Trying a different kind of door knocking today... this time in Albany to lobby for the EmPIRE Act 💪

Workers deserve good protections from bad bosses, wage theft, union-busting, and corporate greed. Proud to stand with workers' rights champions making real change in Albany.

Ready to hit some doors this week? 👀

We're back in action in Ridgewood TODAY and out in Woodhaven on Wednesday at 5:30.

If you're really feeling the love, we've got a special Valentine's Day DSA Slate Launch with @claireforny.bsky.social!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The Bangladeshi community is such an important and vibrant part of our city. So grateful to attend Rise Up NY’s candidate forum, connect with friends, and speak directly on how we can change NYC for the workers who run it!

Heads up: we're shifting tomorrow’s Ridgewood canvass to a phone bank due to the weather.

Stay warm and hit the phones with us at NOON TOMORROW! Sign up now: act.david4queens.com/phonebank

Striking with @nynurses.bsky.social and hanging with NYC-DSA slatemates Aber, Samantha, and Claire — only thing missing is a fair contract 👀

It’ll take all of us to support their demands! Take action 👇

Last weekend, freezing weather didn’t stop us from hitting the phones and talking with our neighbors about our plan to tackle NY's affordability crisis by taxing the rich!

Our campaign is rocking this week in Ozone Park (TODAY!) and Ridgewood (Sunday)! We need you to come out and show your support for a better AD38 that stands together against ICE, the affordability crisis, and bad landlords/bosses.

I'm honored to be endorsed by NYS Assembly Member Emily Gallagher, an anti-corruption champion and committed fighter for working people. I can't wait to stand beside her in Albany and work together for a more affordable future for this city.

Thank you to the Ridgewood Nepalese Society for welcoming me on the second-to-last day of Swasthani Mahotsav. In this month of fasting and prayer, I was honored to have the opportunity to convey my commitment to abundant and dignified lives for our Nepali neighbors and all New Yorkers!

Despite snow and ICE, in 3 weeks we’ve already:

👍Secured key endorsements from elected officials

✊Knocked over 1k doors in Ridgewood and Ozone Park

🤝Met with community/faith leaders across the district

👊Protested in the streets to demand ICE out!

Assembly Member @sarahana.bsky.social is a fierce advocate for the Nepali community and a champion for working people across New York State.

I'm honored to have her endorsement and ready to work with her in Albany towards the affordable New York that workers deserve.

Deeply honored to receive the endorsement of two legislators from overlapping and neighboring districts: NYS Senator @juliasalazar.bsky.social and Assembly Member @claireforny.bsky.social!

Julia and Claire have proven what’s possible when we elect leaders forworking people, not corporate donors.

While I'm busy shoveling my sidewalk, we’re also trying to “snowball” our campaign in AD38! If you live in district, your donation could be matched up to 12x!

We’ve got a huge fundraising goal by the end of the month, donate now to get us there: secure.actblue.com/donate/david...

Less than 24 hours after protests against ICE violence across the country, DHS murdered another protester in Minneapolis. If you are able, get out into the streets, demand an end to this violence, know your rights, and stand with your neighbors. Abolish ICE.

The legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. includes his vision of a world where we can afford to live with dignity. Today, we honor his fight for racial and economic justice and pledge to work every day towards a better society.

That's a wrap on our canvassing launch weekend!! We had 40 volunteers knock 800+ doors in the rain, sleet, and snow.

My fingers/toes are numb, but my heart is so warm. Thanks to everyone who came out for making this such a great weekend for our team and our neighbors in AD38!

We had an incredible snowy first day of canvassing in Ridgewood! 18 neighbors and friends joined us as we spoke to AD38 residents ready to stand together for a better Queens!

I’m David Orkin. I’m an immigrant workers’ rights attorney, UAW union organizer, and democratic socialist. Today, I’m announcing my campaign to represent the working people of New York State Assembly District 38 in Ridgewood, Glendale, Woodhaven, and Ozone Park.
