If the tax had remained in place, our city would have gained more than $50 million to fund schools, parks, libraries, and safe streets.

Chicago had a corporate head tax for years, and ending it shifted the cost onto regular residents. Bringing it back would apply only to the largest 3 percent of companies, not small businesses.

Working people shouldn’t face higher property taxes or grocery fees while wealthy corporations get tax breaks. Companies like Amazon and JP Morgan Chase rely on Chicago’s workforce and services, and they can afford to pay more.

DSA will continue to support Democratic Socialists running for office throughout the United States as we build a political movement of and for the working class that can defeat the oligarchy and win the political revolution. Socialists aren't just winning and contesting elections in NYC. This year, we've endorsed 18 DSA candidates from over 11 chapters around the country running for local office. Our National Electoral Commission also launched a national fundraising campaign, Socialist Cash Takes Out Capitalist Trash, to support our nationally endorsed slate of candidates, raising $100,000 in just 7 months.

We look forward to fighting alongside Mayor Mamdani to win a rent freeze, fast and free buses, and universal childcare. We will continue to fight for a free Palestine, to get ICE out of our cities, fight for alternatives to policing that truly keep communities safe, and stand up to Donald Trump’s attacks on our social services.

Our movement won a decisive victory but the real battles are just beginning. The rich and powerful will oppose DSA and Zohran at every turn, and we’ve already seen they will stoop to crass Islamophobia and racism to do so. We will only win this campaign’s demands if we build a mass movement of ordinary, working class people to defeat the corrupt establishment politicians. Photo: a mass of New Yorkers for Zohran marching across a bridge. At the front, Zohran and others hold a banner reading "our time is now."

Zohran wasn’t afraid to say boldly what his voters and the majority of Americans believe: that Palestine should be free, and that the US shouldn’t be complicit in Israel’s genocide. Photo: DSA members including Zohran in front of the White House fence. They hold a banner reading "Biden, you are starving Gaza. Permanent ceasefire now!"

This election proves that Democratic Socialist ideas are popular and that organized people can defeat the power of big money. Screenshots of news articles: Axios. Poll: College students prefer socialism to capitalism. Politico exclusive. Poll: Capitalism is out... and socialism is in. Photo of AOC and Bernie Sanders. Jacobin: Nearly two-thirds of young Americans view socialism favorably, according to a 2025 YouGov/CATO poll. That's up from 51% in 2019.

Through Zohran’s victory, the people defeated the oligarchy; the working class defeated major corporations; Democratic Socialism defeated the Democratic Party status quo. Thousands of DSA members in NYC-DSA played critical roles in the campaign as staff and volunteers: knocking doors, calling voters, talking to coworkers, and organizing in our unions and communities. Group photo of NYC-DSA members of all races and genders tabling for Zohran. They are holding campaign literature and posters and are smiling.

Right now, billionaires have more money than ever before. The rest of us struggle to get by. And the political establishment keeps it that way. Zohran’s campaign promised an alternative: a city that works for working people. Bar chart: 10 billionaires have gotten $728 billion richer in the past year.
