The Mamdani endorsement has changed the race. June 23rd is approaching. Nothing is off the table. 🎙️ 🏠 HOUSING — 88% of District 13 residents are renters. Apartments average $4,000/month. Rents climbed 23% in a year. Her plan: a Green New Deal for NYCHA, federally protected tenant organizing rights, and expanded community land trusts to create pathways to homeownership.🏗️ NYCHA — The district holds the highest concentration of public housing in the country. Her plan: fully fund and decarbonize NYCHA, create union jobs for residents, and eliminate the equivalent of 400,000 cars in emissions. 🛂 IMMIGRATION — Her friend Mahm Khalid was kidnapped by ICE off the streets of District 13. The congressman's office turned his family away. No corporate PACs. No AIPAC. No special interest money. 💰 CAMPAIGN FINANCE — Average donation: $55. She outraised the incumbent — the only woman in the country to do so. Her argument: organized people beat organized money. Mamdani won District 13 by 19 points. 🕊️ FOREIGN POLICY — On Gaza: \"It is absolutely a genocide.\" On the war in Iran: sign the Block the Bombs Act day one. Her framework: babies not bombs. A billion dollars a day funds this war. That billion could fund universal childcare in New York City for a year. 💉 THE DRUG CRISIS — Safe injection sites save lives — but concentrating the only two in the country in one district is redlining. The solution: distribute them across the city and address root causes through housing, jobs, and healthcare. 📌 darielizaforcongress.com | @darielisaforny ⏱️ CHAPTERS 00:01 Welcome &...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/0aW1dchdn1nlJBOFlV6zCjAReq1CNZaj0Q2QiSi4iKU/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iOGE1/MGFhYWQ5YzFkNmU1/Mzc5ZTZjNzQ4ZDIw/NTM4ZS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
