"New Yorkers! Eric Adams is trying to kill RCV - the very system which enabled a leftist, progressive coalition to win, which 73% of New Yorkers voted for in 2019.

Testimony on this change is due TODAY. Here's a script you can use (you can copy/paste from the alt text)

#NYC#NewYorkCity

Hello, As a New Yorker who supports true democracy and fair elections, I urge you to REJECT ERIC ADAMS’ PROPOSAL to switch New York City to a “jungle primary.” This change, which the mayor is clearly trying to force through without public consent, will diminish the voices of Black and Brown New Yorkers, depress youth turnout in our elections, and is a transparent power-grab by our embattled Mayor. New York City cannot afford to upend its election system simply because Eric Adams is desperate. Please respect the will of the people and leave our primaries as they are. Thank you, [Your name]
