Translation: Last Thursday, LANDLORDS LOST. Rent stabilized tenants from across the city turned out for the RGB's preliminary vote to make our demand heard, and the RGB proposed a rent freeze on both one and two year leases — for the 1st time in the board’s history.

Let's cut through the shit. Real estate spent millions trying to stop tenants + Zohran and lost badly.
Of course MAGA + landlords are attacking Cea Weaver. They know what's coming: a rent freeze and a new era of tenant power.

Across the mosaic of these five boroughs, a shared vision: to make the nation's most expensive city affordable for the people who call it home.

We call for an end to these attacks and call on media, elected officials and political leaders to publicly condemn this Islamophobia.
CAAAV Voice retweeted
These attacks reflect the long and violent history of portraying Muslim, Sikh, Arab, South Asian, and Black New Yorkers as outsiders and threats.

Over the last days, mayoral candidates Cuomo and Sliwa and their supporters have launched a barrage of baseless hateful rhetoric claiming Zohran supports “global jihad,” that he would “cheer for 9/11” and running ads with the word “jihad” across his face.
We are outraged.

When DRUM Beats backed Zohran last October alongside @nycDSA, @CaaavVoice, and @nychange, it was because we saw the chance to elect a mayor who would fight for the material needs of our people.

Zohran carried both AD49 and AD47 in Brooklyn, which are heavily Chinese districts that swung hard to the right over the last 4 years. They chose the socialist over Cuomo. That's remarkable.

Then there’s @NYChange – a DAY ONE backer of @zohrankmamdani. NYCC members saw what this campaign could be, and threw down immediately, shaping the conditions of the entire mayoral race.

The beating heart of @zohrankmamdani’s campaign just might be the aunties and uncles who his candidacy has electrified. The incredible organizing of @drumBEATSnyc & @caaavvoice to get out the vote in communities too often ignored will forever change NYC politics for the better.

NYCC endorsed Zohran when he launched his campaign on October 23rd. When he was at 1% in the polls. Because we knew this moment was possible.
Proud to have joined @CaaavVoice, @DRUMBeatsNYC, @nycDSA and @JvpAction as Day 1 endorsers of @ZohranKMamdani’s historic campaign!
THE MOVEMENT IS NOTHING WITHOUT WORKING CLASS IMMIGRANTS. We know when we come to them with a vision, they're ready for it. This is what happens when we take our people seriously and we meet them and ORGANIZE.

NOW: Not only will @ZohranKMamdani freeze the rent, but he’s also bringing the vibes.

HAPPENING NOW: The working class New Yorkers who have backed @ZohranKMamdani’s campaign from Day 1 rally to get out the vote in Jackson Heights. @DesisRisingUp, @CaaavVoice, @nycDSA and @nychange!
Let’s elect a mayor who will fight for us, not the billionaires.

Sunset Park showed up to knock thousands of doors for @ZohranKMamdani and @AlexaForCouncil today 🔥
We were honored to join @UAW, @CaaavVoice, @MarcelaForNY, and @NYCDSA for a rally and canvass for two progressive champions who are running to make a better New York for all.
Honored to hold conversation w/ CCBA's Tony Chuy @yuhline @ZohranKMamdani, who committed to supporting Chinatown small businesses incl cutting punitive fines in half. He commended work to win birthright citizenship & stressed: Without it, we would not have anything to fight for
The room was packed with elders, seniors & retirees who've made their lives in Chinatown. @zohrankmamdani shared his plan to freeze rent & triple affordable housing: "Affordability is not just a problem for young people or new families-- this is also a problem for our seniors."

.@ZohranKMamdani and @yuhline are in Chinatown speaking at the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association. Niou says when she was in the state Assembly she was impressed with Mamdani’s leadership in helping get taxi drivers loans/debt relief programs underway
