![Mamdani supports the [Public Power NY] effort to get the power authority to move faster and build 15 gigawatts of renewables, including a third of that in the downstate region. The authority currently has plans to build 6 gigawatts, although many of those projects are in the early stages of vetting.
As mayor of New York City, Mamdani would have a significant platform to pressure the power authority and Gov. Kathy Hochul to do more to decarbonize the downstate grid. The region’s electricity mix is currently 89 percent fossil fuels.
He could also promote additional solar and storage on city properties if he ascends to City Hall, although there is already a local law setting targets for solar on city facilities.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dx7xfcbtkmkerk72yxqwdo55/bafkreiba3ht3bujg4dxlqqfnx2g5waepta6xkkudgqf2vg22qjcsjm3o7m@jpeg)

Two-thirds of NYers support city-owned grocery stores. Three-fourths support free buses. Nearly 80% support a rent-freeze.
I'm running for mayor to deliver these exact policies.

Immigrants have also been at the forefront of the US labor movement. Check out the 1912 Lawrence textile strike ("Bread and Roses Strike") and 1982 garment workers' strike (done by Chinatown workers). I support garment workers *and* immigrants because they're often one and the same.
