In his victory speech, Zohran Mamdani shouts out Richard, a taxi driver he went on a hunger strike with.
“My brother, we are in City Hall now,” he said.
Revisit the story from Nov. 2021, including Mamdami’s quote which is quite striking in this moment.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera
In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.
As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Don't forget that Zohran Mamdani spent his entire campaign standing proudly beside the trans community. He went to trans rights rallies just to show support. He proudly waved trans rights flags without hesitation. He refused to back down in support of trans rights. That makes me happy.

We've learned from Chicago folks:
If you see ICE lurking: Blow your whistle intermittently
If ICE is kidnapping someone: Blow your whistle continuously
If you hear a whistle: Get to safety if you need to OR Follow the whistle to form a crowd
Stay nonviolent, don’t stay silent!

The entire piece is worth a read.
"The evidence suggests that compromising on basic humanity doesn’t broaden coalitions; it hollows them out. The work now is to find ways to expand our reach without abandoning our foundation—to bridge gaps, yes, but never at the expense of our neighbor’s humanity."

What we're seeing in the "don't sign up for protests" discourse is what Paulo Freire described as the convert's failure to trust the knowledge of the oppressed. As the convert tries to stand in solidarity with the oppressed, they refuse to let go of a world where they were the authority by default.
