manhattan district between Union Square and Central Park for 50 years,
has announced that he is retiring
we need to look more closely at this "strongly progressive" challenger who,
given the nature of the district,
is highly unlikely to seek the endorsement of #NYCDSA

A worthwhile panel discussion (including Claire Valdez and Eon Tyrell Huntley) discussing, first, the #MamdaniForMayorNYC campaign in relation to the politics of Black New York; then #NYCDSA's relation to those politics.
"Where's your approach to racial equity? It cannot just be about the almighty dollar because it wasn't money that was stringing us up from trees."

Is the DSA on a collision course with AOC?
The socialist organization is committing to a hard line on anti-Zionism that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has so far rejected.
[ The latest surge of visibilty and legitimacy for #DSA, powered largely by the crucial role #NYCDSA has played in the ascendancy of #ZohranMamdani, has made more urgent and consequential the question of what sort of organization they want to be.]

Why I Joined the DSA
From Albany insider to card-carrying socialist, former Cuomo aide Lindsey Boylan , now a whistleblower, reflects on her political journey
Mamdani, his campaign, and the broad coalition of support will be written about for years to come. Among the most important forces behind this historic upset is the New York City chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Democratic Socialists Convene in Chicago After #ZohranMamdani’s Win
After an incredible — and incredibly messy — year, Democratic Socialists of America will meet in Chicago for their national convention
“There are tensions and differences within DSA. But one of the reasons that that is so obvious and apparent is because we are committed to pretty radical democracy — especially for a political organization operating at the level we are.”
Can Democratic socialists get Zohran Mamdani across the finish line?
Mayoral candidate’s ties to NYC’s democratic socialists may have aided his primary win – but can the group overcome critique from Democrats?
"Clearly there is something in the air that is shifting, because open socialists are running for office and winning, showing that our ideas are good, workable things that people actually need."

To the Field First, Comrades!
"What makes these declarations of spontaneous inception so remarkable is not merely that they are wrong, but that they get it entirely backwards. While Mamdani’s ascent may have bypassed the traditional Democratic Party machinery, his campaign didn’t achieve this through individual genius, but through a decade of methodical collective effort."

Moving Mountains in New York City
"the most important factor in Zohran’s victory is the movement that the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have built in New York City since the Bernie campaign in 2016...
"I went to a massive outdoor DSA party celebrating Zohran’s victory. What struck me most was that it showed how much DSA has built a movement culture. You could see it in the way everyone was talking to everyone."

How Zohran Won w/ NYC DSA
#NYCDSA spent years building an electoral juggernaut that has now made history and offers a model for the left everywhere across the United States.
Daniel Denvir, interviewing Grace Mausser and Gustavo Gordillo, gets a behind-the-scenes look at how NYC DSA and the Zohran campaign did it!
...and what they think lies in the future.
Without getting lost in the labels, #MamdaniForMayorNYC has managed to bring to a wider public something I have been arguing DSA needed to cultivate: a coherent, full-throated, comprehensive vision of an attainable future broadly consonant with values advanced by #socialism
In this video he explains how he got here.
