Me he reunido con Democratic Socialists of America. Compartimos una idea clara: frente al autoritarismo y la extrema derecha, más organización y más internacionalismo democrático.

Han demostrado en Nueva York que la izquierda tiene futuro si da esperanza a la mayoría trabajadora.

In a few short months, @DianaforQueens built an incredible coalition and ran a movement campaign that earned nearly 75% of the vote last night.

I'm grateful that she will serve out my term in the Assembly, and hopefully many to come. Astoria is in good hands.
