On this day in 2022, Assemblymember @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social joined the @sbworkersunited.org picket line at the NYC Roastery. Workers won the demands of that strike and are now fighting for a contract. Lucky for us, in just a few he will be our mayor fighting alongside us!

THANK YOU @bradlander.bsky.social - who has spend his career fighting for workers and has taught us all a lesson on solidarity throughout this campaign.

He put his heart into doing what was right and was instrumental in defeating Cuomo.

We are so excited to see what he does next!
Hope and solidarity won tonight, and will win again in November.

Congratulations, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

WHAT A NIGHT!! From the beginning, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social was in it to win it, and his campaign has been an inspiration to all of us.

He has shown us that a principled, inspiring, and joyful message can and will win - in organizing and in politics. Truly an incredible victory 💜

Checkmate! The workers won.
 
Congrats to @workersunitednynj.bsky.social and @tabletopwu.bsky.social workers at Hex&Co, The Brooklyn Strategist and The Uncommons for winning a union and a contract!

These workers waged a historic campaign with strong organizing & broad community support.
BIG NEWS: @tabletopwu.bsky.social ratified their contract - the FIRST of its kind in NYC!

The contract addresses critical demands, including big pay raises (up to a 19% increase) for the lowest-paid employees, consistent scheduling, and new workplace protections & benefits for all members.

.@bradlander.bsky.social was arrested for standing up for immigrant NYers. He's showing us what true leadership looks like when our members face these same types of horrifying interactions with ICE every day.

We demand that he be released and that ICE stop terrorizing our communities.

Early voting has begun! We're excited to get out the vote for @bradlander.bsky.social, a proven leader for workers' rights across the city!

Yesterday we were proud to host @bradlander.bsky.social and @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social! After co-endorsing both of them last week, we're so happy that they stood in front of photos of our members to cross-endorse each other.

Rank them in your top two starting TODAY and #dontrankcuomo!

I’ve stood w/members of @workersunitednynj.bsky.social at rallies, picket lines, & in the board room to stand up to Starbucks & more—now I’m deeply honored to have their endorsement.

When I’m Mayor, I’ll establish an Office of Workers Rights to make sure these rights are protected and expanded.

In solidarity w/ @tabletopwu.bsky.social, customers marched on ownership at the Brooklyn Strategist to condemn their attempts to limit workers' free speech!

"We implore you...at a time when many of our rights are under attack by people in power, to reject the cynicism of austerity and censorship."
